Floor Sanding Penarth

If you do elect to go ahead and get your wooden floors sanded down you will have to find the right people to do it. A swift search on the internet or in the local Penarth newspaper will throw up several possibilities. Alternatively, you could ask family or friends to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding yourself is perhaps not an option unless you're an accomplished DIYer, and even if you are you'll need to hire some pretty hefty equipment which could be costly.

Hiring a professional floor sanding company in Penarth will mean that the job will be done properly and with as little mess and dust as possible. If you used your own little hand-held sanding device you would soon get dust all over the house and it could take months to get rid of. When using professional sanding equipment all of the dust is sucked up by a powerful extraction system, leaving only a perfectly smooth wooden surface that can then be finished appropriately.

Of course it isn't just the pros who have access to the best floor sanders, and you could easily hire the required equipment if you're really serious about tackling the work by yourself. Some of the most recognized makes of sanding machines include: Lagler, Pallmann, Bona and Hummer. You're going to require a drum sander and an edging sander, plus some associated equipment, and rather than going into all the details in this article you can ask at the hire shop and they'll provide you with the stuff you need.

Before any sanding work begins the relevant rooms will have to be totally clear of furniture and furnishings. Carpeting and related flooring will have to be removed, as will any screws and nails which are protruding from the floor. The sanding appliance has to be swept around the room, therefore it is better if there aren't any obstacles in the way.

When the sanding has been finished your flooring might need some minor repairs and general tidying up. Obvious nail and screw holes can be filled with an appropriate colour-matched wood filler and given a final rub down with fine grade glasspaper. Splits and cracks can also be afforded a similar treatment. Should there be any lumps of timber missing these can be diligently repaired, filled and sandpapered.

The last step of this process is going to be finishing and sealing your floor. Nowadays not everyone uses sealant on hardwood floors since the contemporary varnishes are alleged to accomplish the task of finishing and sealing your newly sanded wood surface. Our opinion is that it's better to give your flooring a coat of sealant first, as this emphasises the natural colour of the timber, offers additional protection against staining and scratching, and gives a perfect base for the final varnish coating. For varnishing use a good quality polyurethane product such as Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish and give it two or three coats.

When you're thinking about the possibility of refurbishing your hardwood flooring, you may begin to wonder whether it is actually worth all of the dust, disruption and effort. If you find you are having second thoughts about having this done, it might be advisable to go over the positives and negatives of the floor sanding process, to see if that influences you one way or another. We've already pointed out the cons - sanding floors can entail loads of effort, dust and disruption. But what about the advantages?

• Reduce the Number of Bugs and Pests in Your Home: Even though wooden flooring doesn't necessarily harbour as many pests as carpeting, these pesky insects still tend to hide away in any accessible splits and cracks that they can find between the floorboards. A newly sanded and sealed floor should leave the bugs with nowhere to hide.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Seeing that newly sanded, sealed and buffed-up floorboards don't trap as much dust and dirt, it will be a lot simpler to keep your floor clean in the future.
• Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: If you already have a timber floor that's been exposed for quite some time, it will most likely be showing signs of deterioration. The sanding and polishing process will restore the beauty and appeal that your flooring previously had.

Maintenance of Wood Floors

Routine maintenance of your wooden flooring is vital if it's to last for many years without the need for re-sanding it back to the bare wood and beginning the whole procedure over again. Keep your eyes open for worn or scuffed patches, relocate furniture to balance out wear and tear, and keep the whole thing clean. Clean, delicately sand, and re-treat worn spots with more varnish or acrylic seal to make it last much longer.
