Frequently asked questions
Absolutely! Your old timber floors can be transformed into stylish, low-maintenance, and durable features of your home. Even floors damaged by time, timber borers, or previous renovations can be salvaged with repairs, replacement, and staining. Polished timber floors are often a cheaper and healthier option than carpet, especially for those with asthma or allergies. Stripping off old coatings reveals the natural beauty of your timber floors.
Sanding the wooden floor before the kitchen installation is advisable as a completely flat floor is preferred by the kitchen installers and it is best that our floor sanding equipment avoid sanding up to the new kickboard as the machinery can mark the cabinetry. For the best floor sanding results when installing a kitchen, it is preferable to sand and polish the wooden floor and apply some of the finishing coats before the kitchen is installed. Once the cabinetry is completely installed we can return, deal with any minor damage that may have been incurred during installation and then apply the final coat of timber floor finish.
A common misconception is that floor sanding results in a house full of dust. While some dust is created, we minimize it to protect the polyurethane finish. Our machines have vacuum systems, and we vacuum the floor multiple times during the process. However, some airborne dust is inevitable. We recommend covering or removing electronics like TVs and stereos during sanding.
