Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will vary among the form of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the house. In contemporary properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely 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 wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed 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.
