The Basic Information About Wood Floor Refinishing

By Jaclyn Hurley


Floors made of wood always look classy and they are quite expensive. They are also the most beautiful and they make interior decoration so much easier and fun. They will normally be there when you buy your house but then you will have to make them look more polished. This process is called wood floor refinishing and you might need to do it every now and then to keep it beautiful.

Most people have carpets to cover and protect their flooring from dirt. This is one way of keeping it polished. It is important to ensure that water does not get its way to the carpet. If it gets soaked, you should remove it and dry it completely before returning it. This will ensure longevity.

You need to re-polish it regularly because if left unattended you may end up having an ugly ground. One way of knowing if it is damaged is that you will see marks all over and you need immediate polishing. Having a repaired one will make it more long lasting and attractive to your eyes.

To refinish, you will first need to examine the extent of the damage to the floor. If the scratches are just superficial and they have not penetrated the wood, you do not need to sandpaper it entirely. You can take a buffer and use it to scuff-sand your surface so that it gets smoother. After doing this, then you can take a vacuum cleaner and use it to get rid of the dust that will come out of this process.

If you are sure that the floor is spotless then you can apply your polish. You can coat once or twice if the flaws are not so visible. If you do not have experience with the finishing, it is good to contract the service providers.

If you are busy and want to save time, you can opt to use polyurethanes with water, this is because they dry quickly and you can apply the number of layers you want. For the ones who want to make some saving on money, there are oil base one can use especially if you want to cover a larger area. Choosing the type of coat to apply depends on you.

Of course if your flooring is deeply scratched, then there will need to be an intricate process of sandpapering and applying the finish that you cannot do on your own. You will need help because the timber will have to be treated with care so that it remains smooth and lovely to look at. This is done by sanding along the grain in order to ensure you do not damage the timber texture.

Refinishing a wood floor is not an easy task. Leave it to the professionally qualified Cave City, AR contractors who will give you the best outcome. After they have done the repair, make sure you maintain it in good condition always. You can do its cleaning routinely. Ensure you buy a small handheld vacuum which will not drag and scratch the ground. Avoid its contact with water as much as you can.
