If
you are one of the few fortunate people who have timber floors installed you
must get a lot of compliments on how great it looks and how with age its
appearance gets even more elegant. While they may see something elegant let us
say a decade has passed, you on the other hand may see it being rough and
untidy. While you may think of getting the floor replaced to keep your
reputation intact there is however a cheaper alternative present. If in
Northern Beaches timber floor sanding & polishing can be done at an
affordable rate.
The
solution that sanding presents is a quite simple one. You rub the wood floor
with sandpaper removing the top few layers and exposing the fresh new wood. The
fresh new wood is then polished or stained if you want to change the colour of
your floor. If you do not want to stain it, you can have it polished but if you
want it stained, you must polish after the staining process is complete. The
whole of this process takes about three to four days maximum. Some service
providers may even claim that this can be done in a single day but you
definitely want to be wary of them. Standard sanding and polishing takes about
24-48 hours but if you want to keep your floor in pristine condition and do not
want the somewhat wet polish to mar, it will be best if the polished floor is
left unattended for 2-3 extra days. It is an extreme measure and we are aware
of that but if it is ruined in any way then you will be stuck with an improper
polishing for the rest of your wood floor’s life until you decide to sand it
again. However, It is always advisable to be safe than sorry.
When
you go for a sanding job, it provides more function and benefits than merely
just improving the appearance of your floor. A refurbished floor can add a lot
of value to your property. If you are someone who is considering selling their
property, you might also want to make a few adjustments to the properties and a
few renovations here and there so you can get the price in the market.
A piece of information that people do not know generally is that sanding can
improve the lighting in the room. Over the years a wood floor gets darkened.
Dark surfaces have a hard time reflecting light so even when there is a lot of
light above, because of the floor, the room might look dreary and foreboding.
After sanding if you do not stain your floor, the light coloured wood and the
polish collectively can make your room much brighter than before. The light
coming in from the windows and the ceiling, when it will hit the light surface
which is also polished, it will reflect back on the walls and on the room in
general, lighting it up very naturally.
While
you may think of embarking on this project alone and DIY-ing it, it might not
be the best idea. Professionals take about a maximum for 3 days to complete a
sanding and polishing job with their professional equipment, experience and
skill. You on the other hand might be a layman and might not even have the
equipment. This will then probably take you a significant amount of time in
completing the job, maybe even weeks. In Northern Beaches timber floor sanding
& polishing is at an all-time high so you might even get a very good discount
since there are quite a few number of competitors.
