It depends upon the thickness of your hardwood layer but the fact is that 95 % of hardwood surfaces are never refinished. With the high quality finishes that are offered and the extensive process that refinishing a floor entails, damaged areas are often removed professionally. If sanding is desired, typically, the professional sanding procedure removes 1/32 of an inch. Thus if your floor has a 2mm layer you can sand the floor 1-2 times.

Yes. Most engineered floors, whether plank, strip or the Longstrip-type, can be refinished at least once and some can be refinished up to three times, depending upon the thickness of the top layer of hardwood. In fact, Tarkett offers a refinishing warranty on all but one of its engineered floors. This means the floor can be sanded and refinished up to three times, depending on the product, when the job is performed correctly by a professional floor refinisher.

All hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished at least once and as often as three times. The exact number depends upon the total thickness of the product or the thickness of the top layer of premium hardwood, as in an engineered product. With this process, the contractor sands the entire finish off the floor, and then begins to rebuild the finish surface. This procedure can take up to four days, depending upon the size of the space.

When your floor begins to look worn, dull and/or scratched it may be time for a recoat or refinish. A simple test to indicate which process you need done, is to pour a tablespoon or two of water onto your floor. If the water beads, your floor is simply a little dirty or tarnished from wear and tear. The solution in this case is just some cleaning and stain removal or a recoat (read FAQ #19).

Yes, however, Armstrong is not in the refinishing business, therefore, we do not have specifications on how this should be done.

Voyageur Flooring we offer a “dust-control” service by taping off the refinish area during the sanding process with plastic.

We can come close to matching your old floor's color and shine, but we cannot match the old floor exactly. Due to the natural ambering of the polyurethane and the darkening of wood with age, exact matches are not possible. It will be necessary for the homeowner to be present while attempting to match a stain color and a signature of approval will be required.

Leveraging a partnership with a local storage business, Voyageur Flooring will deliver a portable storage unit to your house one week before the sanding/installation of your hardwood floor for you to use as storage. After the work on the hardwood floor is completed, you will have one week to move your things back in, at which point we will remove the portable storage unit from your driveway. We offer this option as a part of our “regular” services to customers.

Voyageur Flooring, we use only the best products available. Because of this you can expect the finish on your hardwood floor to last from 7-10 years.

For comparison, most hardwood floor companies use products that will last between 3-5 years.

No. Our MP765 coating can refinished with a quick manual scuff-sand (220grit) and then two coats of our MP765 water-base varnish. Let it dry overnight before subjecting it to regular foot traffic and you are done!

We do not recommend refinishing an older ski. If the ski has been badly damaged or neglected we don't recommend using it. If you intend on using it, you can touch up the spots where bare wood is exposed by lightly sanding the spot and applying an exterior urethane based product, isolating the bad spots with masking tape. We have found that refinishing a ski makes it thinner, more flexible, and more likely to break. Old skis are already more brittle than their newer counterparts.

No. It is not that I cannot refinish furniture, rather I chose not to. Everybody is not great at everything, so stick to what I do best.

Since KwikDek is prefinished with a natural finish, you need only put a wood penetrating oil, like linseed oil, on the surface once a year to maintain its appearance.

The pelvic floor is a "sling" of muscles which support the abdominal organs, including the uterus, urinary bladder the urethra, and the rectum. It normally tightens to help control the release of urine from the bladder, but can become weakened through childbirth or obesity, or become thinner through lowering of estrogen levels after menopause. This weakening is often associated with stress incontinence.

I generally don't repaint metal or refinish wood for a number of reasons. The main reason is that it's not original anymore. If it only has a few minor scratches or scuffs, it's better to leave it alone. Painting metal with a paint can or sprayer just doesn't cut it as the paint is going to come off. If I do paint something, it will be powder coated at a local factory and heated to 500 degrees. Same thing with wood. Most are simulated or veneers and if they have normal wear, I leave them alone.

It really depends on the size of the job, however the average size job (800-1000 sq ft) usually takes us 2 days to complete.

average’ sized home in Vancouver usually consists of a living room, dining room a couple of bedrooms and a hallway and entrance.

If things go well we usually can have the first coat on at the end of the day. The next two days we apply the second and third coats of finish.

This is a tough one because the coating on the Midnight's pipes is a ceramic, not truly a chrome finish. The best I've found is a company called Jet-Hot Coatings. They coat both in the outside AND the inside of the pipes/mufflers with a black ceramic that is not quite as shiny as the OEM finish but is much harder and longer lasting. Yes, it is shiny, but as much as original. Jet-Hot can be reached on the web at http://www.jet-hot.com or call them at (800) 432-3379.
