Commercial floor sanding is not for the faint hearted. It is only the best-served professionals that are able to take on such work. Furthermore this type of floor sanding requires an incredible understanding of each and every process involved with sanding wooden floors.
Individuals that are under-equipped or do not have the knowledge required to complete large-scale work will likely find the process too challenging. Why is this?
- Whatever the size; the floor needs to be seamlessly sanded to produce an even finish
- The application of a wood finish must be completed in a timely manner
This is particularly relevant as wood finishes are vital to the overall success of any particular job. Why? It is accepted that the application of a finish isn’t necessarily enjoyable to those who are inexperienced.
Therefore… Why Finish Your Wood Floors?
- To keep them clean
Wood as a natural material is porous. These pores, if untreated, accumulate dirt such as particles, dust and contaminants. This is unsightly and can work to further deteriorate the wooden floor. When a wood finish is applied it works as a seal to the surface of the individual pores and means that they are unlikely to fill with dirt again and will be easier to clean.
- To help with moisture issues
As wood absorbs and releases moisture, the environment that it is laid determines how serious an issue this is. Wood is responsive to humidity and the application of a finish minimises these effects, leaving a stable surface.
- Aesthetic benefits
Although natural wood is a beautiful material; a finish for wood floors provides a decorative element. There is a huge range of finishes available from a simple wax or oil to other alternatives that provide colour enhancements.
