Stain on Hardwood Floor
The boards can be replaced but the new boards will have to be sanded down to
the level of the old boards. There is no way they can do this without also sanding the old finish around the area. If you just then refinish that area it will never match the rest of the floor. So if the stain didn't penetrate too far you would just sand and refinish the entire floor. If its bad then you replace the boards and then still sand and refinish the whole floor. "Adam Lane" wrote in message ... Hi there. There's a dark stain on the floor. Maybe the dye in the carpet leached onto the floor when the carpet got wet. I was told it's not possible to just changeout the couple of strips of flooring that are stained. That the replacement pieces won't be color matched, and won't be flush with the rest of the floor. But, rather, we have to remove the stain by sanding the ENTIRE floor until the stain is sanded away. And only be this means will the result be a floor which is color matched, and completely level. To anyone out there that knows about floors, does that sound right to you? I realize it might be a little tricky to replace tounge and groove flooring. But is it really necessary to refinish the whole floor in cases like this?? |
