Rosyth Floor Finishing and Restoration

Rosyth Floor Sanding (KY11): If you have wooden flooring in your home in Rosyth, you may be wondering about getting them sanded down and using them as the final floor surface, therefore replacing your current carpets with an attractive and hard wearing floor, free from allergens, mites and dust. This is possible with both soft and hardwood flooring and might even give a boost to the value of your home.

Floor sanding isn't for the faint of heart and if you choose to press ahead you will need to be ready for quite a bit of upheaval. You could control this to some degree if you elect to do it yourself but not that many property owners in Rosyth have the skill or experience to undertake such a project. Local Rosyth floor sanding companies will probably be your likely port of call and if you can't locate a good one close by, there are others throughout Scotland who will be able to assist you.

Floor Sanding Rosyth Scotland (KY11)

Hiring a professional floor sanding company in Rosyth should mean that the job is done properly and with the minimum amount of dust and mess as possible. If you were to use your own hand-held sanding machine you would get dust all over the house and it could take months to get rid of. With specialist sanding equipment all of the dust is drawn up by an efficient extraction system, leaving just a perfectly smooth wooden surface which can then be appropriately finished.

Companies such as: Bona, Hummer, Pallmann and Lagler make professional floor sanding systems, and many of these can obviously be rented from tool hire businesses in the Rosyth area, and elsewhere in Scotland, should you need one. If you are using a professional floor sanding service for your 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.

Floor Polishing Rosyth (Dialling code	01383)

Your chosen Rosyth floor sanding contractors will likely ask you to clear all furniture from the rooms that are going to be sanded, although they might be willing to assist you with this, if you are unable to do it on your own. Speak to them about it beforehand and see what can be agreed. A clean, clear room is essential when engaging in this sort of work, so get all that stuff out! Larger heavy items of furniture could possibly be left in there and moved from end to end, but again talk with the company.

Once the sanding has been completed your flooring might require some minor repairs and basic sprucing up. Bigger nail or screw holes can be filled with a good wood filler and when dry given a final rub down with fine grade sandpaper. Cracks and splits should also be given the same treatment. If you notice any lumps of wood missing or broken these can be meticulously filled, repaired and also given a rub down.

The sealing and varnishing of your freshly sanded floorboards is the last part of the process. This is the time when you will really start to appreciate the changes in your flooring. A coat of a suitable sealant (such as Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to accentuate the beautiful natural colours of the wood, provide the varnish with a sound base, and at the same time offer some additional protection against various kinds of damage. Two or three coats of a top quality varnish should then be applied, giving plenty of time for dying between coats.

Seeing that, the first thing you think about when looking at the possibility of refurbishing your floors is all of the dust, effort and disruption, you may begin to ask yourself whether it is really worth it. If you find you are having doubts about having this done, it may be advisable to look at the advantages and drawbacks of the floor sanding process, to see if this influences you one way or another. The negatives have already been touched on (hard work, dust and disruption), so let's have a look at the positives, or in other words - the benefits.

  • Discourages Pests: Bugs and pests really like the crevices and splits that can be found in a tired and unpolished floor. When it's been sanded and sealed, there are going to be far less crannies where these pests can hide.
  • Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: If you have already got a timber floor that has been exposed over a period of time, it will probably be showing the telltale signs of deterioration. The sanding and polishing process will restore the beauty and appeal that your flooring previously had.
  • It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Cracked and worn floorboards are inclined to attract more dust, and as soon as you've sanded down, sealed and polished your floorboards they will be far easier to clean and less inclined to harbour dust.

When your flooring has been finished, you shouldn't just assume that it can be left for years and years without any kind of routine maintenance. Keep it well cleaned and stay alert for any worn or scuffed patches. If an area of a varnished floor wears right through to the bare wood, it can be very difficult to repair, therefore an occasional coat of fresh varnish or one or two coats of acrylic sealer will help it to last for longer without having to be re-sanded.

Floor Restoration Rosyth

Obviously, not all floors in Rosyth are made out of wood, and wooden floors don't always need to be sanded down to bring them back to their former splendour. So as to have your flooring successfully restored, whether it's made out of concrete, marble, wood or tiles, it would be wise to seek the advice and expertise of a competent Rosyth floor restoration specialist, who'll have the experience and knowledge of all of these materials.

Mould, bacteria and fungi can build up when water persists in your flooring for any significant length of time. It is essential that these issues are addressed without causing any extra harm to the flooring or the residents of the property, and skilled floor restorers in Rosyth will know precisely how to do this. As with most things in life, prevention is better than cure, so to stop these sorts of occurrences from happening from the get go, keep a regular eye on pipes and washing machines and keep your floors as clean as possible.

Floor Staining Rosyth

When floor staining, you need to be careful not to apply too much stain. Traditional resin-based stains should be applied in thin coats. Use a stain conditioner to even out the application. It's also a good idea to test a sample panel or rag before applying the stain.

Floor Staining Rosyth

After applying the stain, you must let it dry completely. This can take a full seventy two hours, depending on the humidity and temperature. If the temperature isn't consistent, or the humidity is too high, the stain may not dry as quickly as anticipated. It might even need 7 days before the final coat can be applied.

Different wood species react differently to different stains. White oak, for instance, can take a grey stain without showing too much red or yellow. In contrast, red oak, which has a more tightly-grained wood structure, demands a much darker grey stain. Also, ensure that you use a stain controller, which helps the stain absorb into the wood pores more consistently.

If the floor is made of rare or exotic wood, you may not need to stain it. These types of wood already look stunning in their natural colours. Many home owners in Rosyth choose to stain these floors to imitate the look of these floors. However, it is best to consider whether you really need to stain the floor or not.

Petroleum-based floor stains contain a solvent similar to motor oil. This substance sinks into the wood and leaves a deep colour. This kind of floor stain looks natural and is more durable. In some instances, you might need to re-oil it to give it a deeper tone. If you've got any doubts about this process, you should seek expert help - a floor sanding specialist in Rosyth will have all the necessary tools and experience.
