Timber Floor Sanding
Having timber flooring in your home is a great asset for your property. Not only does it add value and character to your home, but it gives you a natural look and cosy feeling too. Floor Enhancers will expertly prepare and sand your timber floor to bring out its best qualities.
Floor Sanding Process
Sanding a timber floor correctly is quite an involved process. An optimal result requires specialist machinery and an experienced operator.
- Before work begins the floor area should be cleared (all furniture removed). Skirting board typically also needs to be removed to ensure these are not damaged by heavy sanding machinery.
- With existing timber floors we then remove or punch down adhesives, old nails, carpet underlay and staples, making repairs or replacements of boards as required.
- Once preparation is complete the main floor area will receive a drum or belt sand with coarse grit sand paper to help level out the floor. Around the edges a perimeter sand is performed.
- Once sanded the timber floors are then thoroughly vacuumed, removing all remnants of dust particles so they can then be quickly sealed - before any further dust contamination has a chance to enter from other parts of the house.
Timber Floor Repairs
It can sometimes be difficult to fill larger cracks in timber floor boards as wood tends to expand or shrink over time. The Floor Enhancers team can check your floor boards prior to sanding to see if any cracks/scratches can be repaired or whether the floor boards affected will need to be replaced.
