Everybody loves it when their floors look clean and sparkling. With time, no matter what kind of flooring you have, they tend to get dull and lost the luster. This is when you need to do a little floor sanding and polishing to bring back the original look. The sound of it may make you think it will take days to complete and that you need to put in a lot of work. You couldn't be more wrong and when you see how good your house looks when the job is done, you will be glad you did it.


Polishing The Floor

At the end of floor sanding, we will use a coat to protect your wood. When this is dry, we can polish your floor to give it the ultimate shine that everybody will love. It may take a few days but when you get the right people to do it, it will last for a long time. Floor sanding and polishing are some of the basic things done to keep a floor in top condition.

Time Requires

Once you start the project, you may want to keep your space free for a week or so. It will all depend on what you wish to be done to your floor. You can opt for wax and oil after the sanding and then go for polishing. Whether you need floor sanding and polishing done at your office, home, etc. you will find agencies that will take on projects of all sizes. If you want the best results for your space, get the experts to do it.

Extra Care For Your Floor

In addition to floor sanding and polishing, you can go for sealing to cover up the gaps between boards. Varnishing also helps protect your wood and makes it last longer. Some people wish to see a change in their flooring and staining is the answer to this. When done right, the result will be amazing and it will look like you have just installed new floor boards.

A hardwood floor is a floating hardwood floor if the floor is not glued directly to the sub-floor, but the individual floor boards are glued together. The floor is held in place with its own weight instead of glue. Floating floors are ideal when your sub-floor is uneven or when you are installing over a pre-existing ceramic, vinyl or wood floor.

There are quite a few brands of hardwood flooring that can be installed as floating floors, two of which are Anderson Hardwood Floors and Bruce Hardwood Floors. Before purchasing your flooring materials, make sure to find out if your particular flooring is suitable to be installed as a floating floor.

Is a floating floor for you? Installing a floor using the floating method is easier than the traditional method for installing hardwood, which often requires professional installers. If you decide a floating floor is for you, make sure your favorite flooring can be installed as a floating floor, and then follow the manufacturers instructions.

Timber Floor Sanding Sydney

Mirror Floor Sanding can provide clients with a maintenance kit for all types of timber flooring. Below are a few tips for the best way to maintain your Timber Floor.

Timber Floor Maintenance Kit

An effective way to set up your timber floor maintenance is to purchase a Peerless Timber Floor Maintenance Kit which contains all necessary components to keep your floor looking good.

1 x 5 Litre     GEMINI Sealer Finish
1 x 5 Litre     VERSADET Concentrated Cleaner
1                   Premium Grade Mop Head No.20 (for GEMINI application).
1                   Dust Control Mop 35cm (Electrostatic)
1                   Standard Mop Head No.24 (for use with VERSADET)
1                   Extendable Universal Handle

Regular maintenance of your timber floor will extend its life and present the timber consistently at its best. 

The correct care of your floor will require four simple procedures:

   1. Matting
   2. Sweeping
   3. Damp Mopping
   4. Finish Application

Other ways you can help maintain your timber floor are:
  1. Doormats at all exterior doors, to trap dirt and  grit from outdoors, before it gets to your floor.
  2. Get into a habit of checking the soles of your shoes for gravel and grit caught in the treads
  3. All ‘moveable’ pieces of furniture need soft clean pads on the bottom of legs or supports.
  4. Rubber feet on items such as dining room chairs.
  5. Apply floor protector pads to heavy items of furniture.
  6. Always remember to pick up furniture rather than slide it across the floor.
  7. Floor guards enable you to move your appliances forward for servicing without gouging your floor.
  8. Some areas of the house always experience more wear than others (e.g. in front of the sink, stove, or under the office chair use thin non slip protective mats in these areas.
  9. Rugs can be used in high-traffic areas to minimize damage.
  10. Make sure any rugs are always kept clean and dry. Shake them out and vacuum regularly.
  11. High heels concentrate a person’s weight on a small point (60kg person = approx150kg per sq cm when taking a normal step). This kind of force can damage many types of flooring, fracturing ceramic tiles and perforating vinyl, as well as denting wood floors. While high heels in good repair may not damage wood floors, we suggest a ‘no high heel’ policy where practical.
  12. Dog and cat toenails can scratch a wood floor. It is a good idea to trim them regularly and try to contain vigorous play to a carpeted area.
  13. Spills from the food/water bowl are usually no problem if wiped up in good time.
  14. Wood floors are very sensitive to their surrounding climate. Seasonal cracking is a common occurrence. They expand in humid conditions and contract when the air becomes dry, usually due to heating. Using a humidifier or dehumidifier in conjunction with heating/cooling system is recommended, to maintain a constant 30-50% humidity level. This will minimize shrinkage and cracking.
  15. Never place plants directly on a wood floor even if they are in a waterproof saucer. Always use trivets or short stands under the pot and saucer so that air can circulate underneath. This will prevent condensation on the saucer from damaging the wood floor. It will also be easier to see if the plant is over watered or if water has spilled onto the floor.
  16. Many people are shocked when a rug is moved and there is an outline of the rug on the floor. Luckily there is no need to panic. If you remove the rug completely, the color will blend eventually but it will take a while. So be patient! This happens because the sunlight hits one part of the uncovered floor and does not reach the area of floor underneath the rug. This discoloration can be avoided by moving the rug often.
  17. A deep scratch or gouge is not always easy to repair. We recommend consulting Mirror Floor Sanding when the damage exposes the bare wood.
For Natural finishes:

Your Hardwax finish will take about 10 days to reach its maximum strength, both physically and in its moisture repellent properties. Please refrain from mopping the floor for a week or so and take care to soak up anything split on the floor.

Once dry:
  1. Regular use of a broom or vacuum cleaner is sufficient to remove dust and loose dirt. A vacuum cleaner is the easiest and most efficient way of increasing the longevity of a floor finish as it lifts the abrasive particles of sand that grind away at the surface.
  2. For heavier soiling areas use a good timber floor cleaner diluted in water. 25-50ml to 5L of water
  3. Put the solution into a spray bottle and mist the floor, wipe dry with a cloth or flat mop.
  4. Care should be taken not to wet the floor excessively, avoiding penetration of moisture into the joints of the floorboards.
