A floor that has seen a lot of use does not always need replacing. Before choosing a new covering, the material is identified and the areas to work on are understood. Refreshing the finish, changing a board and reworking a base call for different work.
MS Contractor SA works in Geneva and throughout the canton. Let us talk about your project
Start by identifying your floor
A solid parquet is made of wood through its full thickness. An engineered parquet has a wood surface layer whose thickness varies according to the product. A laminate floor has a surface decor and is treated differently from a wooden parquet.
This distinction matters before considering sanding. The look of the floor is not always enough to tell its composition. If you have the product reference or an installation invoice, keep these documents for the visit.
Note the areas to work on and where they are
Note whether the marks concern the whole room or a few busy areas. Point out scratches, loose boards, gaps between elements or changes in shape, as well as marks near a water point. Before refurbishing, it helps to understand where the wear comes from so that the new finish lasts.
Overall photos and close-ups help prepare a first discussion. They do not replace an examination of the stability of the floor and of the material still available for a possible renovation. Mention the photographs available in your request.
Studying the refurbishment options
Depending on the type and condition of the parquet, the project can involve a local repair, sanding and a new finish, or replacement. The choice also depends on the work already carried out and the result you expect. Whether sanding is possible is checked before the solution is settled.
Think about the look you want and how the room is used. A busy living room, a bedroom or business premises have different upkeep needs. The finish is chosen with these uses in mind.
Anticipating the joins and the organisation
Skirting boards, thresholds and joins with the other coverings are part of the project. If the parquet is replaced, the base and the heights available are examined. If the home remains occupied, specify which rooms can be cleared and when.
For work in several rooms, also present the other work you have in mind. An apartment renovation may call for coordinating the preparation of the walls and bases before the floors are finished.
