Guide to Refinishing

Hardwood flooring is a beatiful and natural product that, no matter how damaged, can generally be refinished to look like new and add value to your home. Whether you have had wood floors for a long time or just discovered them under old carpet, refinishing them is the most effective change you could make in your home. Refinishing hardwood floors is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood and a great way to increase the value of your living space or simply have a new look.

Common Hardwood Floor Damages:

  • dull and worn finish from years of use
  • scuff marks and scratched finish from furniture
  • water and pet stains from spills and pets
  • deep gouges and grain noise from heavy traffic
  • build up from improper maintenance products like wax or wood polish

How to Choose the Right Floor

1. Where is your hardwood floor going?

The first thing you need to find out is your existing sub-floor. Usually the floor at ground level and above is plywood. Below ground level in concrete. Anything that you may have on top of that like: carpet, vinyl or ceramic is removable. Once you know your sub-floor you start choosing hardwood floor type, that is right for your needs.

2. What is the floor going over?

Over plywood:
- solid wood
- engineered 
- laminate
Over concrete:
- engineered 
- laminate 
- parquet

3. What is your wood and colour choice?

There are many wood species that have many different colour tones and grain patterns, that could match any decor. If you can't find a colour you are looking for, than you'll have to customize it through staining.

Stain selections:

Stain-300 Stain-300 Stain-300 Stain-300
