Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What are the indicators or signs that suggest my timber floors are ready for buffing or polishing?
• A: When your timber floors start to appear dull and lackluster even after thorough cleaning, it is usually an indication that they are ready for buffing or polishing. Over time, foot traffic, dust, and wear can cause the protective coating on the floors to wear down, resulting in a diminished shine. If regular cleaning no longer restores the desired luster, it is a good indication that your floors would benefit from buffing or polishing to rejuvenate their appearance. Consulting with a professional timber floor specialist can help assess the condition of your floors and determine the most appropriate course of action to restore their shine.
• Q: What methods can be used to measure the size of an area that needs to be polished, sealed, or buffed?
• A: To measure the size of an area that requires polishing, sealing, or buffing, it is advisable to measure each room or section separately. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width of the room by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in 6 square meters (6m²). This approach ensures accurate measurements for estimating materials, planning tasks, and achieving the desired results in the surface treatment process.
• Q: What are some effective measures to maintain the appearance of timber floors and keep them looking new?
• A: To maintain the appearance of your timber floors and keep them looking new, there are several measures you can take. Firstly, using doormats at entrances can help prevent dirt, grit, and moisture from being tracked onto the floor. Regularly sweeping or vacuuming the floors is also important to remove any loose dirt and debris that can cause scratches over time. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish of the timber. Instead, use a gentle cleaning solution specifically formulated for timber floors. It is also advisable to promptly clean up any spills or accidents to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood and causing damage. Lastly, consider using furniture pads or felt protectors under the legs of furniture to prevent scratches and dents when moving or rearranging items. By following these basic precautions and implementing a regular cleaning routine, you can help preserve the appearance and longevity of your timber floors.
• Q: What steps should I take to prepare for wood polishing, sealing, or buffing?
• A: To prepare for wood polishing, sealing, or buffing, it is important to ensure that all furniture and items are moved off the floor before the professionals arrive. This step is crucial as it allows the technicians to have unobstructed access to the entire surface that requires treatment. By clearing the area of furniture and items, you enable the technicians to work efficiently and effectively, ensuring a thorough and even application of the polishing, sealing, or buffing process. Additionally, removing furniture and items from the floor helps to prevent any potential damage to these belongings during the treatment. So, prior to the scheduled appointment, make sure to move all furniture and items off the floor to ensure a smooth and successful wood treatment session.
• Q: What is the average time frame for polishing or resealing timber floors?
• A: The time required to polish or reseal timber floors can vary depending on the size of the area. On average, the process can take approximately 4 to 6 hours. With the use of modern equipment and techniques, our team strives to complete the work within the same day to minimize any inconvenience of multiple appointments.
