Floor Sanding Bearsden

If you do decide to forge ahead and get those wooden floors sanded down you'll need to find the right tradesmen to do it. A quick search on the net or in the local Bearsden newspaper will turn up a few prospects. Alternatively, you could try asking friends or neighbours to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding yourself is probably not advisable unless of course you are a really accomplished do-it-yourselfer, and even then you will need to hire some pretty hefty equipment which could be expensive.

Your first thought will likely be that this process is going to generate an awful lot of dust and mess, but that's no necessarily true. Your floor sanding company will not be using little hand held sanders like those you might have employed for sanding down a door or some paintwork. They'll arrive with some fairly hefty equipment which includes an extraction system which draws up all the dust particles as the sanding proceeds.

Companies such as: Pallmann, Bona, Hummer and Lagler produce specialist floor sanding devices, and most of these can of course be hired from tool hire providers in the Bearsden area, and elsewhere in Scotland, if you need one. If you're using a specialist floor sanding service for the project, you won't need to concern yourself with that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Having a room that's totally clear of furniture and other articles, is best when you are undertaking the floor sanding operation. The sanding equipment is fairly large and needs to be manoeuvred around the room, therefore having stuff in the way isn't very helpful. Clear away everything from the room and let the dog see the rabbit, it is going to make the work so much easier.

So as to get your sanded floor up to the desired standard there will be some more work that needs doing before any sealing and finishing can take place. There could be some splits and cracks in the boards and also nail and screw holes, which will all need to be filled with a suitably shaded wood filler. The restored sections should be given a final sanding with a fine glasspaper to achieve that super smooth finish.

The next job is to give the newly sanded flooring a goodly coat of sealer, Liberon is usually a good choice. This should provide a perfect base on which to brush the finishing coats of varnish, and offers some additional protection against a number of issues which might affect your flooring down the line. This will be resistant to alcohol, heat and water, and will also help in the prevention of scuffing, staining and scratching. Once dry, your floorboards can then be given a quick final sanding with smooth paper and finally 2 or 3 coats of finishing varnish.

Seeing that, the first thing you think of when looking at the process of refurbishing your floorboards is all of the effort, dust and disruption, you might start to wonder whether it's really worth it. If you are having doubts about whether you want to put yourself and your family through all this hassle, it might pay you to analyze the positives and negatives of the floor sanding process. Since we have already mentioned the negatives (dust, hard work and disruption), now we will talk about a few of the positives.

• Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: With a previously exposed wooden floor it is likely to show a few signs of wear over time and the floor sanding and polishing procedure will bring it back to its former glory.
• Reduces the Number of Pests and Bugs: Although wooden flooring doesn't necessarily attract as many pests and bugs as a carpet, these pesky insects still love to hide themselves in any available cracks and chips that they are able to find between the floorboards. A sanded and sealed floor will leave the bugs with nowhere to hide.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Cracked and worn flooring tends to trap more dirt and dust, and once you have sanded down, sealed and polished those floorboards they will be a lot simpler to clean and less inclined to attract dust.

Floor Restoration Bearsden

Wood floors do not always need to be sanded down to bring them back to their former splendour, and floors can of course be made out of materials other than wood. An experienced Bearsden floor restoration specialist will undoubtedly have an in-depth knowledge of the most beneficial techniques for repairing a damaged or worn floor, regardless of whether it is constructed from tiles, wood, stone or concrete.

Floor restoration can involve several different procedures and could require dehumidification, disinfection and decontamination before any actual aesthetic work commences. Dampness can swiftly soak into imperfections and cracks in the flooring, in cases where there has been a leaking water pipe or washing machine, and issues can soon start to present themselves. Standing water that goes stagnant and persists in your flooring can easily stimulate the growth of mould, mildew and bacteria, none of which are acceptable occupants. Without causing any harm to the floor or the residents of the property, expert floor restorers in Bearsden know exactly how to deal with these issues. As with most things in life, prevention is preferable to cure, so to stop these kinds of occurrences from happening from the get go, keep a regular check on pipes and washing machines and keep your floor surfaces as clean as possible.

Wood Floor Maintenance Bearsden

After your floor has been completed, don't just assume that it can be left unattended for year after year without any kind of maintenance. Keep it clean and keep watch for any worn areas. If a patch of a varnished floor wears right through to the bare wood, it can be very hard to repair, consequently an occasional fresh coat of varnish or a couple of coats of acrylic sealant will help it to hold up for longer without having to be re-sanded.
