When can we walk on the floors?

If it is a restored timber floor that has been sanded and sealed, it all depends on the product used to finish the floor. Oils can be anything between 6-24hrs between coats. A lacquered floor is walk-able after approx 3 hours, but can take up to 72 hours to fully cure.

Is there a lot of dust when sanding the floors?

All of our larger sanding machines have very powerful dust extractors fitted on them and the smaller machines have a vacuum attachment. Whilst no sanding is 100% dust free, we guarantee a 99% dust free experience when we restore floors. For peace of mind we also protect all surfaces to minimise any dust.

How long will the finish last?

With regular maintenance cleaning, a floor can last many years, often 7-10 years. When the finish becomes dull there are several professional service methods, such as a buff and re-coat which can restore the lustre with re-sanding. It can be carried out relatively quickly, without the inconvenience of a re-sand. Saving time and money, at the same time prolonging the aesthetics and life of your floor.

Can you change the colour of the hardwood?

This depends on the species of wood. Oak and pine are acceptable to most stains and oils, however, all red woods (Mahogany, cherry, merbau, Teak) have high volumes of natural oils in them, therefore would not take well to colour. In addition to this beech and maple are extremely dense, so would not absorb a colour well.

What if there is damage to the floor or sections where hardwood is missing?

The only thing to do Is to remove this as a board replacement and weave the new boards in. From there after the floors have been sanded and refinished the floors should integrate well.

How long after maintenance can I walk on the floors?

Lacquer: Light traffic from 3 hours, heavy traffic after 24 hours. Oil: From 6 hours depending on drying time of product

Can plastic tips on chairs prevent scuff marks on my floors?

Industry experts say felt tips on chairs are a better option than plastic tips, which can mark floors. Also, we recommend that you stay away from rolling chairs as these tend to do a lot of damage to hardwood floors.
