What is Sand Finishing?
Sand finishing is a precision abrasive blasting technique that uses a fine, granular medium to create a uniform, matte surface. Unlike traditional sandblasting, which is often used for heavy-duty rust and paint removal, sand finishing is a gentler process. It's ideal for achieving a consistent texture, deburring parts, and giving products a clean, finished look without damaging the underlying material.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hardwood Floor Sand Refinishing
What is sand refinishing for floors?
Sand refinishing is the process of restoring a hardwood floor to its original beauty. It involves sanding away the old finish and a thin layer of the wood to remove scratches, dents, and stains. After the sanding is complete, a new stain (if desired) and a protective finish are applied to the bare wood.
How is sand refinishing different from a "screen and recoat" service?
A sand refinishing job is a full restoration, removing all existing finish and wood imperfections. It's necessary for floors with deep scratches, significant wear, or those you want to change the color of. A "screen and recoat" is a less invasive process that only lightly abrades the top layer of the existing finish, making it suitable for floors with minor surface scuffs but no deep damage.
What are the benefits of refinishing my hardwood floors?
Refinishing can dramatically improve the look of your home, restore worn-out floors and remove years of damage. It also adds a fresh protective layer, which increases the durability and longevity of your floors. This can significantly increase your home's value and appeal.
How long does the refinishing process take?
The timeline for a refinishing project depends on the size of the area, the type of finish being used, and the extent of the damage. A typical project for a standard-sized room can take anywhere from 2 to 5 days, including drying time between coats of finish. We will provide a detailed schedule during your consultation.
Is the process messy? What about the dust?
Modern sand refinishing uses advanced dust containment systems to minimize the mess. While it's not a completely "dust-free" process, our equipment captures most airborne dust, keeping your home as clean as possible. We also take precautions like sealing off rooms to prevent dust from traveling.
How many times can a hardwood floor be refinished?
Most solid hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished multiple times, typically between 4 to 10 times, depending on the thickness of the floorboards and the depth of previous sanding. Our team can assess the condition of your floor and determine if it is a good candidate for refinishing.
How should I prepare my home for the refinishing process?
To prepare for refinishing, you will need to completely clear the room of all furniture, rugs, and wall hangings that could be affected by dust or vibration. We can discuss other specific preparations during your consultation to ensure a smooth process.
How do I care for my newly refinished floors?
We will provide you with detailed care instructions. It's crucial to allow the finish to cure properly before placing furniture or allowing heavy foot traffic. We'll also advise you on the best cleaning products and practices to maintain the beauty of your floors for years to come.
