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 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. However, it's important to note that the actual duration may vary depending on the specific conditions and requirements of your timber floors.
• Q: Is it safe to damp mop a wood floor?
• A: When it comes to cleaning a surface-finished wood floor, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. In general, using a dampened mop that is nearly dry is safe for maintaining a wood floor. However, it is crucial to avoid excessive moisture, as standing water can cause damage. Excessive water can dull the finish, harm the wood, and leave behind a discolored residue. If any water spills on the wood floor, it is essential to promptly wipe it up with a clean cloth to prevent any potential damage. By using caution and ensuring that the mop is not overly wet, you can safely damp mop your wood floor to maintain its cleanliness and appearance.
• 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 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.
