Floor Sanding Garforth

Although floor sanding isn't a job which is impossible for you to undertake on your own, you will need to be in a position to get access to the proper equipment and be confident in using it. If you feel you can, then you should have a go, but it might be better to get in touch with a nearby floor sanding company in Garforth, who will arrive fully kitted out to tackle the job properly. When possible you should get recommendations from folks that you know who've had floor sanding carried out previously.

You may be worried about a great deal of wood dust being produced during the floor sanding procedure, but this shouldn't be at all the case if you opt to employ a professional Garforth floor sanding service. They'll use specialist floor sanding machines which include potent extraction systems, effortlessly sucking up any wood dust that is produced and storing it until it can be properly disposed of. If you went at it with your own little electric sander you'll soon fill your house with dust and get yourself in an awful mess. The result will also not be so good.

Manufacturers like: Bona, Hummer, Lagler and Pallmann produce professional floor sanding machinery, and most of these can obviously be hired from tool hire providers in the Garforth area, and elsewhere in West Yorkshire, if you require one. If you are using a professional floor sanding company for your project, you won't need to be worried about that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Though it may not always be necessary, you should really completely clear any of your rooms that need to be sanded. The sanding machinery is pretty cumbersome and whoever is performing the work will need to have enough space to manoeuvre it around. A clean, clear room will certainly make the entire process easier, so if you are able to do this, so much the better.

To end up with a beautifully smooth and damage-free floor surface, some additional renovation work might have to be carried out. The entire floor will have to be checked over with a fine tooth comb to identify any splits, defects and cracks, which can then be repaired and filled with a colour-matched wood filler. The same attention can be given to holes left behind by screws and nails and any damage that has been caused by the removal of threshold strips and carpet grippers. The wood filler needs to be matched at closely as possible to the colour of the wood.

The next job is to give the newly sanded flooring a goodly coat of sealant, Ronseal or Liberon is usually a good choice. This should provide a perfect base on which to apply the finishing varnish coats, and gives some extra protection against a variety of issues which could have an impact on your floor in the future. This sealant coat will offer resistance to heat, water and alcohol, 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.

There's no doubt that there's a certain amount of disruption, effort and dust involved with refurbishing your flooring. And you might begin to ask yourself whether the benefits are actually worth all of that trouble. If you're having doubts about whether you wish to put yourself through all of this hassle, it might be a good ideas to look at the benefits and drawbacks of the floor sanding procedure. The downsides have already been mentioned (hard work, disruption and dust), so let's take a look at the pros, or in short - the benefits.

• Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: If you already have a timber floor that's been exposed over a period of time, it will probably be showing signs of deterioration. The sanding and buffing process will bring back the appeal and attractiveness that your floor had previously.
• Discourages Bugs and Pests: Bugs and pests adore the cracks and crevices that are found in a worn and unpolished floor. Once it has been sanded and polished, there'll be less crannies where these pests can hide.
• It is Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Cracked and worn flooring is inclined to attract more dust and dirt, and after you've sanded down, sealed and polished your floorboards they will be far simpler to clean and less likely to attract dust.

Garforth Wood Floor Maintenance

It makes no difference if your floor is in a lively pub, in a bedroom in your house or in a bustling office, it still has to be cared for and given routine maintenance to keep it in good condition and looking beautiful. Exactly how much maintenance it needs will depend somewhat on the finish that has been applied to it. Flooring that is oiled can simply be cleaned and given a new coat of oil. Varnished or lacquered floors can be cleaned up and given a couple of coats of acrylic sealant, or sanded and given a fresh coating of varnish or lacquer. Hard wax oiled floors can be cleaned, delicately sanded where they've become worn and a new layer of wax applied.
