Floor Sanding Farnham

If you have a dent on your wood floor

1. You can see that there are clear marks that look like they may have been caused by a stiletto heal.

2. In order to allow the wood to return to its original shape, you will have to remove any layers of paint or varnish and then slightly roughen up the surface with some fine sandpaper.

3. Turn on the iron and wait until it has warmed up completely meanwhile soak a tea towel in some water until it is wet, but not dripping. Then place the towel onto the area with the dents. Make sure the towel is flat and has no folds in it. With the hot iron, carefully rub over the area of the towel under which the dint you want to remove is. Only do this for a second or two at a time and make sure that the towel is always damp so that enough steam can develop to penetrate the wood. Keep checking the area and repeat the process as necessary until the wood grain has risen.

4. You will now have to let the area you’ve been working on dry thoroughly. You can see that the darker area is wet where the steam has penetrated the wood. The lighter area hasn’t been sanded and therefore the steam can’t penetrate the varnish. When it’s completely dry, give it another quick sand (always in direction of the grain) with some fine sandpaper.
5.The last step is to reseal the surface. In our case, the floor was covered in clear varnish which now just needs touching up.

Engineered wood floors from other side are also real wood floors made by using multiple wood or wood composite veneers. The veneers can be from the same or from different wood species. It have a great stability because the grain of each veneer runs in different direction. This mean that the wood will resist expanding and contracting during fluctuations in humidity and temperature which is really making it wide usable.
