Very few home improvements make such an immediate impact as a beautiful real wood floor, with the warmth and quality that only real wood provides. But if your old wooden floor is well worn and scratched, it can be a very expensive option to consider ripping it up and replacing it.
These days a far simpler option is to consider renovation of your existing floor and perhaps save time, expense, and the hassle of replacement — while still getting the wow factor back.
Local floor sanding expert Malcolm Cooney, of the Ultimate Floor Sanding Company, gave us a few more things to consider regarding floor sanding and refurbishment: “The most important thing to realise about the very latest equipment is that it is a dust free process, people still have a misconception that floor sanding is a very dirty activity, but providing you use a reputable company, this is just not the case. Another benefit of floor sanding, is that it is a lot quicker and more cost effective than ripping up and disposing of an old floor and installing a new one. Generally a well polished and finished old floor will also look better than newly installed factory prefinished floor boards.”
Cooney added: “Of course re-sanding and finishing an old floor also has the environmental benefits of not chopping down new trees and the latest floor finishes are all low chemical safe products — so you can have the added benefit of knowing that you are considering the environment as well when you refurbish.”
Certainly in these value for money and eco conscious times quality refurbishment is an option well worth consideration. Malcolm Cooney of the Ultimate Floor Sanding Company can be contacted on 1890 252 383, www.ultimatefloorsanding.com or e-mail info@ultimatefloorsanding.
