Good Morning, I hope everyone is enjoying the week so far! The last time I actually wrote a blog, (I totally cheated yesterday!), I had mentioned how we could put a finish on your wood floor by chemically bonding it to the floor. Well today, we will go a little deeper into that concept.
I was out doing some marketing last week, and I spoke with a gentleman at a flooring company. Like I had mentioned in previous blogs, I really enjoy educating people on our processes because not only is it a new concept, but it just makes sense! When I spoke with the gentleman and told him what our company does, he was so excited! He told me he had been reading for months about the "New & Improved" way to add a finish to a wood floor. As soon as I mentioned that our company doesn't sand wood floors down to prep them for a finish coat, he jumped right in and exclaimed, "You chemically bond it to the floor don't you!"
I have to admit, I was a bit surprised that he knew right off hand how we did it. He was the first person who had been educated on the way to prep floors without a machine sanding them down. He didn't quite understand the process, but he knew that this new way meant WAY less mess, stress, and time. He told me that he had been reading about it for months, and that all the big wood floor magazines are calling this the new break through for the wood floor world! Hearing this made me very excited to hear how others are getting excited about what we are doing.
Okay, enough story telling, lets get down to the nuts and bolts! There are 2 ways to prep a wood floor for the process of adding a finish. Mechanically or chemically. When you really think about it, it just makes sense. If you are about to paint a piece of wood, what are the two main choices you have? You can either sand it, or prime it right? Well the same goes for floors and finish. If you like how the wood looks and it has great characteristics you don't want to sand all of that away. Simply by adding a bonding agent to the floor, (remember just like primer), a finish coat can then be added to the floor for protection.
Now if the floor is in poor shape and really needs a face lift, sanding is definitely the way to go! Sanding the floors will give you the new surface on your floors you might need. Just keep in mind, not all floors need to be sanded down just to add a finish coat! We had a customer just this week who had received 2 bids from the same company within 2 years. She said the price of sanding her floors went up $1,500! The funny part about the whole thing is that her floors aren't even in bad condition! The company told her she will need a complete re-sand of her floors before they can add a finish to her floors to improve them any.
That is where we are hoping to fill a void in the wood floor industry. We understand that some floors need to be sanded down, we have had to refer several customers to a floor sanding company because the floors were in such bad shape. However, we believe not only can we help maintain wood floors to a better standard and make the finish coat last longer, but that we can help those homeowners who don't need their floors to be sanded just to get that shine back.
