One of the key advantages of hardwood flooring is that it can be refinished several times. Other types of flooring, such as carpet, must be replaced when they get damaged or worn out. For homeowners who are thinking about long-term savings, hardwood flooring offers excellent value.
Refinishing wood flooring can be a messy process, but it doesn’t have to be. Barbati Hardwood Flooring offers dust-controlled hardwood floor refinishing that can keep your home clean and minimize disruptions to your family’s routine.
What Is Hardwood Floor Refinishing?
When wood flooring is covered with scratches, dents, or discolored areas, it can be refinished to return it to pristine, like-new condition. The professional wood floor refinishing process has multiple steps:
- Furniture and other belongings are removed from the room to protect them from damage.
- The floor is sanded to remove damaged wood at the surface and reveal a new layer of wood that’s free of imperfections.
- The floor is sanded several more times using progressively finer sandpaper to create a smooth surface.
- Workers apply one or more layers of stain. The floor can be stained with the same color that it previously had, or it can be stained with a different color.
- The floor is covered with a protective finish to minimize the risk of future damage.
As you can imagine, that process can be quite messy. When wood flooring is refinished using traditional methods, dust spreads throughout the house, coats furniture and other surfaces, and gets in closets and drawers. Homeowners must often leave the house while having their wood floors refinished and spend days cleaning up after contractors finish working.
Having dust everywhere can be more than a nuisance. For people with respiratory issues, it can be a health hazard.
How Can You Keep Your House Clean While Having Your Wood Floors Refinished?
With dust-controlled hardwood floor refinishing, industrial-grade vacuums are attached directly to sanders. The vacuums collect dust immediately and prevent it from spreading. That dramatically reduces the amount of cleanup required and helps maintain healthy indoor air quality.
Dust-controlled hardwood floor refinishing doesn’t remove 100% of dust, but it can remove more than 90%. That’s a dramatic improvement compared to traditional methods. With dust-controlled hardwood floor refinishing, there will be less cleanup required, and you’ll be able to stay home while your floors are being refinished.
