Timber Floor Sanding & Polishing
Most solid timber floors can be sanded and coated to look anew. Our main service provides rejuvenation on a given timber flooring through well-oriented stages of sanding and polishing, finished with layers of coatings.
Timber flooring is indeed very durable and refreshing to reside in. However, it can still wear down and some boards might need to be replaced in case of extreme damage. We can repair most timber floorboards with the same grade and type in however you, please.
Timber Floors & Stairs Flooring
We can install quality timber floors and stairs in any house, including skirting boards. Timber Floors are long-lasting and add great value to the premise, not to mention the luxurious and natural characteristics it presents.
Lime washing is a very specialised and sophisticated method of staining that provides a subtle beauty and modern look to the timber floor. It stands an astonishing figure in houses near a beach and Pair it up with matching furniture, you own the Aussie house of the century.
After fully sanding the timber floor, we can provide staining of any colour deeper than the natural colour of the timber. It will add a rich tone and deluxe texture to the timber floor.
Outdoor timber decking faces a great deal of challenges when withstanding the harsh weather and hence require regular maintenance to stay healthy. You can always apply a new oil on the outside deck yourself, but we can fully sand and give a new coating if the damages are severe.
1. How long before you can walk on sanded floors?
2. How many times can a floor be sanded?
Given the existing level is in good shape, we usually sand 0.5mm ~ 1mm timber off the top of the floor boards and most timber floors have a good 5-7mm top composition above the tongue and groove system. Hence, the maximum number of sanding possible on a newly laid down levelled timber floor would be 5-6 times, although it is always best to enquire sanders to inspect the floor for the possibility and affordability of sanding & polishing beforehand.
3. How do you prepare for floor sanding?
Preparation for floor sanding can be quite tiresome as you would need to remove furniture and cover up your valuables against the dust that sanding machines produce. Just keep in mind that no one can walk on the floor during the fine sanding process and polishing stage, and a further 3-4 days of drying time afterwards. It’s always a good idea to make a list of things that you would need for a few days which you would have no access to the floors. Sometimes, there can be timber boards which require repairs prior to the sanding but this will be detailed out at the time of inspection for the quote.
4. How do I know if my floor can be sanded?
Laminated floors and hybrid floors cannot be sanded. However, engineered boards and solid timbers can be sanded. Floating floors such as bamboo and pre-finished timber are most likely able to be sanded. Please take a good photo and send it to our team and we are happy to let you know the sandability of the timber floor you have!
5. How often do wood floors need refinishing?
Refinishing – applying another final finish of the same coating over the existing timber floor in order to rejuvenate the look and cover up minor scratches – are generally not recommended to start with. You might still end up with some scratches and cope up with the chances of rejection. Refinishing is highly recommended for wax-based coatings only. The process of refinishing is a simple but thorough polishing using a buffing machine and a clean-up before one layer of the same finish.
However if you look to give a full sanding and a new set of coatings then roughly,
5 years – if you wear work boots/high heels often inside the house
10 years – if you mostly wear soft shoes/always keep the floor dry
15 years – if you only wear indoor soft shoes/always maintain the floor using adequate floor cleaning products/keep pets with claws away
20+ years – if you only wear socks or no shoes indoors/always clean the floor using special floor cleaning products recommended by the professionals/keep the timber away from UV lights and pets with claws
6. Should I refinish my own floors?
In case of exterior decking, it is highly recommended that you refinish the deck using the same finish. Leave the hard and tedious sanding process to the sanders and save money by applying the coatings yourself. However, refinishing interior timber floors can be more difficult because they often require a thorough buffing before a coating can be applied. Don’t worry if you mess up though, we can always fully sand the floor for you when it comes down to the worst.
