Chudleigh Floor Sanding Specialists

Sanding a wooden floor involves carefully taking away a fine layer of material from the exposed surface of the timber by means of professional sanding equipment. Worn protective coatings will be sanded off during the sanding process, along with many of the marks left by everyday use. Not every mark will necessarily disappear, depending on the depth of the damage. A floor with plenty of usable timber remaining might be suitable for more extensive sanding, whereas flooring with limited timber remaining could need a lighter approach. How worn the boards are also needs to be considered. A fairly gentle sanding could deal with the surface wear on some floors, but others need more attention. In properties around Chudleigh, the work could include sanding the floor several times with progressively finer abrasives to achieve an even finish.

Before arranging a floor sanding service, it is worthwhile to establish whether the existing flooring is suitable, as not every wooden floor can be sanded. One benefit of having solid wood flooring is that the boards can usually be sanded repeatedly during its lifetime, provided sufficient thickness remains. The main difference with engineered wood flooring is that the surface layer of natural wood can be thinner than you might expect. This means the possibilities for sanding may be limited. A professional floor sanding company covering the Chudleigh area should be able to inspect the existing floor & explain whether sanding is suitable or if a different approach would be better.

Making sure the floor is ready to be sanded can mean dealing with a few things beforehand. The sanding machines can't necessarily be brought in immediately. Before the sanding equipment can be put to work, any furniture in the room needs to be moved, loose floorboards may need fixing down, and protruding nails must be dealt with to avoid damaging the machines. You may want to keep some of the gaps in your wooden floor, while filling may be appropriate in other situations. What's appropriate is influenced by the sort of flooring and how you'd like the floor to look. If you are getting timber flooring sanded in Chudleigh, it's important to plan around the work. Access to the room could be restricted until the work is completed.

One concern when arranging floor sanding is how much dust the work might create. A benefit of many professional sanding machines is the use of integrated dust collection equipment. The dust collectors often remove the vast majority of the dust while the floor is being worked on. Even with modern extraction equipment, a certain amount of dust may still be produced. The amount of dust spreading around the room is often much lower than with older machines. Even when professional dust extraction is being used, it's worth protecting belongings in nearby rooms. Keeping doors closed where practical can reduce the amount of dust travelling through the house. Dust control is something worth discussing when taking to a flooring specialist serving Chudleigh. An experienced specialist can usually tell you how they intend to control the dust.

Once the sanding is complete, the exposed wood will generally need a protective finish. Some people choose lacquer, whereas others choose hardwax oil. Either may be suitable, but they may need looking after differently. The look you are after may be close to the original wood colour, whereas other homeowners may choose something more traditional. Not every wooden floor is suitable for staining, but it can be an option for suitable wood. Some finishes will need more looking after than others. If you are arranging to have a timber floor finished in Chudleigh, you should take into account the sort of wood involved, the amount of everyday use the floor receives & how much upkeep you are prepared to do.

Floors in separate properties won't necessarily cost the same to sand. What needs doing might vary considerably. Even a relatively small room may cost more than expected where there is damage to deal with. As well as the floor area, the state of the boards & the kind of finish can affect the quotation. A floor with several hard-to-reach areas might need additional attention from the contractor. Dealing with awkward areas by hand adds to the work involved, and may affect the price. A price that first off seems fairly low will probably not cover all the work that needs doing. If you are arranging floor sanding in Chudleigh, it is a good idea to request a full written breakdown, covering the preparation, sanding & finishing stages.

Existing timber flooring can look considerably better following a proper sanding and finishing treatment. The newly finished surface will generally be easier to keep clean. After the new finish has been applied, a few simple habits can reduce the amount of wear that it receives. Regular sweeping, suitable products for the finish & protective pads under furniture can all help to prevent avoidable wear. Drying & curing aren't always the same thing. Because of this, you should check with the flooring specialist before returning the room to normal use. If the timber flooring in your home has started to look worn, replacement isn't always the only option. For people living in Chudleigh, having the existing boards sanded could be an option rather than immediately buying a new floor.
