Six Facts About Dust Control & Dustless Hardwood Floor Refinishing

Here's what you need to know about dust free floor refinishing:

1. No matter what some companies might say, completely dustless refinishing just doesn't exist. Although 100 percent dustless refinishing is impossible, dust control is absolutely possible with a dustless containment system (DCS). It reduces the dust by 75 to 80 percent and can make a big difference.
2. Because there will always be dust leftover after sanding, it's important that cleanup is done correctly before the polyurethane is applied; if there's still dust on the floor then particles will be left in the finish. This is one of the main problems people have when they sand and finish their hardwood floors.
3. The good thing is that a DCS makes cleanup much easier and faster, as long as the installer vacuums well with the correct equipment.
4. Almost every company charges to use a DCS, but at San Jose Hardwood Floors we actually charge less because we're able to save costs on plastic, blue tape and the labor of hanging plastic around the room.
5. Some companies use huge dustless systems that have large trailers and are very expensive, but the truth is that a specialized vacuum like Clarke American Sanders' CAV 12 is just as effective when it comes to dust control.
6. Because truly dustless refinishing doesn't exist, we recommend scheduling a professional cleaning after refinishing your hardwood floors (or following any construction project).
