Wood Floor Renovation

Before making the decision to take up your existing wood floor and install an entirely new one, consider whether your floor can be renovated. 

Take a careful look at your floor blocks - yes, they will be dull and scratched, but if there’s no significant damage or warping, there’s a good chance your floor can be restored close to its former glory. This will avoid you needing a new floor installed, which can more time-consuming and costly than a renovation.

Some clients like to retain their existing floor because it has sentimental value or has a history they’d like to keep, especially if it’s within an old building. For these clients, renovating the floor is the perfect option. 

What is wood floor renovation?

The result is a floor that looks almost new, by restoring the colour, hues, finish and “character” of the original floor. 

Most owners choose to restore their floor back to its former look and finish. For instance, take a look at the "before and after" images below - we took a dull and scratched mahogany parquet floor and, with some time and care, restored it back to looking like it’s original look, like this ...
