Old Painted
Posted in Garden Antiques on 11/20/2009 04:35 am by adminRefinishing an old painted hard wood floor?
I have an old (around 100 years old) wood floor in my bedroom, it was covered with carpet, after pulling up the carpet we found the floor beneath was damaged from nails and painted gray.
How can I refinish this floor? What will I need? and what would be you guess on how much it will cost?
The room is about 17 X 15, and has about 20 stairs.
After having done numerous hardwood floors and refinishes I can say without hesitation. First, spot check the paint. Use a scraper or chisel to check quality of paint, how many layers and condition and type of floor underneath. Second, check with a piece of 60 grit sandpaper how fast it gums up as this will be indicative of the floor sanding process and wether or not you may want to consider stripping first with a GREEN stripper. Stripping can be messy but may save you heart ache and labor in the final analysis. Sanding screens instead of papers work best with a floor buffing machine. It takes a little getting used to but becomes almost natural after a bit. Start with a 40 or 50 grit and work your way up to 120 or 150 grit. I have polished floors with sandpaper all the way up to 1000 grit and they quite literally glow with character. A good gymnasium grade poly is the way to go if you will have heavy traffic. Good luck and thanks for saving the wood.
