Floor Refinishing

 

I love polished hardwood flooring, a natural and beautiful product that sets itself apart from other flooring products. Wood floors blend perfectly with traditional, modern or contempory decor.

 

Whether you have just discovered wood floors under old carpeting or have had them for years you need to consider Floor Refinishing at some point. Buffing and waxing will often provide a tempory shine but Floor Refinishing is the only way to restore the wood to its original beauty and richness. It can be hard work and many people often opt for a professional service although most of the necessary equipment can be hired and the steps are pretty straightforward if followed closely.

If your existing floor has shallow scratches, general wear and tear damage and the surface is generally quite dull a light sand and an appication of top coat may be enough to restore the wood floor.

 

Remove all the furniture and give the floor a thorough sweep or vacuum. To help avoid spreading dust through the house hanging plastic over doorways and laying towels under doors and over vents is a good idea to do before the sanding process begins.

 

Floor Refinishing can be an inconvenient and time consuming task but the finished result will be well worth all the hassle whether you do it yourself or have the job done by a professional.
