Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend on the variety of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In modern properties with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally exchanging the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration usually 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 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.
