NWFA Calls Wood Floors Renewable Option for Consum
St. Louis, MO, April 15--The National Wood Flooring Association reminds industry professionals that real wood flooring is the only flooring option available that can be renewed time and time again.
When other flooring options start looking tired and worn, they need to be removed and replaced. This creates a real burden on landfills, as well as checkbooks. But with real wood floors, restoring floors to their original luster is easy and affordable.
Throughout the years, wood floors will experience subtle color changes. This is a natural process called patina that will add to the beauty and character of the floor. Over time, however, the finish on wood floors can become dull. With a process called pad and recoat, you can renew your wood floors to their original beauty and luster without sanding.
Using the pad and recoat process, a wood flooring professional first will clean wood floors thoroughly using a professional cleaning product specifically designed for the type of wood floor. Then, the floor will be buffed lightly to abrade the surface of the floor.
With the new dustless systems available to wood flooring professionals, there is minimal dust or other debris created during this process. Next, the floor will be cleaned to remove all residue. Finally, a new finish will be applied to the floor, giving existing floors new life, added protection, and renewed luster. In most cases, the floors can be used again within 48 hours.
