Wood Refinishing
It is no secret that a wood floor is a beautiful, natural product that sets it apart from other floor coverings. Although hardwoods add warmth, elegance and long-lasting beauty to virtually any space they do require maintenance and refinishing from time to time.
At Sustainable Interiors, we offer a wide array of wood refinishing options ranging from wet-screening of gymnasiums to sanding, staining, and applying 'bullet-proof' Swedish finishes to any type of wood flooring surface.
One important thing to consider is that preventive maintenance is one of the most important factors in determining the longevity of your wood floor finish, so try these helpful hints:
- Place walk off mats in entry ways and near sink areas to minimize the amount of dirt and water that comes in contact with your floor.
- Check your chair legs and other pieces of furniture and attach felt floor protectors to all furniture that will come in contact with your wood floor.
- Keep high heel shoes in good repair. Heels that have lost their protective caps can cause little indentations in any floor surface (and believe it or not, even in concrete!)
- Do not over-water plants. Soil, fertilizers, and plant foods may have chemicals in them that could damage the finish of your hardwoods.
- Soft rubber (from shoe soles, office furniture, etc.) will leave marks on the floor. Most of these marks can be rubbed out, but should be avoided if at all possible.
