is it worth refinishing hardwood floors?

It is absolutely worth it to refinish your floors as there are many benefits to doing so. In some cases you may need to replace your flooring because of damage caused by water, traffic, warping, cupping, crowning and stains. Refinishing your floors is the quickest and easiest way to increase the value of your home aesthetically and monetarily.

how to tell if hardwood floors can be refinished?

Most wood flooring can be refinished, the real question is how many times can your floors be refinished and what type of wooden flooring you have. Some types of wooden flooring such as engineered, have a varying degree of thickness on the wear layer. This wear layer consists of a veneer of real actual wood, with the rest of the plank being a plywood or thinner material underneath. These types of wooden flooring may only be refinished once or twice before there is no real wood left to sand.

what is wooden floor sanding?

Floor sanding removes the previous layer of finish and exposes the bare wood. Sanding removes most of the imperfections on the floor such as scratches, gouges (if not too deep), and most stains (if not too deep). In addition, sanding levels and smooths the floor in preparation for the finishing process.

does sandless wood floor refinishing work?

Sandless wood floor refinishing also known as screening or “buff and recoat”, removes only surface level scratches and is used when you have a floor that is fairly new with the finish layer being in a acceptable condition. Screening does not remove deep scratches, gouges, or stains. Only with a full sanding and refinishing process, will your floors look brand new and refreshed.

can wood floors be refinished?

Most if not all wooden floors can be refinished with the techniques involved, varying slightly between the species of wood. The thickness and type of wood flooring will determine how many times it can be refinished as well. It is important that whoever you hire has experience refinishing or finishing your type of wooden flooring.
