Step 1: Preparing the Floor

Before we dive into the restoration process, we meticulously prepare the rooms and floor for sanding. This involves sealing off all areas, setting up our advanced dustless equipment, sweeping, vacuuming, addressing protruding nails and attending to necessary repairs.

Step 2: Removing Old Finish

We deploy our specialised sanding machinery to strip away the existing finish. Employing a methodical crosscut technique, we flatten the surface, returning it to its raw wooden state. This meticulous process incorporates multiple passes using various sandpaper grits starting from 40 grit and up. Our arsenal includes a range of sanding tools such as belt sanders, edger sanders and hand scrapers. (Learn more about our effective dust containment system below.)

Step 3: Vacuuming & Filling

Once the floor is stripped, we fill any remaining nail holes with matching putty. This step involves extensive vacuuming to ensure a pristine surface. While we regret that we're unable to fill gaps between boards in Toowoomba's timber floors due to significant seasonal variations, we have outlined which floors can and cannot use putty/filler in this guide.

Step 4: Refining with Fine Sanding

Moving on, we enter the delicate sanding phase. As the initial sandpaper used for finish removal leaves behind scratches and fillers, a sequence of finer sandpaper is meticulously employed to eliminate imperfections and achieve a flawlessly smooth floor.

Step 5: Thorough Vacuuming

At this stage, rigorous vacuuming takes precedence. Ensuring the removal of any lingering floor debris is crucial to prevent contamination in subsequent steps.

Step 6: Water-Pop and Stain (Optional)

Should you opt to alter the floor's colour, this multi-step process begins with water-popping to prepare for staining. Following this, your chosen stain/colour is meticulously applied.

Step 7: Applying the Finish

Your floors are now primed for coating. Depending on your chosen finish system, this phase entails either one or three coats, applied through rolling or buffing. With our multi-coat systems, each coat undergoes abrasion, followed by thorough vacuuming and tacking. After completion, your floors require drying time. Typically, they are ready for walking the next day. A comprehensive site inspection is conducted for quality assurance. Final cleanup includes restoring removed items like vents and doors. We advise cautious use for a few days to ensure the floors fully dry and cure.
