| REFINISHING
WOOD FLOORS |
| |
When should
hardwood floors be installed? |
|
Many beautiful floors are
hidden under carpet or just worn down by years of |
|
traffic, exposure to the sun,
water damage or extensive heat. Alpine Flooring |
| combines years of experience
in the field with the use of the latest refinishing |
| equipment to revive even
the most tired floors. Sometimes a floor with |
| shallow scratches or a dull
surface needs only a top coat of finish to bring |
| |
back it’s original
beauty. Several grades of sanding
paper will be used to |
| remove all scratches and
stains. Once the wood is buffed and cleaned, |
| the natural color can be
left or color can be added by application of a stain. |
| The process will be completed
with a polyurethane coating for protection |
| against moisture and scratches.
Our free consultation includes an evaluation |
| and a recommended treatment
for your hardwood floor. |

Polyurethane |
| |
Oil-based polyurethane is a durable,
protective coating that can be applied |
|
to wood floor providing a darker and
richer tone to the finish. It can be |
|
ordered in satin, semi-gloss or high-gloss.
An alternative is water-based |
|
polyurethane which is an
ordorless product that dries quickly enabling |
| |
multiple
coats to be applied in one day. |

Wood Floor Maintenance |
It is advisable to sweep a
wood floor with a soft broom or use a vacuum |
| with a bristol. When washing,
only use the manufacturer recommended |
| cleaner with a dry mop and
a terry cloth cover. |
