Parquet Floor Sanding

Parquet floor refinishing is often called the highest form of art and craftsmanship in the professional field and there is no wonder why. It requires a lot of dedication and commitment to success, a lot of caution and attention to details, of course, a lot of knowledge and experience. While some professionals simply choose to not offer it as a service, we are those experienced and talented experts, who are not afraid of a bit of challenge. This is why we undertook this parquet sanding and refinishing project you will see on the pictures below.

 

First of all, we simply love parquet flooring for its complex and aristocratic beauty and elegance, and we highly believe that every parquet floor should be handled with care and love. Second of all, there is no better feeling in the world than seeing how impressed and satisfied clients are with the final results. At first, they leave us with a parquet floor that has seen better days. Due to high traffic and everyday use, the floorboards experienced wear and tear, the top finish layer is aged, scratched, dull, and generally not that strong to offer utmost protection. Here is what we have done to refresh the look and improve the condition.

 

 

Considering the poor condition of the floor, we started things off by taking care of some damages and imperfections. We made sure to check the condition of all floor blocks and refitted and fixed in place the ones that were loose. By this, we ensured the stability and lasting power of the floor. Next, in order to add up to parquet’s durability and solidness, but also improve its visually and ensure a great insulation, we filled in all the gaps that occur with time and when a wooden floor is ageing. Only after ensuring the surface and the entire structure of the floor is ideally strong and not struggling with issues, we can continue with the sanding and refinishing treatments.

 

Parquet floor sanding is dedicated to removing all the smaller imperfections and issues on the floor’s surface along with the old layer of finish. In the case with parquet, due to the complexity of the patterns, the risk of sanding against the grain and damaging the floor blocks is pretty high, this is why it should be done by an experienced professional only. Once the floor is sanded and completely smooth, we continue with applying layers of lacquer finish on top for extra protection. In addition, lacquer finishes and their glossiness ties up perfectly with the whole theme of parquet flooring – effortless beauty, classic style that never goes out of fashion.
