Floorboard Sanding

You might wish to sand your floorboards for a few reasons. The first reason is spot sanding to remove stains or scratches from floorboards. This differs slightly from sanding the entire floor and can be accomplished with a good power tool like a mouse sander or one of the best orbital sanders if you decide to do it yourself. However, it may take you a few days to actually complete the job and you may then discover that your floor is full of spots and the lacquer has so many shades.

The removal of stains from the entire floor or stripping back floorboards to improve their condition are the two other primary reasons for sanding hardwood floorboards. This will necessitate more intense sanding work, which can only be accomplished with professional equipment like the one we use at Floors Doctor.

Floorboards may need to be sanded before being painted, stained, or painted. If the boards are untreated, you may be able to sand them by hand or with a power tool to clean them up before painting. If the boards are stained, however, you will need to sand them back using a floor sander.

The inconvenience of using conventional restoration techniques is well known to any homeowner who has had their floorboards sanded and refinished.

There is first the wood dust. This debris is abundantly produced when floors are sanded, and even when it is well swept away, it can still easily slip into crevices. After having their floors restored, many homeowners discover wood dust months later.

The issue of chemical fumes comes next. When old layers of finish are removed using solvents, very harmful vapours can be released into your home’s air. The fresh finish layer also has a smell to it. In order to wait for the smells and chemicals to go away, some homeowners had to relocate their family into motels.

The waiting is the last step. For a normal undertaking, traditional wood floor restoration can take anywhere from 3 to 5 days. Your house is a mess at that time. Additionally, the work itself might make life miserable if family members or pets are at home during the day. The new finish on your flooring may need up to a week to cure even after the workmen have left.
