If you're thinking about refinishing your floors, you're probably wondering about the dust. And yes, there will be dust. But don't let that deter you from getting the beautiful floors you've always wanted. At Wizard Wood Flooring, we use the latest dustless sanding equipment and a dust-containment system that captures over 99% of the dust that we produce. In this post, we'll explain why there's dust when refinishing floors, how our equipment works, and what you can do to help us contain the remaining 1%.
To understand why there's dust during the refinishing process, it's important to know what the process involves. Refinishing floors usually involves sanding them down to remove the old finish and any imperfections in the wood, then applying a new finish to protect and enhance the wood. To achieve a smooth, even surface, we must sand your floors at least three times. Each sanding creates dust, and the third sanding produces the most dust because it involves using fine-grit sandpaper to remove any remaining imperfections.
Now, what about that dust? At Wizard Wood Flooring, we use specialized dustless sanding equipment that's designed to capture as much dust as possible. This equipment features a vacuum system that sucks the dust right off the floor as we're sanding, so it doesn't have a chance to float around your house. We also use a dust-containment system that greatly increases the effectiveness of the dust removal process, we also hang plastic in the doorways to areas we are not working in, so any dust that does escape from the sanding equipment stays contained in a designated area.
Even with our dustless sanding equipment and dust-containment system, there's still a chance that some dust may escape from the work area. But don't worry; here are a few ideas to minimize this from happening. Before we start the refinishing process, there are steps you can take to minimize dust in your home. For example, you may want to remove any curtains or drapes that could trap dust, or to seal off any vents that could spread the dust throughout your house or throw sheets over hard to clean items. These simple steps can make a big difference in how much dust ends up in your home.
At the end of the refinishing process, you'll be amazed at how little dust is left in your home. Our dustless sanding equipment and dust-containment system are so effective that most people are surprised by how little dust they see. Plus, our equipment is quieter than traditional sanding equipment, so the refinishing process is less disruptive to your daily routine.
There will be dust when you refinish your floors, but with our dustless sanding equipment and dust-containment system, we will capture 99% of it. Our efficient, reliable equipment, coupled with our prep list and expertise, ensures a job well done with maximum cleanliness. The best part is that you'll end up with beautiful, sparkling floors that you'll enjoy for years to come.
