Floor Sanding Barrow-in-Furness

To have floor sanding carried out properly it is usually advisable to bring in a local Barrow-in-Furness floor sanding company who are experts in this sort of work. With a bit of groundwork you will find that there are several in the Barrow-in-Furness area and other nearby locations. Although you could have a shot at doing your own floor sanding it's not actually a do-it-yourself kind of job, seeing as some quite costly equipment is needed to accomplish it successfully. An approved Barrow-in-Furness floor sanding service will come armed with all the appropriate tools.

In order to get your floors sanded without producing large volumes of wood dust and mess a competent Barrow-in-Furness floor sanding company will bring in some fairly impressive equipment. Contemporary sanding machines are extremely powerful and have an extraction system incorporated to remove all the wood dust as it is produced, meaning the whole process is relatively dust-free. So now you can see why going at it with your modest hand held Black & Decker sander is not really going to cut it.

Obviously, this specialist machinery is available for hire throughout Cumbria, if not in Barrow-in-Furness itself, should you decide to take the do-it-yourself option. It isn't peanuts to rent, so get yourself organised and try to do all the sanding work in one day, to save money. You'll obviously not need to stress about this if you retain the services of a flooring company as they'll provide all this apparatus themselves.

Your Barrow-in-Furness floor sanding specialists will probably ask you to clear out everything from any rooms that are going to be sanded, although they might be willing to assist you with this, if you are unable to do it yourself. Discuss it with them beforehand and see what can be worked out. A clean, clear room is vital when carrying out this sort of work, so get all that stuff out of there! Larger heavy items of furniture could possibly be left in there and moved from end to end, but again talk with the company.

To get the kind of professional finish that you are after it will almost certainly be necessary to do a bit more than just sand down your floorboards and give them a layer of varnish. The chances are that there will be a number of minor blemishes for example screw holes, nail holes, cracks and splits, and there may even be some larger repairs required, where sections of floorboard are damaged or missing. These should all be refurbished to the highest possible level, caulked with colour-matched 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.

Sealing and varnishing your newly sanded floorboards is the last part of the process. This is the time when you can really start to see the changes in your flooring. A coating of an appropriate sealer (such as Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to enhance the beautiful natural colours of the timber, provide a sound base for the varnish, and at the same time offer some further 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.

Seeing that, pretty much the first thing you think about when considering the possibility of refurbishing your floors is all of the dust, hard work and disruption, you might begin to ask yourself whether it is really worth it. Before beginning such a process, it is generally a wise idea to run through the pros and cons, to see which side comes out in front. As soon as you've done this, you'll certainly have a clearer understanding of what you can hope to gain by sanding down your floor or floors. We've already mentioned the cons - sanding floors can involve lots of dust, disruption and hard work. But what about the positives?

• It is Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: As freshly sanded, sealed and polished flooring doesn't attract as much dust, it's going to be far simpler to keep your floor clean in the future.
• Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: If you've already got a timber floor that has been exposed over a period of time, it will most likely be showing the telltale signs of deterioration. The floor sanding and buffing process will restore the appeal and beauty that your flooring previously had.
• Discourages Pests: Even though floorboards don't necessarily harbour as many pests as a carpet, these pests still like to hide in any available splits and cracks that they are able to find between the floorboards. A newly sanded and sealed floor will leave the bugs with very few places to hide.

Barrow-in-Furness Wood Floor Maintenance

It matters not if your floor is in the kitchen in your home, in a bustling office or in a busy restaurant, it still needs to be looked after and given routine maintenance to keep it in good shape and looking beautiful. Precisely how much maintenance is required will be determined by the finish that has been applied to it. Floorboards that are oiled can merely be wiped clean and then given a new coat of oil. Varnished or lacquered floors can be cleaned and given a couple of coats of acrylic sealant, or sanded and given a new coating of varnish or lacquer. And hard wax oiled floors can be cleaned, lightly sanded where they're worn and a new layer of wax put on.
