Painted wooden floors are really fashionable. That is when they are done right. A painted wood floor can transform a space. However, it is important to be aware of the pros and cons of this alternative.
The good thing is that you can turn a wood floor into a new floor with a few coats of paint. As with any wood restoration project, it is important to prepare the floor appropriately. This will help the finish last longer.
However, as you can imagine with painted wood floors, they can also mark and peel. This can be made worse by poor preparation.
Sanding Painted Wood Floors
We were invited to help sand back and restore these painted wooden floors in Crosby. The previous owner had painted the wood boards blue. The wood floor looked anything but natural and our client wanted to reinstate their natural feel.
It is important to remember that when you are restoring painted wood floors that you carefully inspect as you go along. With such a brightly coloured floor, it would be easy to get carried away and think the preparation is done once the paint is removed.
This part of the process takes away the surface coatings. However, it is important that the surface underneath is also appropriately prepared so that all damage, scuffs and deterioration is also removed. The surface needs to be seamlessly smooth for the new wood finish to be applied.
There are different ways in which wood finishes can be applied. We work solely with PALLMANN products in order to achieve hard wearing and beautiful finishes. Have you got questions about the type of finishes available? Are you interested to see what it would cost to restore your wood floors?
