Parquet Floor Sanding

As a professional parquet floor sanding company in London, we understand the importance of ensuring that your floors not only look great but also feel great under your feet. Sanding a parquet floor is a delicate process that requires specialised tools and expertise. The outcome of this labour-intensive job can determine how long your floor will last, so it's crucial to get it right.

Parquet floors are a true testament to craftsmanship and talent, making parquet floor sanding one of the most challenging projects in the industry. The intricate patterns of parquet flooring require precision and skill to avoid potential damage.

Sanding against the grain of the wood can result in scratches, discolouration, warping, or cracks. Our professionals are well-versed in the techniques and direction of sanding required to protect your parquet floors. We use highly specialised sandpaper designed specifically for parquet floors to ensure exceptional results.

In addition to technical expertise, the selection of the right coating plays a vital role in successful parquet floor sanding. Our experienced professionals understand which coatings work best for different environments and foot traffic levels. We choose products that not only protect your hardwood floors but also enhance their natural beauty while allowing them to breathe naturally over time. Our knowledge and experience ensure that your parquet floors receive the care they deserve.

Parquet floors require expert skill and care to be successfully sanded and restored. When sanding parquet flooring, we utilise the right equipment, such as an orbital floor sander with fine-grit sandpaper.

This approach prevents cross-grain scratches and marks that can be challenging to remove. Our professionals apply precise pressure during the sanding process to avoid damaging the wood blocks. To achieve perfect results and a sleek appearance, we work in small sections at a time, ensuring no spots are missed throughout the process.

Regular vacuuming is essential for maintaining parquet floors, as it prevents dirt buildup between each block that can cause damage over time. Additionally, we recommend regular waxing using high-quality waxes to preserve the beauty and durability of your parquet floors.

Parquet Floor Staining & Sealing

Staining and sealing the floor are essential steps that follow the final round of sanding. Sanding prepares the wood's pores for better absorption of the staining product, ensuring a beautiful finish that also provides protection from within. With proper parquet floor sanding, any small imperfections on the surface of your floors will be eliminated, allowing for even and uniform application of the staining products.

When selecting a staining product, it's crucial to choose one that is compatible with your floor's surface and environment. The stain should be durable and long-lasting, protecting your floor from wear and tear over time. After applying the stain, we use a sealer to enhance its protection. The sealant acts as an extra layer against water damage, spills, dirt, and dust accumulation. We recommend allowing your floors to cure completely before regular use, ensuring they remain in their best condition for years to come.

Parquet Floor Sanding Process

Our parquet floor sanding process begins with a thorough inspection of the area to assess the best approach for each situation. We then prepare the space by cleaning and vacuuming to remove all dirt particles before sanding begins. Our professionals use a range of professional machinery, including handheld belt sanders, orbital sanders, and palm sanders, tailored to the size and shape of the room.

Using a dust extraction system, we ensure all debris is cleared away before applying several layers of finishing materials, including wood filler, primer, and sealer. Each layer is evenly spread, paying close attention to detail to achieve a smooth finish.

During the sanding process, we delicately sand down the surfaces in circular motions, removing any scratches or marks left behind from previous treatments or installations. Precision is crucial during this stage to avoid damage that may require additional wood floor repairs or maintenance. Once the surfaces are level, clean, and even in texture, we apply final finishing coats, such as protective varnish or wax polish, to provide an extra shine and long-lasting protection against water damage and regular wear-and-tear.

The result is a beautiful-looking parquet floor with increased durability, thanks to our meticulous treatment and craftsmanship.
