Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will vary among the kind of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to require entirely changing the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation 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 substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.
