Why Choose Floor Restoration?
Floor restoration is essential for maintaining and rejuvenating your timber floors. This process repairs damage, removes imperfections, and applies a protective finish, restoring the beauty and durability of your floors. Whether you have scratches, stains, or wear from heavy foot traffic, our floor restoration services can help.
Our Floor Restoration Process
1. Inspection and Assessment
The process begins with a thorough inspection of the timber floors. Our experienced team identifies areas needing repair, such as scratches, dents, stains, and structural damage. We assess the overall condition of the floor to determine the best restoration approach.
2. Repair and Preparation
Before sanding, we address any necessary repairs. This can include filling gaps, fixing loose boards, and repairing damaged sections. Proper preparation is crucial to ensure a smooth and even surface for sanding.
3. Sanding
Sanding is a critical step in the restoration process. We use state-of-the-art, dust-free sanding equipment to remove the old finish, scratches, and imperfections. This creates a smooth, fresh surface ready for finishing. Sanding may involve multiple passes with different grits of sandpaper to achieve the desired smoothness.
4. Staining (Optional)
If you desire a different color or tone for your timber floors, we apply a high-quality stain after sanding. Staining can enhance the natural grain of the wood and provide a uniform appearance. We offer a variety of stain colors to match your preferences.
5. Finishing
After sanding (and staining, if applicable), we apply a protective finish to the floors. We offer several types of finishes, including:
- Oil-Based Finish: Provides a rich, warm tone and is highly durable.
- Water-Based Finish: Eco-friendly with low VOCs, it dries quickly and offers a clear, natural look.
- Polyurethane Finish: Extremely durable and available in different sheens, it offers strong protection against wear and tear.
6. Drying and Curing
The finish needs adequate time to dry and cure. This can vary depending on the type of finish used. Typically, you should avoid walking on the floors for 24 hours, and allow up to 72 hours for full curing. Proper drying and curing ensure the durability and longevity of the finish.
7. Final Inspection and Touch-Ups
Once the finish is fully cured, we conduct a final inspection to ensure the highest quality results. Any necessary touch-ups are performed to address minor imperfections and ensure a flawless finish.
8. Maintenance Advice
We provide you with maintenance tips to keep your restored timber floors looking beautiful for years. Regular cleaning, proper care, and periodic re-coating can extend the life and appearance of your floors.
