Wood floor buffing is a vital maintenance task that not only enhances the appearance of your floors but also protects and prolongs their life. Investing in regular buffing services ensures your hardwood flooring remains beautiful and functional for years. If you have any questions about the buffing process or would like to schedule a service, please feel free to reach out. Your satisfaction and the longevity of your flooring are our top priorities.
The process is similar to that of sanding but much more simplified. A fine grit pad is placed on the buffing machine to key into the surface lightly and work across the floor.
Once all areas have been worked on, the floor is thoroughly hoovered so all loose particles are removed. The floor is then re-coated with oil or lacquer.
This process is often prevalent in busy families with children or pets and in high-traffic areas.
Maintenance is of the utmost importance for Oiled floors, and buffing should be undertaken every 2 years. We suggest every 3-4 years for lacquered floors to keep on top of light scratches and renew the finish for protection.
As part of our service and commitment to our customers, we will contact you and remind you when the recommended time comes to complete your buffing.
Wood floor buffing is a maintenance process designed to restore and enhance the appearance of hardwood flooring. It involves using a specialized floor buffer equipped with a polishing pad to gently polish the surface of the wood, removing minor scratches and scuffs while bringing back its natural shine. Buffing can be performed on various finishes, including polyurethane, oil-based, and waxed coatings.
Why is Wood Floor Buffing Important?
Cost-Effective Maintenance:
Compared to a complete sanding and refinishing job, which can be disruptive and expensive, buffing is a more affordable option for maintaining the beauty and integrity of your floors. It’s a quick process that often can be completed in just a few hours, allowing you to enjoy your space without lengthy interruptions.
Restoration of Shine:
Over time, wood floors can lose their lustre due to foot traffic, dirt, and everyday wear and tear. Buffing helps to revitalize the floor’s finish, giving it a like-new shine that enhances the overall aesthetic of your space.
Minimization of Scratches and Scuffs:
Regular foot traffic and furniture movement can lead to scratches and scuffs on your floor’s surface. Buffing effectively smooths these imperfections, creating a more uniform appearance and extending the life of your flooring.
Enhanced Protection:
A well-buffed wood floor is visually appealing and better protected against the elements. Buffing can help restore the protective layer on the surface, making it more resistant to dirt, dust, and moisture.
Prolongs Floor Lifespan:
Regular maintenance, including buffing, can significantly extend the lifespan of hardwood floors. By addressing minor imperfections and maintaining the finish, you reduce the need for more extensive repairs or refinishing, which can be costly and time-intensive.
