Why to sand the floor ? (Floor Sanding Benefits)

Wood is a soft material and will naturally scratch and discolour after prolonged use. A good quality sanding can strip the floor down to its original form, enabling you to refinish it with fresh lacquer, colour stains, or oils. You will be able to choose various levels of shine and texture. It’s also cheaper and better for the environment as it will reduce the amount of waste.

Is it cheaper to refinish or replace hardwood floors?

Sanding and refinishing is always cheaper than replacing hardwood floors. With the latter, you’d be paying not only for the new wood but also for the labor of ripping out the old wood and toting it away.

Your floor is thirsty, Oil your floor.

Firstly, oiled wood flooring helps with its longevity. The oil revives the appearance of the floor. It also protects the floor’s surface, to keep it looking brand new for longer. Without oil protecting the surface, your wood will drink up any water and moisture. If this water gets into the wood, the floor will move and can cause long-term damage. The Oils we use do not create a film on the surface of the wood which makes it very easy to maintain. A great option if you love the natural feel of timber, these boards are lightly brushed to remove the softer fibres between the harder grain. If you oil wood with vegetable oil it will go rancid, whereas mineral oil will not.
