Grain Raising is an age old problem in floor rennovation, Sure The first coat of seal will usually cause the grain in the wood to raise and the floor will feel rough to the touch and Patchy to the eye. At this point we machine buff the whole area with a 120 carbon screen, which in turn heats up the seal and sticks the grain back down once cooled, which is instant.

In heinsight this method should work everytime, But hey we're talking about Natural Wood flooring and with all natural materials, not one is exactly the same, and all are prone to act in different ways, How would you react if water was thrown over you for the first time in 100 years!

Which is why we aptly named this section "Don't be Alarmed"

For those of you that have had our teams round sanding and sealing your floors, Im sure you'll agree this problem doesn't happen too often, But on the Odd Occaison we get a call back, Because the finish feels rough and looks patchy, Like there is seal missing,

This is our Old friend 'Grain Raise', But please don't be alarmed, Please Don't get upset and phone us telling us we've ruined your floors,
Relax,
Give us a call and we will be round to Buff the entire area and Apply a fresh coat of seal.

I know this may inconvenience your plans, but im afraid this is the only way of rectifying 'Grain Raise' which i'm afraid is completely out of our control.

It is very rare to be called back after this, but if there is still a problem, we can apply further coats, the sealer we use allows this.
