I've never seen this before

As the title suggests, I've never seen this before and was so surprised to have come across this.

This flooring was sent all the way over from Brazil and was laid nicely, however, for the protection it was covered with plastic sheeting with the intention of keeping it from being damaged.

Unfortunately, when the covering was lifted it removed all of the floor coatings, and to make things worse it left an imprint throughout the whole room and every room that had been fitted upstairs. 

In other words a complete disaster, I was asked if I could do anything with this? And I thought to myself do I need a headache?  No, I didn't I suggested that a flooring company could sand off the surface and refinish it.  A major project and the colour would have to be matched exactly.

I was surprised as to why the flooring manufacturer did not stain the wood first and then coat it over with several layers of lacquer to avoid this happening.  Instead of just spray colouring the flooring I guess it must be easier for them.

The picture shows builders footprints and the manufacturers warning about the fact that the covering must be removed within thirty days.

What I think caused the damage, and why the film covering stuck so hard, was due to the extreme heat that we have had recently in the UK.  And as the room windows had no covering to stop the strong sunlight coming through and this led to the room temperature rising extensively and baked the coating onto the floor lacquer.

There is a lesson to be learnt here, don't use plastic film in hot environments, for a few pounds extra, Correx covering would have protected the flooring and as it's a little thicker this might have kept the Sun back.

I have worked on floor damage before, but on this occasion, I decided this was going to be too much for me. A wise decision I feel.

Someone will have a large headache sorting this out.
Thank you for reading my posts.
