Hardwood Screen and Finish Service
Revitalize Your Floors with Floor Restore
Introduction
Welcome to Floor Restore, where we specialize in hardwood floor rejuvenation. Our hardwood screen and finish service is designed to refresh and protect your floors, giving them a new lease on life. This process is less invasive than full refinishing but equally effective in enhancing the beauty of your hardwood floors.
Understanding the Screen and Finish Process
Screening, often referred to as buffing, is a less intensive method than traditional refinishing. It involves lightly sanding (or screening) the top layer of the wood to remove the old finish and then applying a new topcoat for protection and sheen. This process is ideal for floors that don’t have deep scratches or significant damage but need a refreshment of their finish.
Step 1: Inspection and Assessment
Our journey begins with a thorough inspection of your hardwood floors. We evaluate the condition of the wood, identifying areas that require special attention. This step determines whether a screen and finish service is appropriate or if more extensive refinishing might be necessary.
Step 2: Preparing the Space
Preparation is key to a successful screen and finish process. We start by meticulously cleaning the floor to remove dirt, dust, and any particles that could affect the outcome. We also ensure that the work area is clear and that any furniture is safely moved aside to provide ample working space.
Step 3: The Screening Process
Screening is a delicate process that requires skill and precision. We use a floor buffer with a fine-grit screening pad to gently abrade the top layer of the floor’s finish. This process roughens the surface enough to allow the new finish to adhere correctly without damaging the wood underneath.
Step 4: Cleaning and Prep for Finishing
Post-screening, we thoroughly clean the floor to remove all dust and particles created during the screening. This step is crucial for a flawless finish, as any residue left on the
floor can interfere with the adhesion and appearance of the new topcoat.
Step 5: Applying the New Finish
Choosing the right finish is essential for achieving the desired look and level of protection. At Floor Restore, we offer various finish options, including water-, oil-based, and environmentally friendly choices. Our experts apply the finish evenly and meticulously, ensuring a smooth, streak-free surface. The number of coats will depend on the type of finish selected and your specific requirements.
Step 6: Drying and Curing
Once the finish is applied, it needs time to dry and cure properly. We advise on the necessary drying times and when you can safely walk on the floors again. The curing process is crucial for the durability and longevity of the finish, and we ensure that it happens in a controlled environment to achieve the best results.
