Cork flooring is renowned for its unique qualities. Made from the bark of cork oak trees, it's a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for those who prioritize environmental responsibility. Not only is cork flooring resilient and durable, but it also possesses natural insulating properties, making it a comfortable and energy-efficient flooring option.
The Refinishing Question
One of the common queries we receive at Flooring Source is whether cork flooring can be refinished. The answer? Yes, it can!
Why Refinish Cork Flooring?
Over time, like any flooring material, cork flooring may show signs of wear and tear. Scratches, dents, and discoloration can occur due to foot traffic and other factors. Refinishing offers a solution to restore your cork flooring's appearance and prolong its lifespan.
The Refinishing Process
Refinishing cork flooring involves several steps to ensure a successful outcome. Here's an overview of what to expect:
- Assessment: Our team will assess the condition of your cork flooring to determine if refinishing is the appropriate course of action.
- Preparation: Prior to refinishing, the flooring needs to be thoroughly cleaned and any debris or contaminants removed.
- Sanding: Sanding is a crucial step in the refinishing process, as it helps to remove surface imperfections and prepare the cork for sealing.
- Sealing: After sanding, the cork flooring is sealed with a protective finish to enhance its durability and restore its luster.
- Finishing Touches: Once the sealing process is complete, any final touches or repairs are made to ensure a seamless finish.
