Wooden Floor Prep & Treatment
I know these things can be wide ranging in prices, and its hard to say
without seeing a specific job, however, can anyone give me a very rough estimate of what it might cost me to get my wooden fllors (orginal floorboards) sanded and then treated with a wax/oil/varnish (havent decided yet) by a professional. I have already done this job myself.. using a well known floor varnish which turned out to be crap and so now I am thinking of turning to the professionals! The floor is a hall and dining room and totals approx 30 aquare metres. Thanks for any advice! Tom |

When you have an even finish (the wood no longer soaks up the seal), treat the floor with two coats of a polish such as Johnsons Eternum. This is a water based polish which is applied with a mop. I work in a school and this is the way in which we treat a heavily trafficed wooden assembly hall floor. The treatment lasts for a year. There may be other products which you can use to follow this regime. Malcolm |
