The EcoGrit Technical Team
EcoGrit's blog and product advice is written by our technical team. The team carries decades of combined experience in timber floor sanding, finishing, and restoration across Australian conditions. We publish under the editorial name Bill Lazzio on the blog. The advice is real, the trade backgrounds are real, the brand insight comes from people who apply these products on site.
