Our Floor Sanding Perth Process
Sanding existing timber floors in Perth |
Sanding newly installed timber floors in Perth |
| 1. If renovating, all other trades need to have finished before sanding starts. This is to ensure the perfect finish. If other trades are on site we cannot guarantee the finish due to the exposure to sand, grit and chemicals. Before we start and power must also be available in all rooms. | 1. Wood floors need to be laid 3-4 days before sanding occurs. |
| 2. Furniture and carpet should be removed. Dust protect other rooms, with plastic sheeting over openings or by taping up doorways. | 2. If on a building site, power needs to be connected. Our machines draw too much power and front power poles will burn their motors. We need power to be available in all rooms, along with adequate lighting. |
| 3. Nails in the floorboards are punched. This is done so they sit below the timber. We then fill the holes and knotholes, as required. However, we do not suggest filling the gaps between floorboards as wood expands and contracts in different temperatures. By filling the gaps you remove the space for movement and this can result in cupping/peaking. | 3. All other trades need to have finished before sanding starts. This is to ensure the perfect finish.

6. Final Coat Once dried, any imperfections or nail holes that were missed will be filled. We then buff back the first coat. Finally, it is vacuumed and a final coat is applied. Your floor is now finished and looks incredible. You will need to give your new floor time, so be patient and wait for the coat to dry. After about 24 hours, you will be able to walk on your new wood floors with socks and admire the latest feature in your home. Furniture can usually be replaced after 4 days. |
