The professional sanding is most popular with our clients who have hardwood floors.

It might be splintering or chipping, as any finish or sealant has been worn away. The sanding of the floors can eliminate these signs of use by using right machines and techniques.
Also you should note that there is difference between wood sanding and stone sanding and polishing(the correct term is actually stone floor grinding, however most of the people still call it sanding).

⚠️ Please note that the wood floor and stone floor sanding are a bit different and the process differ.
The wood floor and stone floor sanding are somewhat similar. However they are several key differences between them. The news is that our professional floor restoration service cover both floor types. Here is a short list of the difference:
- Material: The most obvious difference is the type of material that is being sanded. Wood floors are made of natural or engineered wood. While stone floors are made of natural stone such as marble, granite, or limestone. We make sure that our team are trained to sand both type of floors – wood and natural stone ones. As well as man made one – such as concrete and terrazzo sanding.
- Surface finish: Wood flooring is typically finished with a clear coat of varnish or oil-based finish. As the stone flooring is usually finished with a sealer to protect the surface from stains and scratches. There is a difference between the varnish and the sealer, however they provide the same result.
- Equipment used: The tools and equipment used for sanding wood floors are different from those used for sanding stone floors. Wood floor sanding requires belt sanders, edge sanders and rotary sanders. While stone sanding requires diamond-tipped grinding tools. In order to provide the best possible service. Our team teams are supplied with the latest sanding equipment in our industry.
- Sanding process: Wood floor sanding is done in several stages. Starting with a coarse grit paper to remove the old finish. Then medium grit to smooth out the surface. Lastly, fine grit for a smooth finish. Stone sanding typically involves diamond-tipped grinding tools that are used to grind down the surface of the stone in a series of progressively finer grits.
- Aesthetics: Wood flooring offers a warm and natural feel to the space with a wide range of color and finishes options. While stone flooring can add a sense of luxury and elegance to a space. Unfortunately with limited color options for the different types of stone floors.
- Maintenance: Wood floors require regular maintenance to keep them looking good. Such as regular cleaning and occasional sanding and refinishing. Stone floors are relatively low-maintenance, although they should be sealed and resealed periodically to protect the surface. We do floor maintenance service with special pricing for the period booked. Thus we offer service on monthly, quarterly or yearly period.
In addition to our professional expertise, we provide floor gap filling service.
The gap filling is the process of filling in the gaps and cracks that can occur between the boards of a wooden floor. These gaps can be caused by a number of factors such as changes in temperature and humidity, the natural movement of the wood, or the settling of the house.
There are different ways to fill gaps in wooden floors. Our team is capable of filling all kinds of holes. Here are some of the most common methods:
- Wood filler: This is a putty-like substance that is applied to the gaps and then sanded smooth once it has dried. This method can be used to fill small gaps. Thus it may not be suitable for wider gaps.
- Sawdust and adhesive: This method involves mixing sawdust with a wood glue or epoxy and then filling the gaps with the mixture. Once the glue has dried, our team will sand the floor for smooth finish.
- Tongue and groove flooring: This method involves installing new boards with a tongue and groove joint, this way the boards will lock together and fill the gaps.
- Expansion strips: This method involves installing thin strips of wood or plastic along the length of the gap, these strips will help to prevent the gap from getting wider.
It’s important to note that gap filling should be done by a professional as it requires experience and skill to ensure a smooth and even finish. If you are using non professional service your floor may be damaged. Which may resolve in replacing the floor. Which in some cases is pricey.
⚠️ Please note that if the gap is caused by a structural problem. The root cause should be addressed before filling the gap.
