Your Questions Answered..

• How many times I can restore my engineered wood floors?

  Hi Richard,

  Engineered wood flooring comes in three standard thicknesses: 20 mm, 18 mm, and 14/15 mm. The top layer, made of materials like oak, walnut, beech, or maple, varies between 3 mm and 6 mm. Each sanding process removes about 1 mm of the top layer, with an additional 1 mm needed for factory defects and floor leveling. Consequently, a 3 mm top layer can only be sanded once, while a 6 mm top layer can withstand 3 to 4 restorations.

• Can you recommend hardwax-oil product for re-oiling?

  Hi James,

  For regular recoating of engineered wood flooring, maintenance oil is recommended as it contains fewer solids than regular hardwax-oil products, making it easier to apply. However, using normal hardwax-oil for re-oiling is also common and effective. Popular and user-friendly products include Osmo Polyx and Bona Hardwax-Oil.

  These products typically have slow drying times, ranging from 4 to 8 hours. For a quicker option, Osmo offers the Polyx Rapid, which dries a few hours faster.

• 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.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• What is the lead time for your floor sanding services?

  Lead times can vary, but usually we accommodate works within 2 weeks even in the summer when there is higher demand for the service. We do get cancellations and availability can be random, best is to check with member of the team if your floor restoration works are urgent.

• Can you supply matching flooring for floor repairs?

  In most cases when floor repairs are required we can supply same age of parquet flooring blocks, solid or engineered wood flooring planks. In some cases we may need to produce planks or blocks from same timber material, to match the existing flooring.

  If we cannot find the same product or material, we can supply the closest timber and do a close colour match with floor staining.

• Do you replace original floorboards with seasoned / reclaimed material?

  Yes, in our floorboards repairs service we only work with seasoned pine material, which will reflect age and colour of your existing boards as close as possible.

  If the natural colour of the boards is not a good match, we can also adjust it local staining.
