Do You Have a Question?

• What can go wrong with DIY floor sanding?

  Hi,

  Restoring your floor can be challenging without prior sanding experience and knowledge. Floor sanding requires specific skills that are typically gained through experience. Therefore, it's advisable to leave parquet floor sanding to professionals like FloorWorks, who have expertise in handling various flooring types and can prevent costly mistakes.

  If you decide to proceed on your own, research parquet floor sanding thoroughly. Key points to consider include the correct technique for applying the wood floor finish. After sanding the floors to a smooth finish, apply the first coat of varnish carefully, ensuring it dries fully before applying subsequent coats. Imperfections like blobs can occur if the surface isn't perfectly smooth and clean or if the old sealant isn't completely removed, necessitating an expensive re-sanding and re-varnishing.

  Additionally, note that if your parquet flooring has been sanded before, there might be limited chances for re-sanding, possibly requiring a complete floor replacement.

  Therefore, it is always recommended to leave the parquet floor sanding to a professional sanding company like Floorworks™ Sanding Co.

• What Is the difference between gap filling and strip filling?

  Gap filling is part of our wood floor restoration services. It is common for gaps to appear between the floorboards or between the parquet blocks over time. The smaller gaps are relatively easy to ractify by the gap filling service, where a mixture of clear resin and saw dust, which is collected from the sanding process is used to fill in the gaps. Nevertheless, it should be noted that bigger gaps are trickier to fill. This is where strip filling comes to help.

  Strip filling uses small pine slivers between the floorboards and goes together with resin & saw dust filler. While this is often an effective method, it is not ideal solution for larger areas as it can spoil the look of the timber floors.

  Important note for both gap filling methods is that they are dependant on the solidness of the floorboards. Stability of both depends on absence of movement in the floorboards or in the joists that hold the floorboards. Therefore, gap filling for floorboards is excluded from the service guarantee of flooring companies.

• Should I use varnish or oil for my original pine floorboards?

  Hi and thank you for the question regarding the choice of sealant for pine floorboards.

  Pine is a softwood, and while it is possible to seal pine with both lacquers and hardwax oils, we always recommend using a hardwearing varnish when sanding and sealing this type of flooring. The reason is that pine tends to absorb oils, resulting in lower protection and durability for floorboards sealed with hardwax oils compared to those sealed with varnish. This is especially important when staining is required. Therefore, we recommend sealing stained pine floorboards with hardwearing varnish for better protection and durability.

  We hope that the above helps.
