How Wood Renewal Process Improves The Floor Appearance

By Eugenia Dickerson


In the home or commercial buildings there is evidence of the various ways wood is beneficial to people. The office and home furniture, some kitchen utensils and even houses are some of the ways this material is used. When it is used as a flooring material, it undergoes treatment to make it resistant to attack by insects. After prolonged use, its appearance changes and the user requires the services of wood renewal professionals to bring back the shiny beautiful floor.

A number of steps are involved in the process of giving furniture a facelift. Surface preparation usually takes the lead which also includes detailing. The technician then will mask the working site to avoid tampering with the unintended portions.

Sweeping is done on the floor as well as vacuuming to rid the area of loose hanging dirt and dust. The rooms adjoining the one been worked on are also dusted to keep dirt particle away. Even the vents are cleaned well for the purpose of removing dust. When this is done, the coating is applied on the floor carefully to ensure uniformity and every space on the floor have been covered.

After that then a specialized cleaning process is carried out, this now involves the use of a patented cleaner which is used to remove any debris from the trims of the floor. To remove all hidden dirt and dust particles, a buffer cleaning system is used. Upon the completion of the cleaning, the fan is then used to dry the floor; care should be taken not to blow dirt back to the working area.

Burnishing is done at this point by getting rid of the unwanted grain that has been caused by moisture. Another cleaning is done by sweeping and vacuuming. A micro fiber helps to remove any harmful materials that could have been left of on the surface. After this, final coat is applied. It is done precisely along the grain with a lot of care to cover every tiny spot to be able to bring out the beautiful appearance of the floor.

The condition of the floor determines how many times the coating is applied. It is possible to have up to three coats. The procedure of applying is to first clean, apply, burnish then dry mostly using a fan. Apart from removing debris, burnishing also helps to leave a uniformed sheen level. After the process is done the finishing coat is dried to seal the floor.

Finally, before leaving, the professional crosschecks his work to be sure his client is happy. A good work done is a sure way of him getting more jobs because the client is able to recommend him to other potential clients. It is important for the professional to advice his client on how to look after his floor which includes the products he can use for cleaning and how to clean the floor to avoid damaging it.

Before contracting an individual for wood renewal services, it is good to ascertain that he has the relevant knowledge and ability to work with a variety of wood types. The task is never an easy one especially in offices that may be extending over a large space requiring a good team work spirit. It is also good to confirm his work permit and accreditation documents.
