Hardwood flooring always gives our house a very stylish look. Many people opt for wooden flooring for their bedrooms and a part of their living rooms. This flooring will wear out over time, and its finish will look dull and lifeless. Significant damage occurs to these floorings, causing them to appear dull and unattractive. Water and moist exposure are primarily responsible for the damage caused to wooden flooring. Frequent exposure to water causes gradual damage to the flooring.
So when you finalize your decision to install wooden flooring in your rooms, it is also important to determine the necessary aftercare. When someone damages the flooring, they have two options. One can either replace the flooring completely with a new one, or the other option is to repair or refinish it.
Below, you can learn the difference between replacing the flooring and refinishing it.
Replacement Of The Wood Floor
The word “replacement” refers to removing the existing flooring and then replacing it with a new one. If we opt for this option, it will be costly and require a lot of time to implement. This decision entirely depends on the individual’s budget. This is not the right choice for a person who has a tight budget.
A person choosing to completely replace their flooring must be mentally prepared to spend a significant amount of money and ensure that the area is available for the work to be done.
Refinishing Of The Hardwood Floor
When a few signs of damage, like scratches, dents, stains, and scuffs, are observed on the floor, then doing the wood floor refinishing is the best and a practical option. The refinishing process is not as expensive and also not as time-consuming as the replacement of the floor. In this procedure, all that has to be done is sand the areas that are affected, or even the entire surface, if required, and then get them stained, sealed, and dried.
It is always advisable to take the services of a professional and take his advice to decide what exactly is required for the flooring, either replacement or refinishing.
