Top Tips About Wood Floor Sanding
It has been a trend for quite a few years now to restore old wooden floors using wood floor sanding methods. Not only can it have remarkably beautiful results but is an environmentally sound choice as well. You are restoring perfectly good wood that just needs a make-over so not encouraging more wood to be cut down and from a health perspective it is also good as wood floors are much healthier than having carpets which can be full of dust mites and other unsavoury things.
Before taking on the job yourself or deciding to employ specialists as many people do for wood floor sanding London area and other parts of the UK, either way it is important to have a checklist of tips so that you understand the process yourself.
The first thing to be aware of is that in most cases once you take the carpet up there is a high chance you will see narrow gaps and imperfections which will need to be rectified before starting the job. This is the first tip to consider as if this is not done properly the end result will not be as good as it should be. These imperfections and gaps can be filled using fillets and as well as this any older wooden floor boards should be checked and replaced if necessary.
These days there are excellent wood floor sanding machines available to do the sanding work for you, however if you are not familiar with these machines please be careful as if you are not skilled and you stay in one place for too long the machine can eat into the floor. Therefore get used to the machine first by practising with it turned off, walking around the room and dealing with corners.
To do the job professionally you will need to have a variety of different textured sand paper. A really professional wood floor sanding company will use what is called a 7-tier system which eventually finishes the floor with an extremely fine sand paper.
Before applying the chosen lacquer a process which is called de-nibbling needs to be carried out. This will help result in a very smooth surface. Once this is done it is best to apply three coats of high traffic lacquer, remembering that there are many environmentally friendly products available.
Finally you can apply the stain. If the job is done correctly you should be highly impressed with the transformed room. Some people who really like to do DIY work hire the machines and do the work themselves. Many others opt to choose a professional to do it for them as they do not wish to risk damaging the precious wood. There are many expert London wood floor sanding companies and those who offer their services in other parts of the country.
