Sanding Polishing

What is floor Sanding and Polishing?

Timber floor sanding, polishing, and coating are the processes used to improve the appearance and durability of wooden floors. If you have wooden floors in your home or carpeted floors that have timber underneath, then you might be thinking about making them look shiny and new by doing this. The sanding process removes the top surfaces of the floor by using abrasive tools, while polishing smooths out any remaining imperfections. Then finishes or coatings (such as varnish or urethane or stains) help to protect the surface and enhance its appearance. These processes can be used to rejuvenate old or damaged floors or to maintain and protect newer floors.
Can all types of wood floors be restored?
Yes, in most cases, all types of wood floors can be restored. However, the extent to which they can be restored may vary depending on the floor condition and the type of wood.
How long does the sanding and polishing process take?
It depends on the size of the area, the type of restoration required, and the condition of the floor. But in most cases, it takes about 2-4 days.
What is involved in the timber floor restoration process?
The process typically involves a few steps, including floor preparation (cleaning up), sanding off the old finish, repairing and filling gaps and holes, and then applying a new coating. Additional steps may be required depending on the floor condition.
Can you change the floor colour during restoration?
Yes, it is possible to change the floor colour by applying a new stain or tinted finish. Stains come in a wide range of colours and can be used to alter the appearance of the wood, providing you with options to achieve your desired aesthetic.
Does sanding create a lot of dust in my home?
Unfortunately, sanding does generate a significant amount of fine dust. However, we use specialised tools equipped with a dust containment system helps to minimise this issue and maintain a clean work environment.
When can I walk on the floor after coating?
The finish needs time to dry and cure, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on the type of finish used. Typically, you can walk in with bare feet after 12 hours, but furniture should not be moved in within a minimum of 3 days.
