Sand & Seal Flooring
Significantly enhance a Solid Wood floor that has seen better days by treating it to a restorative Sand and Seal procedure.
If you have a Solid Wood floor that has become worn, scratched, discoloured or otherwise damaged due to its advancing years, opting for sanded floors followed by floor sealing will restore the appearance of your floor, looking as good as new.
After assessing the current state of your floor, we will deliver the right solution. Our services range from a simple top coat to a full restoration Sand and Seal.
We only use the best equipment, that’s why we have invested in a Lagler Trio Machine which is the best finishing sander on the market.
Taking great care and paying close attention to detail when undertaking a sanded wooden flooring job, we ensure that mess and dust are kept to an absolute minimum. We have invested in sanding machinery that showcases some of the most advanced technology on the market to ensure great results without undue disruption to the household.
Not only does wooden floor sealing enhance your wooden boards enormously, it also helps conserve natural resources by preserving your floor, extending its longevity. If being green matters to you, we can recommend sealants which are environmentally friendly, enabling your sanded flooring to receive a top coat that performs well and is kind to the environment.
Frequently asked questions
What is floor sanding?
Floor sanding removes the top layer of your wooden floors to eliminate scratches, stains, and imperfections. It helps restore the wood’s natural beauty and removes wear and tear. Sanding is especially important if your floors are old or damaged, giving them a fresh look before sealing.
How often should I have my floors sanded and sealed?
It really depends on how you look after it and the traffic your floors endure. You might need to sand and seal every 5-10 years in high-traffic areas, like hallways or living rooms. For lower-traffic areas, it could be longer. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prolong the time between sanding sessions.
What’s the difference between sealing and varnishing?
Sealing provides a protective barrier that helps keep moisture and dirt from penetrating the wood, maintaining its look and durability. Varnishing, on the other hand, adds a layer of sheen and gives your floor a polished finish. Both offer protection, but sealing is more focused on preserving the wood while varnishing adds a visual shine.
Can I stay in my home while the floors are being sanded and sealed?
It’s generally safe to stay in your home. However, after sealing, you’ll need to avoid walking on the floors for at least 24 hours to allow them to cure fully. Our team at Decorus Flooring will guide you on the best steps to minimise disruption during the process.
