FAQ'S
How long will my wood floor last?
Correctly fitted and maintained a solid wood floor will last a lifetime, but correct fitting is crucial.
Should we decorate before you sand?
It is fine to decorate before sanding commences but it is best to leave the skirting until afterwards. Any skirting is subject to a little scuffing from the edge sander and could well need touching up. We do all we can to limit the marks left but it is difficult to predict what will happen until we start.
How much dust will there be?
Our machines are marketed as being 97% dust free. The reality is that it all depends on the floor. If the floor is uneven, the dust extraction will not work as well. When sanding a room about 10 square metres we would expect to remove about 1-2 carrier bags of dust.
How long before I can use the floor after treatment?
A floor can be walked on 3 - 4 hours after finish is applied but it takes 3 - 4 days to fully harden. Therefore, we recommend special care with the floor during these few days. After this length of time your floor will be very hard wearing.
What will the maintenance be for a floor?
Actually not a lot, we recommend a light mop with soapy water. Using a recommended brand of wooden floor cleaner available in all good supermarkets. We also recommend following the use of these cleaners that you rinse the floor using warm water to remove any traces of cleaner.
