Where can I purchase Timber Floor Sanding and polishing in Brisbane?

You would take 2 passes at this, first with a coarse or nedium grade, then fine. You ought to be able to buy the discs at a large hardware store like Home Depot, and get advice there too. Wear a dust mask too.

Timber Floor Sanding and Polishing Melbourne

Use this guy, i have used them before & they are very affordable & professionals for sure

It depends on what sort of finish you want or need, what sort of area and whether it is to be maintained by hand or machine.

The timber must be very smooth and level for a gloss finish or every blemish will stand out whenever the light reflects off the surface.

Floor wax is high maintenance. It can be polished to a decent semi-gloss finish if the floor is sanded to a high standard but it is hard work to achieve and although wax protects the wood it does rather show marks too readily.
Wax is not for worriers.

Semi-gloss or nearly matt is the most practical finish for most people most of the time. Oil is the best preservative for the timber and it will produce a well-defined grain colour but later needs further protection.
There are many propriety finishes available and the hardest wearing is those based on polyurethane.

One of the schools I attended years ago had parquet floors throughout. They had been sanded smooth and sealed and then a mixture of sawdust and wax was swept back and forth several times periodically.
Once or twice each week a polishing machine with soft revolving brushes was pushed back and forth a few times.

Try mop and glow I use it on tile it works great. I believe they have a product for wood

You get an idea on how much laminated floor you will need by measuring the length and the width of the rooms that you plan on installing laminated floor, multiply the length by the width and add 10 percent for installing errors and variation in floor design.

This will dependa litlle on the type of Polyurathane that was originaly put down - single pack or two pack and if you have done any type of upkeep to it in the mean time. Some people like to wax there floors to give them shine and a deadly slip factor, if you have waxed your floor you need to remove this wax before youo go any further. Talk to a local chemical supplier to find a wax remover. If you have not waxed your floor this makes it easy.

Wash the floor with a solvent cleaner that contains no waxs or soaps - I use mineral Turpentine on clean rags.

Sand the floor with a hand sander (orbital, vibrating or belt your choice, I prefer to use a square vibrating sander or 8" Orbital) - you do not need a floor sander unless you want to remove all your PU and get back to bear timber. The process of sanding is designed to rough up the whole top surface so that a new layer of PU will adhear to the old PU. So use about a 80 gritt pad. to fine a sand paper will not give a good key for the new PU and to rouogh a paper may scratch to deep into your floor.
Note: if your original floor was stained you must be very carful not to sand all the way through the PU as the timber underneath will show through as a differant colour.

Dust off the floor with a clean broom to remove the bulk of the dust then use Methalated spirits on clean rags and completly clean the floor. You are now ready to start applying the PU as per the manufacturers specifications.

Other things to note:

1) I always wear socks when cleaning back the floor for the last time as oil from your feet and hands can transfere onto the floor and cause small patches were the PU does not adhere properly.

2) After the reccomended drying time I always insist that my clients wait an additonal 24 - 48 hours to allow the PU to fully harden before they walk on it or move furniture. A lot of the PU manufactures seem to cut down there drying times to make there product more appealing to busy market.

Hope this helps.

If you are using a 220 volt 4 hp floor sander, which is 95% of all floor sanders. you CANNOT use a generator less than a 25KV, which is about the size of a van. All Floor sanders draw over 80 amps at start up and during floor sanding all sanders run around 25 amps. If your motor is a Capactor style motor you can do detrimental damage to the motor. Many of my customers have done it in the past.
