Timber Floors - Sanding & Polishing

Sanding machines will strip off the surface of the floorboards. Floor surfaces are then sanded flat and smooth to fine grit sandpaper. Three coats of polyurethane are then applied.

Karl has done an amazing job of our 100 year old hoop pine floors. He blended old and new, keeping... all the character and making it look fabulous. So pleased we found someone that spent as much time in preparation as in the application. Could not recommend Karl more highly.read more

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

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

Karl treated our floors in July 2015, and we sold the house soon after. During the selling period,... we received many compliments on how great the mixed hardwood floors looked, and we found them to be very easy to maintain. It's now November 2015, we've bought another house, removed very old carpet and underlay and tar-like glue, and Karl has again done a brilliant job of revealing the natural beauty of the timber floors.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. Karl carried out the repairs between his other booked works, then finished our floors to meet our deadline. At first we expected you would see some sign that the floorboards had been replaced. 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. Karl was on time when he came to give a quote and offered advice on what to do to bring to life the floors that had been neglected for sometime.Karl completed the job (4 days) without fuss and the floors are looking great. 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

Removing an old coating and cleaning the timber, yes, that is essential. As shown above, sanding defects were still present in this floor. Despite that, the previous flooring company coated it in that state.

We use modern timber floor finishes that not only look great, they are also very durable. Together, a well prepared surface as well as a high solids floor finish will look great for years to come.

Likewise to the foundation of a large building, get it wrong and there’s no turning back. The initial abrasive sand is critical to get a superior polished timber floor. Our large top line 'Hummel' belt sander is far superior in contrast, to a drum sander machine.

Here and there over a period of time scrapes, scratches or scuff marks will occur. For this reason our Brisbane floor sanding services include what we call a maintenance coat. First of all it will re-establish a full and uniform sheen on the polyurethane surface. As long as the damage is only minor, buffing can remove it. Then we apply another protective coating.

We uncomplicate the process of having your floors sanded.

Sanding your timber floors should be your last task.
