Having a natural hardwood floor is
perhaps the most practical of all flooring materials in your home. As with most
things the protective finish might start to wear off over time, especially in
high traffic areas. Now would be the perfect time to think about refinishing
your hardwood flooring. Sometimes applying a modern new finish can make
hardwood floors much easier to maintain than even when they were first
installed.
If you have a wooden floor that has
been covered in carpet for years, now would be a good time to refinish and
freshen up the wood surface, that has more than likely dulled from being hidden
for a long time. This is not an easy project to tackle because anyone who has
tried this can tell you that it can be very messy and extremely dusty indeed. Therefore,
it is most certainly recommended that hardwood flooring refinishing specialists
should perform the refinishing project. Hardwood floor refinishers have the
knowledge and experience, as well as all the proper equipment to revitalize
hardwood floors for a new finish and cleaner appearance. These specialists know
how to use power sanders the correct way to remove all the old existing finish
and preparing the wood to accept the new stain.
There is a simple test you can try
to determine if your floor needs refinishing, or cleaning simply
dirty. Find a place on your wood floor which is a high traffic area, where the
wear and tear is at an optimal level and takes the most abuse. Pour a
tablespoon of water onto the floor. If the water forms beads, then the floor is
properly sealed still. You should only need to clean and perhaps use stain
remover. If the water takes a few minutes to seep into the floor, and only
darkens slightly, then the finish is probably only partially worn off. When
this happens, you should consider refinishing your floors.
If the water soaks straight into
your floor and leaves a dark stain on the wood, it's certainly time to refinish
your hardwood floors. There are many different stain shades available. Please
remember what looks right in a book or on printed paper most probably look
different on the real surface. Remember that different types or grades of wood
can look quite different even though it's the same color of stain applied, so
check your wood grade.
Some wood stains will appear
different on refinished flooring than on a newly installed wood, and using
proper sanding with the right equipment, will help the wood accept the stain
better. You should always test several colors on a sample of the same wood as
your floor so you have a much better idea of how the finish will look when
finished. Hardwood flooring comes in many various shades and colors. Some of
the more popular stains include Natural tone like bare wood. Light is a very
popular stain because it darkens the grain and the wood will have a subtle tone
to it, often having a slight tan hue. Medium is another popular choice, giving
the wood a darker medium brown hue. Dark is a much darker brown but has a warm
rich feel to it. You can also have the choice of custom coloring your hardwood floors.
Besides the light, medium and dark hues, some customers opt for bright colors
such as deep green or bright red stain with fantastic results.
