Floor Sanding & Varnishing Service - Floor Sanding Experts
We provide a dust free floor sanding service. Initially, we strip floors down to the original wood and then carry out a full floor sanding process before coating. Often we seal the floors prior to coating. Sealing is a more ‘liquid’ version of the final varnish and is applied to create a barrier between any potential contaminates with the new varnish and to act as a ‘grain filler’ and achieve a ‘grain raise’.
Staining
It is advised that stains are tested/sampled beforehand (by ourselves and approved by you, the customer) on the floor that is to be refinished. The depth of colour is largely dependant on the type and age of wood to be treated so it is imperative that the sampling does take place. In contrast, we offer bleaching and liming (whitening) services.
Choosing a Finish
Timber floor finishes may be oil based, composite finishes (mixes of an oil and solvent borne polyurethanes), solvent borne polyurethanes, and water borne polyurethane.
When choosing a finish it is necessary to consider:
- Wear and the amount of traffic on the floor
- Ongoing maintenance
- Board movement after installation
- The risk of edge bonding
- The gloss level of the finish – gloss, or low sheen
A finish similar to that of fine furniture should not be expected, as timber strip floors are not finished in a factory environment. Different pieces of flooring will sand differently.
The finished floor can be expected to have an even appearance free from heavy sanding marks, blooming or frequent air bubbles in the surface.
A minimal level of contaminants minor sanding marks and small depressions of the finish at board edges and in nail holes etc. may be visible.
Some finishes will yellow with time and if rugs are moved, a contrast in the depth of colour can be expected.
