Keys to Quality Sanding
Choosing the Right Equipment: Each type of floor requires specific equipment. For instance, ancient floors or stairs demand more delicate and precise machines.
Site Preparation: Before beginning, it's crucial to prepare the space. This includes protecting furniture and areas not involved, as well as ensuring adequate ventilation.
Understanding of Materials: Knowing the nature of the wood is fundamental. Each wood type reacts differently to sanding, influencing the choice of sand grains and techniques to use.
Innovative Sanding Techniques
Sanding Stairs and Handrails: These areas require special attention, using smaller tools and a methodical approach to avoid damage.
Sanding Outdoor Decks: Outdoor conditions pose unique challenges. We use techniques adapted to withstand the elements.
Restoration of Historic Floors: Preserving historical integrity is essential. We combine traditional methods with modern technologies to achieve the best results.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Not Overlooking Details: Finishes, like corners and edges, demand rigorous attention. Neglect can lead to uneven wear.
Choice of Varnish: Selecting a quality varnish appropriate for the wood type is crucial for a durable and aesthetic finish.
Drying and Maintenance: Respecting drying times and providing proper maintenance advice ensures the longevity of the work done.
