Franchise LLC Mr. Sandless
Can you refinish a waxed floor?
Yes! Our service will remove the wax so that we can properly seal the floors. The good thing about wax it is that it really does protect the floor, and so in most cases, we end up with a floor that is nearly new-even if it is many years old. The bad thing about wax is that as it breaks down, it holds onto the dirt rather than to repel it. Once the wax is removed, new and dramatic color can be seen!
"Hi! My name is Nicole Taylor. We had your company out this afternoon to refinish out floors and I have never been so happy! They look brand new and they are 60 years old. If you ever need to provide a reference or if you do a testimonial page, I would be happy to lend my opinion! Thanks again for a great job!"
Mr. Sandless Franchise LLC Wood :While it's not absolutely necessary to mask the baseboard and shoe molding before applying the finish, it's a good idea. Apply 2-in.-wide masking tape to the base and shoe molding (Fig. 9), pressing it tightly to the molding at the joint with the floor.

Rotary-peel
This process involves treating the wood by boiling the log in water at a certain temperature for an allotted amount of time. Then after preparation the wood is peeled by a blade from the outside of the log, and it works its way around the log toward the center, creating a wood veneer. This veneer is then pressed flat with high pressure to make the veneer flat. This style of manufacturing tends to have problems with the wood cupping or curling back to its original shape. This problem is commonly known as "face checking" and is a manufacturing defect. Rotary-peeled engineered hardwoods tend to have a plywood appearance in the grain.
Resin
Most resin or "gum" varnishes consist of a natural, plant- or insect-derived substance dissolved in a solvent, called spirit varnish or solvent varnish. The solvent may be alcohol, turpentine, or petroleum-based. Some resins are soluble in both alcohol and turpentine. Generally, petroleum solvents, i.e. mineral spirits or paint thinner, can substitute for turpentine. The resins include amber, dammar, copal, rosin, sandarac, elemi, benzoin, mastic, balsam, shellac, and a multitude of lacquers.
Synthetic resins such as phenolic resin may be employed as a secondary component in certain varnishes and paints.
Over centuries, many recipes were developed which involved the combination of resins, oils, and other ingredients such as certain waxes. These were believed to impart special tonal qualities to musical instruments and thus were sometimes carefully guarded secrets. The interaction of different ingredients is difficult to predict or reproduce, so expert finishers were often prized professionals.
Mr. Sandless Franchise LLC Refinisher :There are a great variety of both traditional and modern finishes, including the use of faux finishes. One interesting modern development in refinishing is the art of distressing or antiquing, making the finishes of pieces look older.
While refinishing is often undertaken to salvage an old piece of furniture, in the case of antique furniture refinishing has been known to significantly reduce the overall value of the piece
Mr. Sandless Franchise LLC Contact The first step is to simply clean the room. GREEN MAGIC CLEANERS will dust all around the wood floor areas. This insures that no dust or grit falls on the newly refinished floors. Then we will sweep the floors until all dust an dirt is removed. We finish this step by putting down wood floor cleaner. This process consists of misting the floor with the cleaner and mopping it up.
Now we have to strip the floor of any wax and polyurethene that is on the floor.
