Professional Engineered Floor Restoration in Islington

Sanding is extremely important when it comes to maintaining the natural look and beauty of your wooden floor. The visual improvement after the sanding treatment is significant, but if it was only for that, we wouldn't be so hardworking and dedicated. The service is also great for wooden floors in poor condition, and it is part of the whole restoration process. It removes many imperfections from the surface, including scratches, worn finish, smaller gaps and dents, as well as stubborn stains. That way the sanding procedure also helps to prevent smaller issues from growing bigger and prevents them from becoming serious problems.

Of course, professionalism, expertise and knowledge are among the most essential things for every renovation specialist. At Islington Floor Sanders, we have the experience to completely transform and revamp your floors. Another crucial aspect of perfect results is the equipment. Our experts use different sandpaper grits throughout the whole process, which enables them to work on every little detail and provide flawless and uniform results at the end.

Engineered wood is a manufactured product made to look and feel like hardwood timber. Multiple lumber, or plywood, layers are glued together, topped with a real wood veneer and cut into planks, so they make the installation easier and the whole construction super sturdy and solid. Even a professional would find it hard to discern at just a glance the difference between solid wood and engineered, so if you choose this option, you are sure to be making a good investment.

Although the advantages of engineered wood are many, there are also some drawbacks as well. Engineered wood, like all the other types of wooden flooring, is sensitive to humidity and high-temperature amplitudes, which make it contract and expand. Another issue of concern comes from everyday use and frequent traffic, which can lead to serious trouble, especially if the top protective layer is worn. There are some proper cleaning and maintenance routines you can follow in order to keep your floor in good condition for longer, but occasionally sanding the engineered wood planks is recommended by professionals. We are talking once every 5 to 10 years, and not every couple of months.

Besides the popular benefits of the sanding method, it is also recommended to consider staining and sealing. You can opt for purchasing unfinished engineered wood planks, which you can sand after the installation, so you can get a levelled and even floor. Sanding is great also before staining. The colour pigments will always highlight even the finer imperfections on the surface, so if you want to ensure a smooth colour distribution, definitely choose to sand your floors, as it will remove all the small gaps, scratches, previous stains and more, thus creating even greater colour contrast.
