Dust-Reducing Sanding Technology
Our sanding process uses machinery designed to significantly reduce airborne dust during restoration. By combining professional-grade sanders with effective extraction units, we minimise the spread of fine particles throughout your property. This reduces disruption during restoration and helps protect furnishings, sensitive items and indoor air quality.
Using dust-controlled equipment also allows our technicians to work with greater accuracy. Smooth, even sanding prepares the surface for Pallmann’s coatings, ensuring excellent bonding and uniform results. This clean working method is especially beneficial in family homes, rental properties and commercial environments where cleanliness and safety are priorities.
The efficiency of modern sanding machinery shortens project timelines whilst maintaining high standards of precision. Our focus is on providing a well-managed, clean and dependable service from start to finish.
Our Wood Floor Restoration Process
Every project begins with a clear assessment of your floor’s condition. We discuss your preferred appearance, required durability and maintenance expectations before selecting suitable Pallmann primers and coatings.
Preparation typically includes checking for raised fixings, movement between boards and areas needing repair. Addressing these practical issues ensures a solid surface ready for sanding.
Our sanding process moves through multiple abrasive grades, beginning with coarse removal of worn coatings and progressing to finer stages to refine the surface. This step-by-step approach is essential for producing a smooth, clean base ready for oil or lacquer application.
Gap filling may be recommended depending on the floor type and condition. We use appropriate filler materials or compatible compounds designed for use with wooden floors to achieve a uniform appearance.
Final cleaning ensures no loose dust remains before applying Pallmann finishing products. This contributes to long-term coating performance and an attractive, even finish.
Pallmann Finishing Systems
Cornwall Floorcare uses Pallmann’s professional wood floor treatments, known for dependable performance and high-quality results. The Pallmann range includes:
Pallmann MAGIC OIL 2K – A two-component high-performance oil system designed to penetrate and protect the timber. It provides strong wear resistance, enhances natural grain and is suitable for domestic and commercial use. It is also compatible with underfloor heating.
Pallmann lacquer systems (e.g., PALL-X ZERO, PALL-X 98) – Water-based lacquers engineered to produce durable surface protection with low emissions. Options include different sheen levels to suit modern or traditional interiors. Pallmann lacquers offer high resistance to mechanical wear and are used widely in homes and commercial spaces.
Pallmann primers – Used to prepare the timber, improve bonding between the wood and the chosen finish and support even colour distribution.
Care and maintenance products – Including cleaners and maintenance oils designed specifically for Pallmann finishes to support long-term performance.
We offer test patches so you can preview finish options before full application. All colour and sheen variations are determined by Pallmann’s official product range and your chosen finish type.
Whether you prefer the natural look of oil or the high durability of lacquer, Pallmann systems provide reliable, attractive and long-lasting protection.
Timber Floors We Restore
Our expertise covers the restoration of many timber floor types regularly found across Cornwall:
Pine floorboards – Common in older properties and capable of excellent results when professionally sanded and refinished.
Parquet flooring – Including herringbone and block patterns. These floors require careful sanding to maintain pattern accuracy.
Engineered wood floors – Our technicians assess the wear layer to determine safe sanding depths. Pallmann finishes are fully compatible with engineered timber.
Solid hardwood – Such as oak and other commonly installed species. Each timber type responds differently to sanding and finishing, and we tailor our approach to suit the material.
All restoration techniques are based on standard industry practice supported by Pallmann’s recommended coating systems.
Professional Wood Floor Repairs
We provide a range of repair services to restore wood floors to a safe and attractive condition:
Gap filling – Using suitable fillers or timber slivers depending on floor type and requirements.
Board replacement – When sections of flooring cannot be restored, we replace them with suitable materials aligned as closely as possible in appearance.
Fixing adjustments – Countersinking raised nails or screws and securing loose boards to stabilise the floor.
Surface repairs – Addressing dents, scratches or staining that can be resolved before sanding and refinishing.
All repair decisions are based on practical assessment and industry-approved methods.
