Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend upon the form of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the home. In contemporary properties with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of totally changing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation often 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 replaced, 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.
