Preparation: The first step is to ensure that the area to be sanded is clean and free from debris and protruding nails.
Sanding: Next, we start sanding! We use specially weighted rotary sanders, which ensure a smooth sanding job.
Smooth: We continue sanding, starting around 40 grit and moving down through finer grades of sanding discs.
Edges: Our large sanding machines don’t go all the way to the edge, so we use a smaller, hand-held rotary sander to sand and detail the edges of the floor.
Seals: The floor is sealed with a water-based primer, potentially including toners at this point of the process.
Finish: The last step is to apply our special two-pack, fast drying, water-based polyurethane coating to give your floor a lovely, long-lasting finish.
Electrodry Floor Sanding Gold Coast is a proud member of the Australian Timber Flooring Association (ATFA). ATFA is the peak body for timber floors across Australia and New Zealand. Their training has made Electrodry sanding technicians experts in the craft. ATFA certification means you can trust the skills and knowledge of the technicians that come to your home. We have been working with timber floors for decades, and know how to get the best results, every time.
We know that getting floors sanded can be a painful experience, especially if it’s in the main areas of your home. That’s why Electrodry is committed to providing excellence and clear communication to our customers. We take the minimum time for a job while providing maximum results. We can achieve this because we use the best equipment and smarter products that dry faster and protect your floor. All of this means that we have most jobs completed in 48 hours. We believe in communicating thoroughly with customers, which includes ensuring you get the right type of timber floor service for your floor and discussing any desired toners or stains.
How much does it cost to sand a wood floor? Well, the first step in any Electrodry timber floor job is a quote. After you call Electrodry and book a technician, he will come to your home, assess the size and condition of the floor and discuss your options with you. You may decide that our Timber Restore or Timber Refresh services may be more appropriate for your floor or your budget, or you may decide to go ahead with sanding. The technician will give you a quote that will include all the costs of the job, as well as GST. The only price not included in the quote is the price of the quote itself. We charge $50 for the technician to come give you a quote, but this is refundable if you book the job.
The charges for floor sanding and polishing, including the cost per square meter vary across Australia, as well as depending on the condition of the floor and the difficulty of the job. If you would like a table of charges then don’t hesitate to call on 13 27 13 or email timberquotes@edry.com.au for more information.
Electrodry service the whole Gold Coast, including Carrara, Broadbeach Waters, Clear Island Waters, Ashmore, Robina, Southport and Burleigh Heads. We’ve been a consistent presence on the Gold Coast for well over twenty years. One of our Gold Coast sanding technicians who’s been around for years is Mark Greenham. He started working for Electrodry in 1999 and has been an invaluable resource for all kinds of home cleaning wisdom. Our services on the Gold Coast aren’t limited to timber floors! We provide signature carpet dry cleaning that leaves your carpet fresh and walk-on dry. We also clean air conditioners, upholstery and provide mould remediation services.
All furniture and personal items will need to be removed from the rooms we are sanding. If necessary, you can leave very heavy items like fridges in place, and we can work around them.
The time will vary based on the size of the job. A small job (a single room) can be done in a day. Medium jobs, up to 75 square metres should take two to three days, while the timing for larger jobs must be determined based on the size of the floor and the amount of work required. Timing will be communicated at the time of quoting the job. If we are staining the floor or doing optional extras such as whitewashing, the time required will increase by 24 to 48 hours.
Your floor will be ready to walk on the day after we finish the job, however, we recommend just walking in socks for the first 36-48 hours. Furniture can be replaced the next day, but you will need to attach new furniture pads under your furniture to prevent scratching. Heavy wheeled items must be kept off the floor for a week, as must rugs and other floor coverings.
Many floor sanding companies use a technician and a junior apprentice, and apply two or three solvent-based coatings, taking a day to dry between each coat. Electrodry uses skilled two-man crews of experienced technicians, and we use a rapid-curing two-pack floor coating that lets us apply multiple coats of polyurethane in one day. That’s how we finish the job faster!
In most cases, finding somewhere else will be your most comfortable option. This is especially important if you are pregnant or suffer from asthma, as the smells and noise from our work may be problematic. If your most important rooms aren’t being sanded, you can choose to stay in the house, but it is important to note that you will not be able to access or walk through the rooms being sanded.
While there may be odours while we are working and applying polyurethane coatings, this will dissipate quickly, and there should be almost no detectable odour within four hours. This is because Electrodry uses high-quality water-based floor coatings that have rapid curing times and create minimal odours.
Our dust capture system collects most of the dust we create while sanding. There may still be a light film of dust left on surfaces in the sanding area, but we will wipe down the surfaces as part of our process.
The sanding process will remove most damage on your wooden floor. However, some pre-existing issues may remain or could affect the final finish of your floor. These include:
1) Deep cuts in your floorboards cannot be sanded out, as the level we would have to sand the boards to would make the floor dangerously thin.
2) Weathered or water damaged floorboards may need to be replaced or may affect the tone and evenness of the end result.
3) Floors stained by urine may still have dark stains after sanding.
Electrodry Gold Coast provides floor sanding and polishing services for hardwood and engineered wood floors. Engineered floors have a 2-3mm timber veneer over MDF board, which can be safely sanded using our rotary sanding process. It is important to note that engineered floors can only be sanded once.
How is Electrodry’s Wood Floor Sanding service different to your other wood floor refinishing services? |
Electrodry’s Timber Refresh and Timber Restore are excellent options for floors that have small scratches, are worn, discoloured or have a build-up of dirt and cleaning solutions. Both of these services take just one day and are cheaper than sanding. However, some floors need more. Electrodry Wood Floor Sanding is a great option if your floor is seriously scratched or unevenly worn. Our Wood Floor Refinishing page contains a full comparison of our different options for your floor. Whatever you choose, you can know your floor is in good hands.
