We've recently had a repair made to our deck which resulted in the exposed part of the deck being... replaced. This meant we needed the original deck sanded and the entire deck coated. Karl has just finished the job and we couldn't be happier.Quote Process - so clear and easy to understand; probably one of the better quotes we've ever received for trade style work to be completed at our homeOn job - Karl arrived when he said he would and kept us updated along the way. There were no surprises and it was very clear to us that Karl takes pride in what he does.Finished result - the result was so much better than we expected; it is not possible to tell where the replacement portion of the deck is, with a nice even finish across the entire deck. Karl covers the underneath area of the deck too, so no stray drips onto the area below.We would have no hesitation in recommending Karl for his attention to detail, care factor and end result.read more

Timothy Nakhla

Karl is a gentleman. He coated our floors and they look amazing! I am so thankful we chose the matt... finish (as recommended) as it looks great. Two years on, the floors are standing well up the abuse of two kids under 4. Karl was even kind enough to come back 2 years later and coat a small section when we removed a kitchen cabinet. I certainly will be using Karl again in the future as we continue to renovate the house!read more

We had Karl, from Economy Floor Sanding around to do our floors in a home we recently purchased. We... were on a tight time frame and found our floors also needed repairs.

The colour and repair in the water damaged area was blended perfectly, as if it was never there. Thanks again for a fantastic result!read more

A quick note to say how pleased I was to have Karl (from Economy Floor Sanding) sand and polish the... lounge, dining room, kitchen and breakfast room in my 1920s house.

He also did a couple of extras (sanded the bench top in the kitchen, replaced a floor board and fashioned a wood surround for the tiled fireplace).Very much appreciated his professional touch and would highly recommend his work to anyone contemplating rejuvenating their tired floors.read more

How Sanding Quality Can Vary

The Video below shows how skill and sander technique can affect the quality of a finished floor.

Technique, Machinery & Skill

A Solid Foundation

Floorboards naturally take in moisture from the surrounding air and become looser as time passes because of normal swelling and shrinking. Using a nail punch to drive the nails further into the wood secures the floorboards back onto the joists so they won't move around in the future.

Precision Machinery

Our German manufactured Elan brand sanders have a flat metal base. They are designed specifically for sanding staircases only. Since they produce an entirely flat surface, we also utilize them on all the edges of our wood floors.

Superior Results

Polished timber floors vary in their level of quality. Since all the labour is done right in your home, the difference between an acceptable floor and an exceptional one comes down to the prep work.

Specialist Sanding Equipment

If you want a breathtakingly beautiful floor in your Brisbane home, you should hire a floor sanding specialist.

The initial preparation stage is crucial for getting a high-quality completed wooden floor. Our premium Hummel belt sander makes an ideal base to proceed from.

Angle Sanding Process

Floor sanding on an angle with a hardwood floor.

Using the sanding machine on an angle first, is key.

Occasionally we encounter floors that require sanding in multiple directions. Each floor varies, based on its age and state.

Polishing Process

Polishing a raw timber floor with a roller.

The type of coating is very important.

We apply 3 coats of high-solids polyurethane with commercial grade durability. Popular low sheen finishes offer a modern, up-market look.

Other Services

Stairs

A staircase after sanding and polishing.

Staircase sanding, polishing and restoration service. Make a great first impression at your entryway. Non-slip finishes offered for safety.

Staircases

Decks

External decks sanded and coated with UV resistant external finishes. We also carry out board replacement and maintenance.

Decking

Re-coats

Rather than completely sanding again, your current wood floors might only require a new finish coat. This refreshes the surface.

Re-coating

Our dust control and vacuuming methods mean your home is left dust free.
