Restoring original floorboards is far more difficult than anyone can imagine. It is at times like this that it is worthwhile getting in the experts to do the job properly and to a high standard.
When it comes to restoring original hardwood floorboards you really need to know what you are doing and you also need the expertise to know how different types of flooring should be treated and cared for.
Hardwood flooring specialists will be able to examine your hardwood flooring and tell you whether or not it is possible for you to restore the floorboards to their former beauty. They will tell you the best way to sand, treat and stain the floorboards so that they are cleaned, protected and properly maintained. This will ensure that you will get many more years out of your original hardwood floorboards.
The professionals will also have all the necessary tools to do the job properly such as an industrial sander. Sanding floorboards is a very messy and potentially dangerous job. It is best left to the experts. They will then treat the floorboards to prevent the wood from rotting and then the floor will be stained to the colour of your choice. You can then choose to have a varnish which will help to harden the wood.
