Sanding & Sealing

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE AT BONDSTICK WILL ADVISE ALL FLOOR OWNERS TO USE A REPOITED FLOOR SANDING COMPANY BEFORE TAKING ON A FLOOR BY YOURSELF , PLEASE CONTACT US FOR NAMES OF REPOITEABLE COMPANIES IF NEED BE.

To get the maximum life span and pleasure from your floor, we have to preserve the appearance as best as possible and allow it to age properly.
That is why we sand a wooden floor!

A good treatment is only as good as the preparation of the surface, i.e. sanding of the floor. The most expensive sealer in the world cannot cover up a bad sanding job.

Old or new a wooden floor needs to be treated in the same basic way.
A 3 phase sanding of

  • 1 rough sand 24 – 40 grit
  • 2 medium sand 60 – 80 grit
  • 3 fine sand 100 – 120 grit

The basic concept is a rough sanding to level out the floor, this is were experience counts with a rough paper.

Second, sand with a medium sandpaper to get rid of all sanding marks or other imperfections that might still be visible.

The last sand of fine paper is to get the wood as smooth as needed for your sealer and to have no sanding marks left on the floor, which will only show up after sealing if the job was not done properly.

The sanding of the floor depends on various factors, such as the type of wood, age of floor and how the floor was laid or installed.

Once the optimum sanding has been achieved the sealing can take place, this area of wooden floors is not a simple case of putting on a lick of sealer.
There are numerous factors to consider once you have chosen your sealer things like:

  • climatic conditions? ,
  • applicator that will be used,
  • amount of finish needed?
  • moisture content of the wood
  1. The Basic method of sealing a floor will be that of firstly making sure the floor is spotless , no dust or dirt anywhere.
  2. Apply the first coat of your sealer using the recommended applicator, and at the recommended rate of coverage.
  3. Once the first coat is dry enough to recoat, this varies from product to product, give the floor a light hand sand or buff and then repeat the process again.
  4. Then apply the final coat of dealer and allow the floor to dry for a minimum of 24hrs before any normal traffic goes on the floor.

Care & Maintenance
This can be broken up into 3 groups:
1. preventive measure

Here we consider things like dirt, grit, water, high heel shoes etc.
The most effective way of tackling these problems are simple things like mats, signs.

So people are aware of what you are trying to achieve or they, dirt etc are a major concern on wooden floor, if unchecked they become a very effective sandpaper abrasive on the floor.
Remember large matt so people cannot step over them!

 

2. daily cleaning

All floors can be approached the same way.

Firstly sweep all loose dirt, dust etc off the floor then with the recommended cleaning agent mixed appropriately with water the floor is cleaned, avoiding too much water on the floor and making sure all the water is sucked up off the floor
And lastly make sure the cleaning agent is not to alkaline.



3. regular maintance

This is only done later in the life span of the floor but is still very important.

This is basically done when the floor is looking a bit worse for wear and has lost some of its glory.

There are 2 approaches firstly you can apply a fresh up product this is only suited for certain floor sealers.
Secondly another coat of the sealer is applied to the floor, this can only be achieved if the floor has been cleaned properly and the buffed /hand sanded and a coat is applied.
