The first step in the sanding process is to secure any loose floor boards using lost head nails. Uplift any split or dangerous floor boards and replace with reclaimed pine. If you have decided to have the gaps filled this is the next stage: The gaps can either be filled using a mix of resin mixed with saw dust. Whether a stain has been chosen or not, the floor is ready to have either a lacquer or oiled finish. If a lacquer is requested 3 coats will be applied or 2 coats if an oiled finish chosen. Slivers are quick and easy to install and can help to insulate rooms, prevent draughts and odours and helps to create a unified feel to the floor.
