Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will vary among the form of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration commonly involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
