Floor Restoration
Several important points have to be kept in mind when carrying out parquet floor restoration.
Given below are some pointers which will make the job easier:
When looking for sourcing missing blocks during restoration, don’t forget to look under cupboards – very often you will find that a parquet floor has been laid below a cupboard as well.
To check for loose boards before starting parquet floor sanding, walk over the entire floor. Boards that shift under your weight will require attention.
When sourcing missing blocks from a reclamation yard for your parquet floor restoration project, make sure that the blocks are from the same source to prevent mismatch.
In order to ensure a uniform finish over the whole floor whilesanding parquet floor, sand the whole area and not just the replaced blocks.
Before starting parquet floor sanding, remove the old finish existing on the parquet floor, as this could render the sand paper useless by clogging it.
It is advisable to start sanding from one end of the room and push the belt- sander to the other end. Then walk back over the same area, sanding over it again. Once the whole room is covered in this way, turn at a 90° angle and then do the whole room again in the same manner.
Wooden floor restoration involves a process, which is as follows:
• Preparation is the stage of floor sanding and restoration at which all nails, staples and other materials that can adversely affect the sanding machines are removed. This includes removal of some adhesives that may have been used on the floor previously.
• Sanding begins with the first cut. This involves the use of heavy grit paper. The purpose of the first cut is to remove previous coatings and make the boards at the same level so that the wooden floor restoration can progress smoothly.
• Next, areas that cannot be accessed by the large sanders are covered by the edger, so that the floor sanding and restoration work will have an even look. At this stage, filling of holes and replacement of boards is carried out.
• The second cut is then done with a belt sander. The final finishing is done using a finishing machine, and the sanded floor is coated with sealants.
