Due to the amount of footfall your York school will receive on a daily basis, you need to look after it. Looking after your wooden floor will extend the life of it. One way you can look after the floor is by polishing it.

What Is Wooden Floor Polishing?

Polishing the wooden floor in your York school is the process of cleaning and restoring the appearance of the wood in your school buildings. It involves removing dirt, dust, stains, and scratches from the surface of the wood, and applying a protective coating of polish to enhance its shine and durability. Polishing wooden floors can help prevent damage from wear and tear, and improve the indoor air quality and aesthetics of the school environment. This process will improve the overall look and feel of your York school.

What Are The Benefits Of Polishing The Wooden Floor In A York School?

There are a number of benefits of having the wooden floor in your York school polished. Some of these benefits are:

• It can help create a safe and healthy environment for students and staff, by reducing the spread of germs and illnesses, and improving the indoor air quality and aesthetics.
• It can help prolong the lifespan of the flooring, by preventing damage from wear and tear, and enhancing its shine and durability.
• It can help restore the original appearance of the wood, by removing dirt, dust, stains, and scratches, and filling and disguising any imperfections.
• It can help repel stains and spills, by applying a protective coating of polish that makes the surface easier to clean and maintain.
• It can help reduce fading and dullness, by polishing the floor to an attractive glossy finish that reflects light and brightens the room.

What Is The Process Of Polishing A Wooden Floor?

• Preparation, which involves removing furniture, rugs, debris, nails, and any other obstacles from the floor area.
• Sanding, which involves using a sander to sand the floor. Here at Timberwolf, we only use the best dust-free sanding equipment. This means that we cause as little disruption to your York school as possible.
• Staining, which involves applying a thin layer of wood stain to the floor using a squirt bottle, a sponge, or an applicator pad. This step enhances the colour and grain of the wood, and can be done in different shades depending on the preference of our client.
• Polishing, a buffing machine to increase the shine and smoothness of the floor. This step can also remove any excess stain or dust from the previous steps.
• Finishing, which involves applying multiple layers of lacquer or polyurethane to the floor using a brush, a roller, or a spray gun. This step protects the floor from damage, spills, and fading, and gives it a glossy or matte appearance depending on the choice of finish.
• This process can take a few days to complete, depending on the size and condition of the floor, and the drying time of the products used. It is recommended to stay off the floor until it is fully cured, and to avoid heavy traffic or furniture for at least 24 hours after the final coat of finish.
