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 odorless 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.
