Types of Wood Floor for Refinishing?
Hardwood floors are one of the most durable types of flooring. They're able to withstand heavy foot traffic, spills,
and even pet urine (as long as it's cleaned up immediately). However, over time your hardwood floors can start looking
dull or even scratched. That's where we come in!
Nearly all types of wood-based flooring can be restored, but there are some nuanced elements that come with
determining if your type of flooring can be refinished.
All solid hardwood floors require a polyurethane finish, so these surfaces are accessible for refinishing. This
includes Oak, Cherry, Maple, and many exotic species too. What becomes difficult is when the flooring isn"t
traditional or solid hardwood. Many homes throughout the Cape Cod area contain engineered hardwood flooring.
Engineered hardwood flooring utilizes a combination of plywood and solid wood - this allows contractors to touch up
the surface while keeping its original character intact - but it can"t be changed into something else after being
touched up!
On the contrary, contractors don't do resurfacing on vinyl plank floors because they"re not made out of raw wood and
cannot withstand renovation to their structures during restoration due to how fragile these materials may become
following touch-ups or renovations during restoration processes.
How to refinish hardwood floors?
Sanding the wood's surface to eliminate any scratches or other flaws is a step in the process of refinishing hardwood
floors. Applying stain and sealing it with polyurethane are the next steps. Your floor will have a fresh appearance and
be shielded from further harm as a result.
To begin refinishing hardwood floors, every piece of furniture, carpeting, and other decoration must be taken out of the
space. The next step is to use a coarse grit sandpaper to remove any scratches or flaws from the wood's surface. Before
applying stain or polyurethane, thoroughly dry the surface after sanding to remove any dust.
