Worn wood floors can be problematic for a few reasons. The range of damage is quite dramatic ranging from warping, cupping to light scratches and duller areas.
A worn floor lacks sheen and evenness in colour. Poor finishing techniques can be the cause as much as family pets and household use. It is important to remember that over time, all wood floors eventually wear.
What are the possible causes for this damage? It could be that the floor has not been sanded properly in a previous wood restoration project. It could be that the finish was built up too quickly or it could be that the wood floor maintenance was not appropriate.
Even when sanded and finished properly, wood requires regular maintenance. Dirt left on wood floors acts like sandpaper when walked on. Movement of animals and unprotected furniture feet can also create deep scratches. When you identify these issues, it is best to sand down the floor to bare wood and refinish it.
Restoring Worn Wood Floors – Our Process
We will always assess the floor. This allows us to locate any loose floorboards and build a plan to fix them before the job begins. Only when we are sure that all boards are appropriately fixed, we will start the floor sanding process.
We use a virtually dust-free sanding provision. This uses modern technology and a high-powered filtration system to draw away dust. Furthermore, it offers a superior surface finish, ready for the application of a wood finish product.
Your wood floor will be left more even and striking in its appearance. Furthermore, it will be much easier to maintain and clean routinely. This offers the best solution for anyone owning a beautiful wood floor. If you would like to find out more about our wood floor sanding service, please call today on 0800 852 7188.
