Wood Floor Restoration - The Process
Phase 1 - Sanding
Before beginning, all furniture must be removed from the room. Not only will this allow access to all parts of the floor, but the process is a dirty one, and could cause damage to furniture. If there are large pieces that cannot be moved, or built-in furnishings, care should be taken to completely seal them off with protective plastic sheeting.
Sanding is the first step in wood floor refinishing. During this phase, all surface residues are gently sanded off. The floor will be sanded several times - each time, with a finer grade of sand paper. Between sanding, the floor is cleaned of all dust.
Phase 2 - Wood Floor Repair
Sanding generally resolves scratches, stains and discoloration. Badly scarred or warped floors, however, require additional treatment. Typically, scars and gouges that do not disappear during the sanding process must be treated with wood filler. After repairs, floor may require additional sanding.
Phase 3 - Stain Removal
In some cases, staining is required. This process changes or corrects floor color. Great care must be taken to apply the stain evenly, or the result will be an uneven looking floor.
Phase 4 - Finish
Finishing is the final step in wood floor refinishing. In this phase, at least two coats of floor finish are applied to provide the required gloss and to seal and protect the floor from wear. Wood floor finishes take several hours to dry, and each coat must dry before the next is applied.
