Do You Have a Question?

• Can bamboo flooring be sanded & refinished?

  Generally speaking bamboo flooring is possible to sand and varnish. However, we would always aim to do a free site survey before we can advice on the state of your particular flooring and its potential for restoration. Because restoration of bamboo flooring require a fair bit of sanding skills and knowledge, we would always recommend the use of a professional floor sanding company like FloorWorks instead of DIY to ensure best results.

• How many times I can restore my engineered wood floors?

  Hi Richard,

  There are 3 standards of thickness in engineered wood flooring - 20 mm, 18 mm and 14/15 mm. Each of those will have different thickness of top layer (oak, walnut, beech, maple, etc), which will vary between 3 mm and 6 mm.

  Every time engineered wood floors are sanded approx. 1 mm will be removed by the restoration itself, however another 1 mm should be allowed for difference factory defect difference and the level of the floor throughout.

  So, technically - 3 mm top layered floor can be sanded only once and a 6 mm top layer, should be able to achive 3 or even 4 restorations.

• What can go wrong with DIY floor sanding?

  Hi,

  Doing floor restoration yourself might be a tricky thing to do unless you have some sanding experience and knowledge. Floor sanding requires particular skills which can only be obtained through experience. Therefore, we always recommend leaving the sanding of your parquet flooring to the experts like FloorWorks, who are experienced in sanding different types of flooring nad have the skills to avoid costy mistakes.

  However, if you are certain that you want to give it a try, make sure that you do some research about parquet floor sanding. One particular thing that you need to be aware of is the technique of proper allication of the wood floor finish. Once floors are sanded to a smooth finish, carefully apply the first coat of varnish, allowing sufficient time for it to dry before the next application of the following coat. Sometimes, when when the floor surface was not perfectly smooth and clean before the application of varnish or in cases where the existing sealant has not been entirely removed, blobs can appear after the sanding. This might be a very expensive thing to ractify as it would require an entire re-sanding and re-varnishing of the floors. Bear in mind that if your parquet flooring has already been sanded in the past, there might be a limited opportunity to re-sand agai, which may mean that an overall replacement of the flooring might be required.

  Therefore, it is always recommended to leave the parquet floor sanding to a professional sanding company like {{ organisation:name }}.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How many coats of oil are included in your service?

  Our standard sanding and oiling service includes 2 coats of clear hardwax-oil or 1 coat of colour oil, followed by 1 coat of clear oil. Occasionally we can increase the number of coats depending on the timber species we are sealing.

  Extra coat of hardwax-oil is also available on request.

• Is gap filling covered by your Service Guarantee?

  Gap filling with saw-dust and rasin filler on floorboards is exempt from our Service Guarantee.

  While working on the surface of your floors during floorboards sanding / repairs we endeavour to make every effort to increase its solidness, before proceeding with the gap filling. It is in fact the solidness of the floor boards, as well as the condition of its support (joists) that will define the durability of the gap filling, not the quality of the product we use or our service.

• How long does it take before the floors can be used again after sanding service?

  During the restoration service, the floors can handle light traffic without disrupting the process.

  During the sealing process, the floors can be walked on between coats.

  After the final coat is applied, foot traffic can be handled after 2 hours for lacquered floors and (depending on air humidity / season) 5-8 hours for hardwax-oil.

  Furniture should go back in place on the following day.
