Having your hardwood floor restored to its splendor is part of keeping up your home and business premises. In time, hardwood floors will get scratched, nicked, and scuffed be it as a result of accidents or via normal wear and tear. Fortunately, wood floors can be refinished multiple times during their lifespan. Normally, they should be sanded and refinished once in five years, depending on the amount of foot traffic. Sanding down your floors and applying a finish will reinstate them to their former beauty, restoring the striking luster and shine they once had. You can have your floor shining once again in just a few days on contacting FlooringFirst!
Restoring hardwood floors is a step-by-step process with sanding and refinishing taking several of days to complete, depending on the size of surface that needs doing.
First, we will sand down the wooden floor to remove all scratches and signs, carefully choosing the appropriate sandpaper grit to match your floor and requirements. Our selection will be based on what you have in mind and various factors like the last time your floors were refinished, the amount of wear and tear accumulated, type of wood etc.
Next, we will apply as many coats of finish to your hardwood floors as necessary. In between coats, we will lightly buff the floors to attain as smooth a finish as possible. We typically use environmentally friendly polyurethane, but you can request an oil finish or stain and we will advise you on the available options.

Dust has always been an issue in the floor sanding industry. At FlooringFirst! we utilize the latest dust free equipment and technologies the industry has to offer, so all of our sanding tools attach to dust extracting units. Our big belt sander collection bags are double stitched, custom made and tailored to our needs. However, dust bags need to breathe, so a minor amount of dust is inevitable and to be expected.
We suggest that you seal cupboards and adjoining areas if possible. Before applying floor finish, we always dust window sills and skirting prior to vacuuming. This ensures that drying coat will not be contaminated with dust particles due to air movement. The result is an extremely dust free area.
