Preparing your Business Premises for Floor Sanding and Polishing

If you have a commercial business in Sydney, wooden floors give it a professional look and feel. It pays to keep the floors well maintained to keep them in tip top shape, no matter whether they are hardwood, bamboo, parquetry, soft timber floors or any other type of floorboards.

There are many benefits to floor sanding and polishing for businesses including removal of dirt and grime from old floorboards, saving money on new floors, and obtaining a modern and fresh look for your business. You create a healthy environment for your office and add to a greener environment in the wider community.

Organise a Time for Polishing and Sanding when Disruption to Staff will be Minimal

Furniture will need to be removed from the floor space being treated, which may include desks and equipment. Floors will need to be left bare of furniture for up to 4 days to allows time for the polish to dry. This is a rough guide. The time, of course, varies depending on the size and scope of the project.

If you are closed for business due to a revamp, or are shut for the holiday season, this may be the ideal time to get your floors sanded and polished by our tradesmen. Some sanding and polishing projects can be completed over a weekend.

Building Works

Any building work that you are having done should be completed before the sanding process commences. This includes electrical, plastering, plumbing, and carpentry.

Preparation of Your Work Area

Your flooring experts will need:

• Furniture moved
Before the start day you will need to have organised all your furniture to be removed from the rooms. If the floor area has built in cupboards or workspaces, the floor areas of these items will need to be cleared.
• Access to power and power supplies
• To be able to seal rooms to keep out dust from the finished areas.
Any air vents, air-conditioning units, doorways and fireplaces need to be sealed with masking tape. Light fittings and curtains should be covered with plastic or paper bags.
• We recommend having a pest control procedure before sanding and polishing. Some insects such as ants can be attracted to the chemicals involved in the floor coatings.
