Hardwood floor refinishing process

Refinishing hardwood floors is a process whereas thin layers of solid wood are removed through sanding. To minimize the dusty mess caused by sanding, Fabricio Hardwood Floor uses professional dustless sanders. Solid hardwood floors can usually be refinished several times in their lifespan. That’s not the case with engineered wood floors that have a very thin top layer that can only be refinished a couple of times maximum. Refinishing hardwood floors is a three-step process that involves sanding, staining and buffing. Each step is as important as the other to ensure the best result possible.

1. Sanding

The goal of the sanding process is to remove the top layers of wood to remove wood stain, scratches, indentations and defects on the floor that arose from normal wear and tear. Using different grit levels will create a smooth surface onto which a stain color will ultimately be applied.

Sanding is a natural approach to removing the surface of hardwood floors as compared to using harsh chemicals to strip older finish. Depending on the type of sanders used, sanding hardwood floors can create a dusty mess. This is especially inconvenient as dust can enter air ducts, electrical outlets, and collect on fabrics and other surfaces. Thankfully, professional hardwood floor refinishing companies like Fabricio Hardwood Floors use dustless sanders that sucks and contains dust to minimize / eliminate any mess.

2. Stain Application

Once the wood floor has been professionally sanded and vacuumed to remove dust particles, it’s time to apply a wood stain. Fabricio Hardwood Floors offers several stains colors to choose from. If the hardwood floor will be refinished the same color it was before, our flooring specialist can assist in selecting a stain color that closely match the original floor color. Once the stain has been applied, several coats of high quality urethane are applied to protect the wood floor and increase its durability. A sealant will also be applied to provide some water resistance.

3. Buffing

Before the final coat is applied, Fabricio Hardwood Floors will buff the floor after the wood stain has been applied to remove any final imperfections. If you plan to keep your wood floor the same original color, it may not be necessary to fully refinish it. If your floor has become dull / lack luster, but has no major dents or scratches and no discoloration, it might be possible to bring back its luster with buffing and the application of a polyurethane coat. This option will take less time and will cost less than fully refinishing your floors.
