Floor Sanding Caistor

If you do elect to go ahead and get your wooden floorboards sanded down you will need to find the best tradespeople to accomplish it. A brief search on the web or in the local Caistor classifieds section will turn up several prospects. Conversely, you could just ask family or friends to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding on your own is probably not advisable unless of course you're an accomplished DIYer, and even if you are you will have to hire some pretty hefty equipment which could be expensive.

Your first concern will probably be that this is gonna generate an awful lot of dust and mess, but that is actually not the case. Your floor sanding company will not be making use of small hand held orbital sanders such as those that you might have purchased for sanding down a door or some paintwork. They will show up with some fairly hefty equipment which will include a powerful extraction system which sucks up all the dust as the sanding progresses.

The best sanding machines are manufactured by companies like: Lagler, Bona, Pallmann and Hummer, and many of these are offered for hire in places around Lincolnshire, if you can't track down any in Caistor itself. Obviously, you'll only need to do this if you do opt to press ahead with your own floor sanding project, since professional companies will bring their own sanders. Check with the hire company to ascertain precisely what you need and move forward from there if you take this option.

Although it might not always be necessary, you should completely clear any of your rooms which have to be sanded. The sanding machinery is rather cumbersome and whoever is carrying out the work will need to have enough space to manoeuvre it around. A clear, clean room is going to make the entire process easier, so if you are able to do this, so much the better.

After the sanding down has been completed your floor may require a few repairs and general sprucing up. Any obvious nail or screw holes can be filled with a suitable wood filler and given a final rub down with fine grade sandpaper. Splits and cracks can also be afforded the same treatment. If there are any lumps of wood missing these can be meticulously repaired, filled and given a rub down.

The sealing and varnishing of your newly sanded floorboards is the final part of the process. This is the point when you really notice the difference in your flooring. A coat of a suitable sealant (for example Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to emphasise the beautiful natural shades of the timber, provide a sound base for the varnish, and at the same time offer some added 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.

There is no doubt that there is a certain degree of dust, hard work and disruption involved with refurbishing your flooring. And you may start to ask yourself whether the benefits are actually worth all that trouble. Before beginning such a process, it is always a good idea to go over the positives and negatives, to see which side comes out on top. After you've done this, you'll have a better insight of what you can gain by sanding down your floors or floor. The downsides have already been touched on (disruption, effort and dust), so let's have a look at the advantages, or in other words - the benefits.

• Makes Your Floor Look New Again: If you've already got a wooden floor that has been exposed and used for quite some time, it will most likely be showing signs of deterioration. The sanding and buffing process will restore the appeal and beauty that your floor previously had.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Cracked and worn floors are inclined to attract more dust and dirt, and after you have sanded, sealed and buffed-up those floorboards they are going to much easier to clean and less likely to harbour dust.
• Reduces the Number of Bugs and Pests: While floorboards don't necessarily attract as many pests and bugs as carpeting, these pesky insects still like to hide away in any accessible splits and cracks that they can find between the floorboards. A newly sanded and sealed floor will leave the pests with nowhere to hide.

Floor Staining Caistor

When your floorboards have been sanded to the required standard you might wish to stain it to achieve the effect you're looking for.

Before applying stain to the floor, you should test it in an out-of-sight spot. Although the final result won't be exactly the same, a test stain can show you the required adjustments. Also, ensure that you apply the stain evenly across the floor surface. Avoid overlapping areas, since the stain will be darker if there's any overlap.

After applying the stain, you must allow it to dry completely. This can take a full 72 hours, depending on the humidity and temperature. If the temperature is not consistent, or the humidity is too high, the stain may not dry as quickly as anticipated. It might even need 7 days before the final coat can be applied.

Different timber species react to different stains differently. White oak, for example, can take a grey stain without showing too much yellow or red. In contrast, red oak, which has a more tightly-grained wood structure, requires a much darker grey stain. Also, make certain that you use a stain controller, which helps the stain absorb into the wood pores uniformly.

If the floor is made of rare or exotic wood, you may not need to stain it. These types of wood already look stunning in their natural colours. Many home owners in Caistor choose to stain these floors to imitate the look of these floors. However, it is best to consider whether you really need to stain the floor or not.

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 if it is in good condition and hasn't got a lot of damage. For instance, a timber floor which has been exposed to water and has a light amber stain isn't likely to need to be stained. If you've got any doubts about this procedure, you should seek professional help - a floor sanding specialist in Caistor will have all the necessary experience.
