When people want to extend the lifespan of their floors, one of the first points of discussion is wood floor refinishing. While it’s certainly worth your investment, not everyone entirely understands what it really entails and the best match for a given floor. We’ll help clear the air with some key information.
Refinishing is a lot more complex than you may think.
What Is It?
Note that refinishing isn’t just like adding a coat of polish on top of your existing floor. Instead, this is a more complex process that involves sanding off your floor’s top layer, then adding a new coat of finish to create a new full top layer. Depending on the installation, wood refinishing may require a lot of added work, such as grinding down boards that have become uneven, taking floorboards out, and reinforcing planks with some new nails.
Why Is It Vital?
There are quite a few reasons why this practice has become so essential. From a design sensibility, if you ever want to take things to the next level, you need refinishing done. By investing in the right materials, even a worn and torn floor can look like brand new.
Another reason is cost savings. Refinishing costs you a lot less than comparable measures like say, a recarpeting project. In addition, you can go a long time between refinishings. Durability counts for a lot too, even if you have engineered wood flooring. If your floor is over six or seven years, it can help keep it from getting scratched, dented, or damaged. The longer you wait, the more likely it is you will see serious issues that are a lot more expensive to repair.
