What is Floor Sanding

Floor sanding is the process of removing the top layers of a wooden floor by sanding with abrasive materials. A variety of wood flooring can be sanded; these include: Teak, Beech, Pine, Parquet, Oregon, etc. Floor sanding usually involves three stages: Preparation, sanding, and coating with a protective sealant.

Many old floors are sanded after the previous coverings, such as carpet, are removed. After the carpet is discarded, or donated to a local animal shelter in our case, the hidden gem that was lying beneath is sanded back to its former glory. It’s an effective and relatively quick way to breathe life back into old floors.

There are many reasons to consider sanding your wooden floors; these include:

• to bring your floors back to life by refreshing their worn appearance
• to remove an existing finish
• to sand out an existing stain
• to refurbish a damaged or scratched surface
• for spot repairs

Floor sanding services offered:

Floor restoration aka sand and seal

• We start with a rough sand, which removes all the old sealers, oils, grime and waxes that have accumulated over time and gets the floor down to the bare wood again.
• Next we do a medium sand, followed by a fine sand. This makes sure that the floor is smooth and ready for the sealer to be applied.
• The next step is to apply 3 coats of sealer in either a satin, or gloss finish.
• The floors get a light sand after the first and second coats of sealer.
• This fully restores the floors and leaves them with a smooth and even finish.

Floor rejuvenation aka buff and coat

• The first step is to give the floor a light sand with an elliptical buffing machine.
• One coat of sealer is applied.
• This process is quick and cost effective and designed to bring the zest back to your floors.
