Floor Sanding Rathfarnham | Top Quality Floor Refinishing Services
Let`s start by telling you that all semi solid and hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished. Not all can be stained with the same stains for a number of reasons but we can promise you that if your floor is made from real wood and it was never sanded before, we can fully restore it for you. Most people who hire the services of Floor Sanding Rathfarnham opt for a clear lacquer or a stain and then a clear lacquer.
Pricing
A floor sanding project is not like a window cleaning project. You just add how many windows you have and you will find out the price. For a floor to be quoted fairly and without mistakes, the floor sanding specialist has to drop by and have a look at it. There are a number of factors that can dramatically increase or decrease the final price:
Size | Bigger the floor, lower the rate per square meter and vice versa. The standard rate per square meter will only apply on floors that are 20+ sq meters. It is not worth it for a professional floor sanding company like Floor Sanding Rathfarnham to do a project of 5 sq meter on a rate per square meter. The final bill won`t cover the costs.
Condition | Another essential factor is the condition of the wood. Some wood floors are highly uneven and in need of serious sanding. Each sanding belt costs money and the entire project will take much longer if the floor is uneven
Finish Required | The finish required can add a lot to the final bill. If the floor is in great shape, is over 20 sq meters and has to be varnished with a clear lacquer, there is one price. But if the floor has to be stained in a different colour, gap filled, repaired and then sealed, the price will go up.
Access | Some floors, especially in apartments, are hard to access and the time to do it is very tight. If the floor sanding specialist is likely to have to carry the machines up a number of flights of stairs and only work at specific times, the price is likely to increase.
Floor Sanding Rathfarnham will drop by your home and in a matter of minutes we will inform you about what is possible or what is not possible to do on your own floors and we will discuss all the possible options with you. All our prices are inclusive of VAT and the quote will stay valid for 6 months.
Finishes
What makes your floor radiant and special is the finish that is on it. Unlike other floor sanding contractors, Floor Sanding Rathfarnham uses some of the most advanced water based floor finishes from Tover, Chimiver, Bona, Junckers and Saicos. Everything that we are likely to use on your floors is top quality, high traffic, non yellowing and natural looking.
Sanders | Floor Sanding Rathfarnham uses the latest floor sanding technology from Lagler and Bona. We will sand your old floors and remove all pre-existing finishes without generating any dust. There is no major cleaning needed and your home won`t be covered in dust.
Repairs | If your semi solid or hardwood floors are in need of some repairs, we can do it for you. We can source some wood floors or if you prefer, you can source it and we will install it for you. Usually, floor repairs are not included in the standard price but it can be done at additional cost.
Gap Fillers | The gaps between the floorboards were usually handy when the houses of Ireland were heated with coal. Over the past few years most of the house had central heating installed so the gaps are pointless. The gaps create draft, gather dirt and if they are located on the upstairs floors, any liquid that leaks, will stain the downstairs ceiling. Floor Sanding Rathfarnham uses a mixture of solvent based gap fillers and water based gap fillers to mix it up with the wood dust generated from your own floors and then uses the composition to fill up the gaps. It looks just like the wood and has great flexibility.
Wood Stains | We are the masters of wood staining in Ireland. Our company uses the entire Chimiver and Tover range of wood stains. We can create unique colours and mix up colours to match pre-existing finishes or old floors. Our wood stains are oil based and require overcoating with a two pack water based floor lacquer.

Types Of Floors We Restore
While we can sand and restore pretty much any type of hardwood floors, some types of floors are much more popular than others. Most of the old Georgian houses have pine floors or red deal floors. If the floors were under a carpet or under a laminated floor, they are likely red deal. The oak floors are next in popularity. Solid oak and engineered oak floors.
The red deal floors and the oak floors are very easy to stain, wax, repair and lacquer. The maple floors are very popular as well. These floors are not great to stain but are very durable. Walnut, cherry and teak floors are much rarer floors because of the high price. Most people usually keep these floors natural. The bamboo, larch, birch, beech and mahogany are not as popular but we do encounter them on occasion.
Semi Solid Floors | 1-3 sandings based on the thickness of the wood
Hardwood Floors | Over 10 sandings, also based on the condition of the wood
