Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will depend on the sort of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to require totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation typically entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
