Firstly, it is always good to get advice on any major improvement to your property. Wood floors are a significant part of your home and making the right decision on floor coverings will not only add appeal and value to your property but even save you money in both the long and short term.
Wooden floors are practical and have a natural beauty and warmth all of their own. They can enhance the most ordinary of rooms as well as adding the finishing touch to an already superb decor.
Now that you have decided to have floors sanded & refinished I would suggest to first look in an obscure part of your floor perhaps a corner or underneath the house, to check that you have floorboards under your existing floor coverings.
Cost varies depending on floor size, finish required, and any gap filling or necessary repairs.
Sanding and refinishing a beautiful wood floor is a genuine craft, perfected over many years, and we take real pride in the results. Because the work is carried out by hand using our sanding machines and applicators, your floor will carry lovely natural touches that are entirely its own — and as you live on it day to day, it will develop a character and warmth that’s unique to your home. That’s part of what makes a wood floor so special.
• Expert sanding and coating
• Nails punched below the surface
• Nail holes, knot holes and gaps at the end of boards filled with the appropriate filler (where necessary)
• A beautiful coating that will last for years to come, with the right care
Please be aware of the following information.
As most coating systems require overnight dry times, the usual project will be a minimum of one to three days. This time frame may be extended depending on the size of the job. As an estimate, most floor sanders can sand on average 30/40 square meters per day. Furthermore, please remember to add the time for the coats to be applied and to dry.
Yes, it will smell. Waterborne finishes are the most environmentally friendly, therefore produce less odour. All other finishes will generally require you to be in a well ventilated separate area if you want to stay in your home while the floor is drying. However, as every job is different, please contact Touché Flooring for more information concerning your house layout or coatings to be used to ensure they meet your requirements.
Most coatings will dry overnight assuming mild weather conditions (15 to 25 degrees C). However, 7 to 14 days for full curing in the case of polyurethane is usually suggested by most manufacturers. Any normal traffic should be avoided during this period. Small items residing in fixed positions may be put in place carefully provided they have protective tips underneath them within 3 to 5 days. Always check first with Touché Flooring or your coating manufacturer to make sure there is no misunderstanding on this matter as many floors can be damaged in this crucial period.
