Typical Flooring Question - Should I Resurface or perhaps Refinish My Hardwood Floors


A query that Voyageur Flooring often hears from property owners is "should I refinish or resurface my hardwood floors"? The distinction between those two services is fairly considerable. The differences are centered around which one is actually done to the hardwood flooring and the cost associated with the program.

To refinish hardwood floors, Voyageur Flooring, in fact sands your floor with a weighty sand paper and eliminates the top layer of finish and also wood. The purpose of this is exactly to remove all deep knicks, scrapes, grazes, stains, etc. This method is applied to hardwood floors which have significant wear and tear. Quite often hardwood floors have already been neglected and as a consequence a hardwood floor refinishing is the only choice.

Voyageur Flooring works with lots of younger home owners who've bought older homes that had carpeting when they purchased the home, but now desire to destroy the carpet up because hardwood flooring have been found underneath. This really is a great time to refinish hardwood flooring. Other floors have small scratches and imperfections which are not as deep. These types of imperfections can often be remedied by a resurfacing.

To resurface a hardwood flooring, Voyageur Flooring buffs the existing finishing and applies a brand new coat of finish. Voyageur Flooring makes use of a water based finish that provides better protection compared to an oil based finish. You must request a water based finish from the local hardwood flooring professional. The big difference in price between a refinish and a resurface is around 2.00 per foot. Hardwood Flooring resurfacing doesn't not incorporate a sanding but rather a buffing.
