Step-by-Step Heritage Floor Restoration Process
Holsworthy Barracks
Our Restoration Process
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
Comprehensive assessment to determine the condition and best restoration approach. We treat every project different as each one has a historical significance and environment that would affect which treatment suits the flooring.
2. Customised Restoration Plan:
Glen personally visits each site to assess every detail of the floor – crafting a tailored plan based on the assessment.
3. Preparation and Repair Work
Removing damaged areas and performing necessary repairs.
4. Final Inspection and Touch Ups
Ensuring everything is perfect and performing necessary touch-ups.
7. Polishing
After sanding, we apply a protective layer to the floor. Depending on the type of wood and the desired finish, we might use oils, waxes, or lacquers. This enhances the natural beauty of the wood and protects it from wear and tear, too.
8. Final Inspection
Once the polishing is done, our experts conduct a final inspection. This step ensures that the entire process has been executed with precision and that the floor meets our high standards of quality.
Throughout the floor sanding process, our emphasis remains on attention to detail, meticulousness, and precision. We believe that each floor has its unique character, and our job is to enhance and preserve that character. With Glen Gilbertson Floor Sanding, you can be assured of a floor that’s not just beautiful but also crafted to perfection.
