Floor Sanding Bradninch

Although sanding floors is not something that's impossible for you to carry out on your own, you'll need to be able to get hold of the proper equipment and have confidence in the use of it. If you feel you can, then be my guest, but it might be better to get in contact with a nearby Bradninch floor sanding company, who will show up fully kitted out to do the job properly. If at all possible you should get recommendations from folks that you know who've had floor sanding done in the past.

In order to get your floors sanded without generating huge amounts of mess and wood dust a professional Bradninch floor sanding company will bring in some rather impressive equipment. Contemporary sanding machines are extremely powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to suck up all the wood dust as it is created, meaning the whole process is comparatively dust-free. So now you will understand why going at it with your small Black & Decker hand-held sander isn't really going to cut it for work like this.

Manufacturers like: Pallmann, Bona, Hummer and Lagler produce professional floor sanding machinery, and many of these can obviously be rented from tool hire providers in the Bradninch area, and in other Devon places, should you require one. If you're using a professional floor sanding service for the venture, you will not need to concern yourself with that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Before any actual sanding begins the rooms in question will have to be completely cleared of furniture. Carpeting and related materials will have to be removed, as will any screws and nails that are protruding from the flooring. The sanding device has to be swept around the room, so it is better if there are not any obstacles in the way.

In order to get your newly sanded foor up to the desired standard there will be additional work that needs doing before any finishing or sealing can take place. There could be some cracks and splits in the floor boards and also nail and screw holes, which all need to be filled with an appropriately coloured wood filler. The restored areas will need to be given a final rub down with a fine abrasive to achieve that super smooth finish.

The next job is to give the newly sanded floor a generous coat of sealant, Ronseal or Liberon is usually a good choice. This should provide the perfect base on which to brush the finishing coats of varnish, and offers some valuable extra protection against a variety of issues that might affect your flooring in the future. This will be resistant to water, alcohol and heat, and also help prevent scratching, staining and scuffing. Once dry, your floorboards can then be given a quick final sanding with smooth paper and finally 2 or 3 coats of finishing varnish.

When you are thinking about the process of sanding down your hardwood floorboards, you may start to ask yourself whether it is actually worth all of the disruption, dust and effort. Before commencing such a procedure, it's generally a wise idea to run through the benefits and drawbacks, to see which comes out in front. After you've done this, you will certainly have a clearer picture of what you can achieve by sanding down your wooden flooring. We have already outlined the cons - floor sanding can entail loads of disruption, dust and hard work. But how about the pros?

• Reduces the Number of Bugs: There'll be less places for bugs and pests to hide themselves once you've sanded and sealed your flooring. Let's be honest these pesky insects love to hide in the crevices and cracks of a wooden floor.
• Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: If you've already got a hardwood floor that has been exposed for quite some time, it will likely be showing signs of wear and tear. The sanding and buffing process will bring back the appeal and attractiveness that your flooring previously had.
• It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Cracked and worn floors are inclined to attract more dust and dirt, and when you have sanded down, sealed and polished your floorboards they will be much easier to clean and less likely to attract dust.

Floor Staining

You shouldn't (as many householders in Bradninch do) confuse floor staining with the process of floor finishing, as these two things are completely different. Floor staining is the process by which you alter the colour of the wood to achieve the desired effect, while floor finishing is the application of the final product which protects the floor from damage.

When floor staining, you need to be careful not to apply too much stain. Traditional resin-based stains should be applied in thin coats. Use a stain conditioner to even out the application. It's also a good idea to test a sample panel or rag before applying the stain.

Floor staining is an important element of home refurbishment in Bradninch, and the right colour will make your home look stunning. Dark colours will add contrast and drama to a room, while lighter colours will lighten a room. Dark colours can also hide blemishes. They can cover up large areas of water damage, pet stains, and other issues. If you choose a dark colour, you may want to use pre-colour treatments or other staining solutions that render the stain less conspicuous.

Floor staining is not as simple as you may think. There are a few different variables to consider, including the species of wood. You should only stain the wood when it is in good condition and doesn't have a lot of damage. For instance, a wooden floor which has been exposed to water and has a light amber stain is not likely to need to be stained. If you have any doubts about the process, you should seek specialist assistance.

Floor Restoration

Wood floors do not always have to be sanded down to bring them back to their former glory, and floors can of course be made out of materials other than wood. Although some floor restoration tasks come within the spectrum of DIY, a professional Bradninch floor restoration specialist will invariably have the necessary knowledge to repair floors constructed from a range of materials including wood, concrete, tiles or granite.

In general floor restoration involves a variety of different processes and could require disinfection, decontamination and dehumidification before any real aesthetic work begins. Dampness can rapidly seep into cracks and imperfections in the floor surface, in instances where there has been a dripping water pipe or washing machine, and serious issues can shortly start to emerge. When water persists in your flooring for any significant length of time, mould, bacteria and fungi can easily develop and grow. Without causing any harm to the floor or the residents of the property, expert floor restorers in Bradninch know exactly how to take care of these problems. A good way to prevent such things happening in the first place is to keep your floors squeaky clean and check pipes and washing machines regularly.
