Taunton Floor Finishing and Restoration

Taunton Floor Sanding (TA1): If you are tired of having carpets in your home in Taunton, and would prefer to have a low maintenance floor that is easy to clean and does not gather allergens and dust, perhaps a hardwood floor surface could be the solution. If you already have wooden floor boards under that dusty old carpeting you're already halfway there. You could get this flooring professionally sanded down and finish up with a practical and beautiful floor surface that's going to be the envy or your friends.

If you do choose to go ahead and get your wooden floorboards sanded down you'll need to find the best people to do it. A brief search online or in the local Taunton newspaper will turn up several prospects. Conversely, you could just ask family or friends to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding yourself is perhaps not an option unless of course you are a really accomplished do-it-yourselfer, and even then you'll need to hire some pretty decent equipment which could be costly.

Your initial thought will likely be that this process is going to generate a great deal of dust and mess, but that's no necessarily the truth. Your floor sanding company will not be using little hand held sanders like those you may have employed for sanding down some paintwork or a door. They'll turn up with some rather hefty equipment which includes an extraction system that sucks up all the dust particles as the sanding progresses.

Companies like: Bona, Pallmann, Hummer and Lagler make professional floor sanding equipment, and most of these can be rented from tool hire providers in the Taunton area, and in other Somerset places, if you require one. If you're using a professional floor sanding company for the assignment, you'll not need to concern yourself with that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Whilst you could maybe move furniture to one side while conducting the sanding, it is a lot better if the room is completely cleared. This should include soft furnishings and furniture, as well as any existing floor coverings like carpeting, grippers and underlay. Screws or nails that are protruding from the floorboards will also have to be taken out or punched back in below the floor surface.

To achieve the sort of professional finish that you are seeking it will probably be necessary to do more than just sand down your floorboards and give them a layer of varnish. The chances are there will be a number of minor flaws like nail holes, screw holes, splits and cracks, and there could even be some larger repairs required, where pieces of floorboard are damaged or missing. These should all be repaired to the best possible standard, filled with wood filler and then given a final sanding down. Any wood filler used should match the colour of the floorboards, test an area before the final filling.

The sealing and varnishing of your freshly sanded flooring is the final step in the procedure. This is the point when you will really start to appreciate the changes in your flooring. A layer of an appropriate sealer (such as Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to accentuate the beautiful natural colours of the timber, provide the varnish with a sound base, and at the same time offer some added protection against potential damage. Two or three coats of a top quality varnish should then be applied, giving plenty of time for dying between coats.

When you are looking at the possibility of sanding down your timber floorboards, you may begin to wonder whether it's actually worth all of the disruption, dust and effort. Before starting such a procedure, it's perhaps a good idea to go over the pros and cons, to see which side comes out in front. As soon as you've done this, you will have a clearer picture of what you will gain by sanding your wooden floors or floor. The cons have already been covered (disruption, dust and effort), so let's look at the positives, or in other words - the benefits.

  • Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: With a previously exposed and used wooden floor it is likely to show a few signs of wear in time and the sanding and finishing procedure will return it to its former glory.
  • Polished Floors Are Easier to Keep Clean: Once a wooden floor has been sanded, sealed and polished it is going to be a lot simpler to keep clean as all the cracks and crevices will have been removed or filled and your newly finished surface won't attract as much dust and dirt.
  • Reduce the Number of Bugs and Pests in Your Home: Pests and bugs really like the splits and crevices that can be found in a tired and unpolished floor. When it's been sanded and polished, there are going to be less crannies where these pests can hide.

Floor Staining Taunton

You should not confuse floor staining with the process of floor finishing, as these are two completely different things. Floor staining is the process by which you change the colour of the floor surface to achieve the required effect, while floor finishing involves applying the final product which seals and protects the floor from damage.

Before applying stain to the floor, you should test it in an inconspicuous spot. Although the final result will not be exactly the same, a test stain can show you the required adjustments. Also, make sure that you apply the stain evenly across the floor. Avoid overlapping areas, since the stain will be darker if there's any overlap.

Floor Staining Taunton

Different timber species react differently to different stains. White oak, for instance, can take a grey stain without showing too much yellow or red. Conversely, 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 soak into the wood pores uniformly.

Petroleum-based floor stains contain a solvent similar to motor oil. This substance soaks into the wood and leaves a deep colour. This kind of floor stain is durable and looks natural. In some cases, you might need to re-oil it to give it a deeper hue. If you have any doubts about this process, you should seek professional help - a floor sanding specialist in Taunton will have all the necessary experience.
