WHY REFINISH A WOOD FLOOR? - Solid Flooring - Hardwood Flooring Contractors

How To Restore Hardwood Flooring?
The preparation: Your room must be cleared of any furniture and fixtures, as well as any easily washed drapes, artwork, or lampshades, before the hardwood floor refinishing experts start working. You will also need to take out any nails that are left in the baseboard moldings. There will be a lot of dust, so protect any vents or light shades with a cloth to prevent them from becoming dirty.

Sanding
The floor sanding service is a tedious procedure that calls for a variety of sandpaper kinds, each with progressively finer grits (30-40, 50-60, and 80-100). Each area of the floor is sanded with a coarser paper using a sander before going on to the next finer level. The dust is cleaned up and the floor is mopped after the last level of sandpaper has been applied.

Polishing
You can use 120 grit sandpaper if your thing is not sufficiently smooth, although you generally won’t need it. The only time polishing is typically required is when you wish to remove the existing hardwood coating and install a new one. Our hardwood floor refinishing experts can advise you on when this option should be considered.

Cleaning
The entire space is vacuumed to remove dust after a sanding process. By using mineral spirits, stains are also removed from walls, windows, and any other untreated surfaces. The hardwood floor is afterward vacuumed once again and cleaned with mineral spirits.

Staining
Staining wood is another way to alter its color. This process is not necessary unless you want to change the wood’s color. Nevertheless, if you want to give your floorings another color, just follow the directions on the stain bottle for optimal application. Solid Flooring provides a hardwood floor staining service that can take care of the project while guaranteeing you an optimal result.

Sanding sealer should be used if you do not intend to dye the wood. Keep in mind to begin at the furthest place and go toward the door. If you begin staining or sealing in the wrong direction, you don’t want to end up in a bind.

After sanding, sweeping, vacuuming, and cleaning your wood floor, it’s time to apply clear polyurethane. Open windows and doors and prepare brushes as directed by the manufacturer. To prevent them from adhering to your floor and getting stuck in polyurethane, remove any loose bristles and extra fibers from your brushes.

Place furniture back in its original location after the polyurethane has dried. To protect the finish, avoid dragging anything across the floor.

You can enquire about a hardwood flooring contractor if you’d like. Starting a hardwood floor refinishing project while you are unsure of how to proceed is not the best way to go. A small, inexpensive job could turn into a catastrophe that will cost thousands of dollars to repair. Make certain you understand just how to carry out the work.
