Wooden floors in commercial premises are hugely popular because of their attractive look and practical appeal. There is a broad range of solutions ideally suited to a commercial environment.
No matter the setting, whether it is an office, a museum, a gallery, a pub, a club, a shop or sports hall, wood flooring can be the perfect solution. It deals well with challenges such as traffic, moisture and temperature fluctuations.
So, how do we get the perfect wood floor?
Stage 1 - Check for damaged areas: when a wood floor is badly scratched or the seal is worn through it requires a complete restorative process. There may be sections where repairs are required.
Stage 2 - Preparation: this process requires cleaning and sweeping the floor to make sure surface dirt and dust is removed. A wood cleanser and degreaser may be used to remove ingrained dirt and contaminants.
Stage 3 - Wood Sanding: this process involves sanding the flooring through progressively finer grades of sanding paper until the required finish is achieved. Best-served professionals have invested in ground-breaking dust free wood floor sanding equipment; the dust extraction system avoids the enormous amount of dust created at the point of cleaning and following the treatment. This allows the process to take place without affecting the business, employees and its customers. Furthermore the process can be carried out quickly and with minimal disruption to the day-to-day operations.
During the process as the indoor air quality is protected, craftsmen are able to offer a superior sanding as they are able to continuously monitor their work; greater attention to detail is therefore possible. In addition, the use of the most up to date machinery guarantees that the surface is given the best possible, smooth finish ready to receive colour and sealant.
Stage 4 - Re-finish the floors: the final stage will be to stain, seal and polish your floors. There is a range of stains available for wood floors so careful consideration into these options will be required to achieve the look you desire. For sealing your floors, multiple layers of heavy-duty and long-lasting UV-protected waterborne floor finish is applied. This process protects your floors from future wear and tear and high foot traffic.
It may be a subtle finish or a complete change, requiring a different colour. Whichever option is chosen, specific care is required in the application of the stain or varnish.
Does the floor need to be an oiled surface with a more matt finish or a gloss finish? Coloured or clear, advice should be taken as to ensure the exact look needed, is achieved.
The right finishing choice will make sure your floor looks great and lasts longer; well-maintained wooden floors can offer an impressive and hard-wearing finish. This does involve time and effort but the results can be amazing when done to a high standard.
