Process of Floor Sanding with Polising
Preparation:
- Firstly all furniture and fixtures are removed from the room.
- Clean the floor thoroughly to remove any form of dust particles.
- Inspect the floor for any nails or staples and remove them from the floor.
- Repair any cracks, gaps, or damaged areas on the floor surface.
Sanding:
- Start with coarse grit sandpaper (around 36-60 grit) on a drum sander to remove the existing finish, scratches, and imperfections from the floor surface.
- Work in sections, moving the sander in the direction of the wood grain.
- Gradually switch to finer grit sandpapers (80-120 grit) to smooth out the surface and remove any remaining marks from the coarse sanding.
- Use an edger or hand-held sander for areas that the drum sander couldn’t reach, such as edges and corners.
- Vacuum or sweep the floor thoroughly to remove all dust and debris between sanding grits.
Filling Gaps and Cracks :
- If there are noticeable gaps or cracks between floorboards, you may choose to fill them with wood filler.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the wood filler application, and ensure it’s dry before proceeding.
Sealing:
- Apply a wood floor sealer or stain to enhance the color and protect the wood.
- Use a brush or roller to apply the sealer evenly, working with the grain of the wood.
- Allow the sealer to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Polishing:
- Once the sealer is dry, use a fine-grit sandpaper (150-220 grit) to lightly sand the surface, creating a smooth texture for the polish to adhere to.
- Clean the floor again to remove any dust from sanding.
- Apply the floor polish evenly using a clean applicator pad or mop.
- Allow the polish to dry completely between coats, following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Apply multiple coats of polish as needed to achieve the desired level of shine and protection.
- Buff the floor lightly with a buffing machine or a soft cloth to bring out the shine and remove any streaks or imperfections.
Drying and Curing:
- Allow the final coat of polish to dry and cure completely before allowing foot traffic or replacing furniture.
- This curing process may take several hours to a few days, depending on the type of polish used and environmental conditions.
Maintenance:
- Regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to remove dirt and debris.
- Clean up spills promptly to prevent stains and damage.
- Use protective pads on furniture legs to prevent scratching the floor surface.
- Periodically reapply polish or touch up areas that show signs of wear to keep the floor looking its best.
Following these steps carefully can help you achieve a beautifully sanded and polished wood floor that enhances the aesthetics of your space while providing long-lasting durability and protection.
