Refinishing

Many people have beautiful hardwood hidden underneath their carpets, and even more people have exposed hardwood that has dulled and is unattractive. For those with existing hardwood, sanding and refinishing the floors is a great way to revitalize an old floor.

Hardwood can be sanded down to the raw wood (removing 1/32" to 1/16" of the top layer of your hardwood floor) and refinished with sealing coats of polyurethane. The sanding brings out the original beauty in the wood, while the polyurethane seals and protects the floor, providing a long lasting finish.

Sanding and refinishing a floor is the best way to revitalize a floor, mainly because it is not very expensive, and the results turn out beyond expectation!

Some people opt to stain their floors a darker color, such as mahogany. The staining process is done before the polyurethane, and usually lasts until the floors are sanded again. We offer different types of stain to our customers, but can also create custom stains if you are looking for something unique.

Unlike most flooring products, hardwood is very durable, and carries a long life. However, sanding the floors is not an infinite process, and it is possible to "run out" of sandings. This is normally evident when you can see the installer's nails appearing between the boards of the floor. This is a good sign your floors cannot be sanded again.

Stain

We at Father & Son Flooring are proud to be able to make custom stains for our clients. It should be noted that STAINS VARY ACCORDING TO THE WOOD SPECIES, it is impossible to duplicate any sample 100%.

Dry time & Cure

Allow the stain approximately 8 hours to dry overnight. NOTE: Drying time will be increased by high humidity, low temperature, and lack of air movement or incomplete removal of excess stain.

Maintenance

Regularly remove dust and dirt by sweeping or vacuuming. Periodic buffing will renew luster. Exceptionally worn areas may require an additional finish coat. Maintain floors sealed only with DURA SEALT Penetrating Finish with DURA SEALT Renovator Cleaner and Reconditioner.
