Screening is the crucial first step in wood floor refinishing. It involves using a floor buffer with a mesh screen to gently abrade the old finish. The purpose is to create a lightly scratched surface that helps the new finish adhere better. It’s a less intensive alternative to fully sanding your floor, making it a quicker, less messy, and more cost-effective choice
Benefits of Screening
Preserving the Integrity of Your Floor
Every time you sand a wood floor, you remove a portion of the wood. Over time, this can thin out your floor, reducing its lifespan. Screening, on the other hand, only affects the finish. It’s an excellent way to preserve your floor while still giving it a fresh look.
Less Dust and Debris
Sanding a floor can create a considerable amount of dust, which can pose challenges for keeping the rest of the house clean. Screening produces less dust, minimizing the clean up and reducing the risk of respiratory problems.
Faster and Less Expensive
Since screening is less labour-intensive than sanding, it’s faster and less expensive. This makes it a viable option for those with tight schedules and budgets.
Refinishing your wood floor can breathe new life into your home. The screening process, while often overlooked, plays a vital role in the success of the project. With its benefits in cost, time, and preservation of your floor, screening is a wise choice for anyone looking to restore their wood floor’s shine.
