Nola Dustless install all kinds of wood floors from regular domestic flooring to Antique and custom designed flooring. We offer all types of wood styles including Parquet, Medallion, Planks and strip. Investing in wood flooring for your house is an investment that takes careful consideration - why? There are endless amounts of wood types out there and vast arrays of stains that actually can look totally different depending on the wood you apply them to. Before installing your wood floor, we will determine what type (if any) of sub-floor is required. The type of sub-floor will help us determine the type of wood floor we can install. A sub-floor is a non-decorative layer of planks or plywood laid between the top flooring and the joists. Not only does it act as an insulator, but it also provides a good foundation for your final finish. For these reasons it is imperative you have an expert at hand to guide you through the process.
Services Offered
Installing
1. Glue Down
This is a very stable and solid floor on completion however it is time consuming and can be slightly more expensive. The advantage of glue down floors is the reduction in boards moving and thus creaking occurring when the floor settles.
2. Nail Down
This is the quickest and probably the most cost effective method of wood floor installation. The longterm longevity may not be the same as glue down as over time some creaking can occur however most wood types can be nailed down leaving you with more of a choice when it comes to the type of wood to choose.
3. Floating
This method is both cost effective and efficient. This floor will not creak once installed nor does it have to be attached to a sub-floor. Floating floors are very popular in today's world.
Sanding and
Refinishing
Only a few steps to the perfect finish
1. Preliminary Sanding
Once we sand down the entire floor we apply what is known as "filler" which will seal any cracks or imperfections. When dry we will then sand the floor for a second time.
2. Screening
Once we have sanded the floor will be "screened" fully which then removes any marks created by the sanding.
3. Buffing
The floor is then "Buffed" which is a fantastic method of ridding the floor of any unseen marks or scratches which means you have the perfect canvass for your final stain/color.
Staining
Steps involved in applying stain:
1. Ensure the floor is sanded and buffed to ensure all imperfections are eliminated
2. Apply the chosen stain by hand - We cannot emphasis how important it is to ensure stain is applied correctly as it will effect the look of the finished result.
3. We then use a machine buffer to buff the entire floor again and ensure it is even and the buffing also enhance's the stain by highlighting the light and dark grains within the stain.
