RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE OWNER:
Ensure that all other trades in building and finishing are completed prior to the floor sanding and polishing taking place.
Painting can be carried out either before or after the sanding takes place – with the exception of the final coat on the skirting boards in the rooms being sanded and coated.
Ensure no silicon based products come into contact with the floor during the sanding and coating process. Products such as Hairspray, Fabulon, Fly spray etc are silicon based and should not be used near the floor surface, as they will cause rejection of the subsequent coats of polyurethane. Trades such as plumbers can accidently walk over the floor with silicon based products on their shoes – This can seriously affect coating on the floor.
Red wine and Pet urine is very corrosive to the floor surface – ensure that any spills are cleaned up without delay.
