Flooring Renovation

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