Home And Office Improvement By Wood Renewal Process

By Eugenia Dickerson


In the home or commercial buildings there is evidence of the various ways wood is beneficial to people. The office and home furniture, some kitchen utensils and even houses are some of the ways this material is used. When it is used as a flooring material, it undergoes treatment to make it resistant to attack by insects. After prolonged use, its appearance changes and the user requires the services of wood renewal professionals to bring back the shiny beautiful floor.

A number of steps are involved in the process of giving furniture a facelift. Surface preparation usually takes the lead which also includes detailing. The technician then will mask the working site to avoid tampering with the unintended portions.

When dealing with wooden floor, thorough sweeping followed by vacuuming is done to get rid of all the dirt and dust particles. It is also important to remove and clean the heat vents; this is also to rid the site of dust. When all the area is cleared then a first coat of putty is applied, care should be taken to ensure the color matches the floor and also ensure all visible gaps and cracks are filled.

The next step involves specialized cleaning where a patented cleaner is used to scrub out any debris around the floor trim. Use of buffer cleaning system helps to reach even the minute pores to remove hidden dirt and dust. After all the cleaning is done, the fan is used to dry the floor. This requires caution to avoid blowing dust particles to the floor.

During the third step, the floor is burnished. This process is done to remove any grain which could have been caused by moisture. The floor is swept and vacuumed again, and then a micro fiber pad is used to ensure that every contaminating material is removed. A final coat is applied at this point. This is more specific on restoring the beauty of the floor because it is done right on the grain by use of color and pigments which suck in the destroyed portions.

The condition of the floor determines how many times the coating is applied. It is possible to have up to three coats. The procedure of applying is to first clean, apply, burnish then dry mostly using a fan. Apart from removing debris, burnishing also helps to leave a uniformed sheen level. After the process is done the finishing coat is dried to seal the floor.

Finally, before leaving, the professional crosschecks his work to be sure his client is happy. A good work done is a sure way of him getting more jobs because the client is able to recommend him to other potential clients. It is important for the professional to advice his client on how to look after his floor which includes the products he can use for cleaning and how to clean the floor to avoid damaging it.

Before contracting an individual for wood renewal services, it is good to ascertain that he has the relevant knowledge and ability to work with a variety of wood types. The task is never an easy one especially in offices that may be extending over a large space requiring a good team work spirit. It is also good to confirm his work permit and accreditation documents.
