Sanding and Refinishing for a Fresh Look
Natural Finish in Chicago was the main focus of this hardwood floor renovation project. Customer S.S. wanted a refresh of their 910 sq ft hardwood floors. Our team worked on sanding and refinishing the floors, ensuring a smooth surface and a durable finish. The goal was to restore the natural beauty of the hardwood without any staining or color change, which would enhance the grain and texture of the wood.
Sanding Process: Preparing the Surface for Refinishing
Sanding is a crucial step in hardwood floor refinishing. For S.S.’s 910 sq ft of hardwood floors, we carefully sanded the wood to remove any imperfections, old finishes, and dirt. This process gave the wood a smooth, even surface, which allowed the polyurethane finish to adhere evenly. Sanding also helped in removing scratches and other signs of wear, ensuring a fresh start for the floors.
Natural Finish in Chicago: A Hardwood Floor Renovation Story (Customer: S.S.)
Natural Look: Keeping the Original Beauty of the Wood
For this renovation, S.S. chose a natural finish, meaning no stain or color change was applied. The beauty of the hardwood was preserved, highlighting its natural color and grain. This simple, classic look suited the style of the home and allowed the wood’s natural characteristics to shine through. By avoiding a stain, the floors maintained their warm, original appearance while feeling modern and fresh.
Finishing Touch: Polyurethane and Semi-Gloss Shine
After sanding, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane to protect the wood and enhance its durability. Polyurethane helps seal the surface, preventing damage from everyday use while ensuring a long-lasting finish. The semi-gloss finish provided just the right amount of shine, giving the floors a sophisticated look without being too reflective. It also made cleaning and maintaining the floors easier while still showcasing the natural wood’s beauty.
With these refinishing services, S.S.’s hardwood floors in Chicago now boast a refreshed, smooth surface that will last for years to come.
