Understanding the Specifics of Your Floor
At Plancher Deluxe, serving Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as the South and North Shores with excellence is our commitment. When it comes to restoring an old floor, two options are available: varnishing and staining. Each has its unique advantages, and the choice depends on several factors.
Varnishing: For Enhanced Protection and Shine
- Durability: Varnish offers a robust protective layer, resistant to everyday wear and tear.
- Aesthetics: It accentuates the natural beauty of the wood by providing a glossy and radiant finish.
- Maintenance: Varnished floors are easier to clean and require less regular upkeep.
Staining: For Customization and Natural Charm
- Customization: Staining allows changing the color of the wood, offering personalization to your taste.
- Natural Appearance: It penetrates the wood, enhancing its grain and preserving its authentic charm.
- Variety: Available in a wide range of colors, staining is ideal for creative renovation projects.
Factors to Consider
- Condition of the Wood: If your floor shows significant signs of wear, varnishing might be the best option for restoration.
- Style of Your Interior: Staining may be preferable if you wish to harmonize your floor with the rest of your interior decoration.
- Personal Preferences: Your choice may depend on your personal aesthetic preferences between the shine of a varnish and the more matte look of a stain.
The Sanding Process: A Crucial Step
Regardless of your choice, floor sanding (sablage de plancher) is an essential step. This procedure prepares the surface of the floor to receive varnish or stain, ensuring optimal adherence and finish.
