Floor installation may look like a simple job, however, it’s actually a form of art, which is something that professional installers know very well. Sadly, sanding up some scratches and applying a fresh coat of paint is not that simple to do. Below are some of the secrets you might not be aware of according to the professional installers:  

Sanding is just as challenging as finishing  

You may believe that the most crucial part of refinishing a floor is having an even, nice coat of varnish and stain on your new floor. However, that’s not actually the case. To have all the old varnish and stain removed and sanded could be just as challenging, if not more. If you want to have an even finish as you eliminate imperfection, the floor’s evenness will be depending on how you sand to achieve the ideal levels. In other cases, we might just require to “screen” the wood. Screening involves making the current finish rough rather than eliminating it entirely. A professional can help you examine and help you decide on what would be best for your flooring. 

Inappropriate way of sanding could result in scarring 

Sanding aims to get ready for finishing and, basically, to finalize the floor in advance. But inexperienced sanding could result in extreme problems as it might result in sanding or gouging against the grain, which destroys your boards’ beautiful patterns. 

Dust containment is your major enemy 

A lot of people do not consider dust containment. However, it’s only as crucial as any other portion of the procedure. A workspace, which is not prepared properly could cause dust in each nook and crannies within your properly, furniture fibers and more. Moreover, it is a very difficult task to complete. 

All floorboards are not factory finished 

There are unfinished boards that require treatment in the home to provide you that appealing floor effect. However, this would need a great deal of expertise. Regardless of how great they look on the can, all stains do not go with all wood types. Some stains can cover beautiful grain, while there are also stains that just don’t show off wood that much to create a beautiful effect. To perfectly achieve this, hiring a professional would be better since they know what techniques are required to make sure that your new hardwood will shine bright.
