Why You Need a Professional Sander In Brisbane

Some home owners in Brisbane try to fix the scuff marks on high traffic areas or think that it is not a big deal, I can just sand the floor with my angle grinder or car polisher with any grit of sand paper and any off the shelf polish! I mean, How Hard Could It Be. Right? WRONG.

One should consider these factors while sanding floors.

  • The angle of the sanding machine approach
  • Which grit sand paper to use on certain wood type
  • What kind of polish will give you which kind of shine or stain or finish
  • Which nails to use and how not to damage planks when putting nails in
  • How not to damage adjacent floor boards when changing a rotten or damaged area

Sustainable practices

We believe in green home building practices to minimize carbon footprint in the atmosphere. Ecological practices include:

  • Dustless sanding technology prevents the spread of dust in the air.
  • Non-toxic, eco-friendly natural oil finishes are plant-based polishes. They emit low VOCs and have less odor.
  • Water-based polyurethane finishes are also preferred as they contain water as a solvent instead of mineral oils and turpentine.
  • Our team responsibly manages waste products by collecting and disposing of dirt and debris produced during the process.

Floor Sanding & Polishing FAQs

Is it economical to refinish timber floors or replace them?

Refinishing is always more economical than full replacement, provided that the existing floorboards are structurally sound and only got surface damage.

Floor repair or replacement is the homeowner’s decision after considering all the aspects. The major factor that can affect this decision is cost. Refinishing is economical if your floors have surface damage and need only sanding and polishing. Floor replacement is for highly damaged or bent floorboards. Timber floor refinishing involves sanding to remove imperfections and polishing to revitalize the floor. It saves labor and time and requires fewer materials to refinish the floors.

On the other hand, floor replacement involves removing all the planks and installing a new floor. Replacement is time-consuming and requires additional materials( polishing and coating agents after the planks are laid and fixed), leading to higher overall costs. Moreover, replacement involves more labor costs and can result in disruption and discomfort to your living space.

How many times you can re-sand and polish a timber floor safely?

It depends on the wood type. Woods like Oak, Maple, and Jarrah have high Janka scale readings, which means these floors have thick veneer and can be sanded five to seven times.

Engineered floors have thin veneer, limiting the number of sanding to two to three times. However, these numbers can vary based on the initial thickness of the wear layer, the professional’s expertise, and the care taken during the process.

It is crucial to consult a flooring company to determine and understand the characteristics of your timber floors.

What signs indicate my timber floor needs sanding vs. polishing?

Signs that indicate the need for floor treatment are surface wear and tear, discoloration, fading and scratches, it needs floor polishing. If you see deep scratches, significant discoloration, uneven areas, or have exposed raw timber then it needs floor sanding.

Floor polishing is the process of rejuvenating wood by eliminating small scratches and color fade. Floor sanding is necessary if issues arise with the floorboards. A patchy or rough surface with uneven areas indicates the need for floor sanding to smooth out imperfections. Stains from spills and discoloration from sunlight are the signs that the process is due.
