When you need high-quality floor sanding and polishing services in Melbourne, you can rely on Floorshow to provide the best results.
A higher standard and quality of sanding is required for stained floors: correct staining necessitates specialised precision equipment, fine high-quality abrasives, additional processes, and an attention to detail that is not required for ordinary floor sanding and polishing.
We use stain applied directly to the timber then toned to obtain excellent clarity, sharpness and depth. This is the traditional way to stain timber; other methods of tinting, such as mixing stain into the finish, are vastly inferior.
All coatings and finishes have a number of different properties to consider. We'll walk you through them with samples in hand.
Hard soled footwear combined with high grit levels will abrade even the toughest coating quickly, and indentation or scratching can occur if objects are dropped, dragged or moved across a timber floor. Where durability is a necessity, polyurethane and two-pack water-based coatings offer excellent toughness.
Abnormal movement in a timber floor may result in splitting, clumping and delamination at the edges when high-strength coatings are used. Timber floors expand and contract with moisture content changes due to heat, humidity and ventilation. Waxed and oiled floors cope well where extra flexibility is needed.
Polyurethane leaves a thick film which yellows with time. For those who find this unappealing, oil, wax and new ultra-matte water-based finishes leave a grainier natural look which is now preferred by most people. These quality water-based coatings are also non-yellowing.
Polyurethane and traditional oil and wax finishes are toxic during application and continue to outgas for some time afterwards. Pregnant women, young children and the highly sensitive should vacate the site for at least seven days after completion. Water-based coatings are a better choice where floors need to be used immediately.
Using high-performance belt sanding machines we sand timber floor surfaces flat and smooth, blending edges without marking paintwork.
