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.

• 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.

• Should I use varnish or oil for my parquet flooring?

  Thank you for your question regarding parquet floor restoration.

  Both lacquers and hardwax-oils can be used to seal parquet floors, but there are key differences to consider:

  Wood Floor Lacquers:

  • Durability: More hard-wearing and durable, providing long-lasting protection.

  • Ideal Use: Recommended for floors with high foot traffic.

  • Popular Products: Bona Mega, Bona Traffic, Loba Viva, Junckers HT700.

  • Solvent-Based Varnishes: Offer a thick layer of protection but emit strong odors, making them less suitable for residential use.

  Oil-Based Wood Finishes (Hardwax-Oils):

  • Maintenance: Less hard-wearing, requiring more frequent maintenance and recoating.

  • Aesthetic: Provide a more natural look and feel to the floors.

  • Popular Products: Osmo Polyx hardwax-oils.

  Choosing between the two depends on your specific needs for durability and aesthetic appeal.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How long it takes before for the floors to be used again after sanding service?

  During the restoration service, the floors can handle light traffic without disrupting the process.

  During the sealing process, the floors can be used between coats. After the final coat is applied, lacquered floors can accommodate foot traffic in 2 hours, while hardwax-oil floors require 5-10 hours, depending on air humidity and the season. Furniture should be moved back into place the following day.

• What hardwax-oil products you use for re-oiling?

  In our waxing and re-oiling services we use hardwax-oil and maintenance oil from Osmo, Bona, Woca and Loba brands - are all available in matt and satin sheens. The full list floor finishes we use is available here.

• What qualifications do your floor sanding specialists have?

  All our Floorworks™ technicians are carefully vetted to ensure they meet the highest standards of quality and professionalism.

  To join our network of flooring specialists, we make sure our local floor restoration technicians can demonstrate extensive experience, expertise, and skill in floor restoration. This includes a deep understanding of the floor finishes we use, proficiency with our advanced floor sanding equipment, and knowledge of various timber species.

  We hold our team to strict standards to guarantee top-tier service and outstanding results every time.

  Additional qualifications and courses are a benefit, but as we value our experts based on results, our main focus is on previous experience and eye for detail, which is key to delivering an excellent finish.
