Floor Renovation
Floor Renovation
01. Floor Renovation Based on Flooring Condition
Floor renovation starts by assessing what type of flooring we are working with and whether it is still suitable for renewal. Wood floor renovation usually includes sanding parquet or engineered wood flooring, preparing the surface, applying colour, and finishing it with a new protective layer. Oiled floors can sometimes be refreshed without sanding. In this case, the remaining oil residue is removed with special cleaning products, the floor is washed several times, and then either colour and protective oil are applied, or only a new protective oil layer is added.
In this service, the most important part is not to automatically “renovate everything,” but to understand which solution makes sense for the specific floor. In some cases, it is enough to remove the worn surface and restore the wood appearance with a new protective layer. In others, separate damaged areas need to be repaired, and sometimes the best result is achieved by replacing part of the flooring or laying it again.
02. What Work Can Be Done When Renovating Floors?
Floor renovation work depends on the type of flooring in the property and the condition it has reached. Some floors may need surface sanding and a new protective finish, while others require damaged areas to be repaired, seams to be checked, or loose sections to be assessed. Before starting the work, it is important not only to see the visible wear, but also to understand which renovation method is still suitable for the floor.
Possible works:
Surface Sanding. The worn surface layer of wood flooring, such as parquet or engineered flooring, is removed.
Protective Finish. The floor is finished with varnish, oil, or another suitable protective layer.
Gap Repair. Gaps, small defects, and the most visible areas are repaired depending on the floor condition.
Local Damage Repair. Scratched, loose, raised, or otherwise damaged areas are assessed separately.
Flooring Replacement. When renovation is not enough, part of the flooring can be replaced or fully reinstalled.
03. Replacing or Renovating Old Floors?
Floor renovation is usually worthwhile when the flooring itself is still stable and the main issues are visible on the surface — worn finish, scratches, colour changes, or individual defects. In such cases, the floor can be brought back to a neat appearance without fully replacing the flooring.
If the floor moves significantly, has been damaged by moisture, has come loose over a larger area, or the flooring has lost its structure, surface renovation alone may not be enough. In these situations, it is important to choose a solution that actually works — local repair, partial flooring replacement, or a completely new installation.
