Steps to Take While Choosing Floor sanding and Restoration

The following are some of the steps to take while choosing floor sanding and restoration:

Identify the type of wood used on the floor of the house that is to undergo floor sanding and restoration. Each type of wood requires different handling depending on their specific characteristics and inherent qualities.

Ensure that the floor surface on which you are considering wood floor restoration has sufficient wood to withstand the process. Ideally, about ⅛ inch of wood should be available above the tongue. Consider whether you want to use putty or some other such material to cover defects during wood floor restoration. Understand that this type of filling is likely to come loose in a couple of years, and will leave the scars exposed.

Since sanding can raise a lot of dust, face masks will be required, and plastic sheets will have to be hung across doorways to prevent the other rooms of the house from becoming dusty. Similarly, safety gear to protect from excessive noise and to prevent splinters from injuring the eyes needs to be at hand.

It would be a good idea to consider using professional services, and a good experienced wood floor restoration London expert would fit the bill.
