STATEWIDE FLOORS We do not guarantee that stains such as water or fat, etc. will be removed during our sanding process. The floor sander will not know if these stains will come out or lighten up until the floor has been sanded and sometimes until the first coat sealer has been applied. Please note also that staining the floor will not cover these marks and may even cause them to stand out more. STATEWIDE FLOORS All the machines are dustless, however, during the sanding and buffing process, some fine dust can be generated and could move through the house and settle on furniture, clothes, etc. PLEASE NOTE, when choosing a stain colour that wood is a natural product and variation in the degree of shading from the stain is possible. No stained floor will be the same as the colour chart. Once you have chosen your stain WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY COLOUR VARIATIONS ONCE APPLIED TO THE FLOOR. When staining we advise all clients to be present to choose the colour of their liking as our opinion in applying the colour may not be to client satisfaction. Although all care is taken we do not take responsibility for pre-existing rotted floorboards or skirting boards, uneven floor levels, damp proofing on concrete floors or any faulty materials when supplied by customer. Price for sanding and polishing does not include preparation work e.g. pulling up carpet, removing vinyl, staples, etc. All preparatory work is done at additional price. When dealing with old floors, although we take due care, we do not take responsibility for the splitting of timber or splinter occurring after the floor sanding is finished. Due to properties of the timber, we have no way of preventing such accidents. We advise to wear footwear at all times to prevent the above-mentioned. Parquetry floors, being timber, are subject to variation in colour and grain. Slight shrinking and expansion can occur due to climatic, heating changes. Floor & parquetry sanding is not going to be as smooth and dust free as cabinet making or similar pre-finished work, as it is not possible to achieve a dust free environment. Although we take precautions, it is the duty of the builder/owner to make sure there are no lateral damp, rising damp and any other bridging of damp proof STATEWIDE FLOORS standard practice of floor sanding & sealing. The wooden areas to be done are sanded with varying grades of paper until smooth. This means the surface could be sanded as little as three or as many as seven, or even more depending on your floor's condition. All nails are punched, and the nail holes are filled with putty. A minimum of 3 coats of sealer is applied. Between each coat the floor is cut back and rotary or orbital sanded. This is standard practice. Some procedures may be altered, depending on what you the client has chosen to have done to the floor.
