On-site Ultraviolet (UV) Floor Curing Service

December 20, 2016 by My Affordable Flooring

Ultra Violet Floor Curing

Ultraviolet (UV) curing provides a durable and environmentally-friendly floor-finishing solution. My Affordable Flooring offers homes in Milwaukee, Chicago, and surrounding areas access to the best in UV floor-finishing services.

Benefits of UV

Hardwood floors refinished with UV curing technology offer a number of unique benefits that non-UV floors simply cannot match. Benefits include:

  • Surfaces twice as hard as those cured with non-UV finishes
  • Quick curing, instead of the 30 days that some conventional finishes can take
  • Odor-free and will not produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making UV a more environmentally-friendly choice than conventional finishes
  • Resistant to scratches, scuffs, marks, chemical intrusion, and stains

Whether you own a business that needs quick results or you’re a homeowner starting a remodeling project with your floors, the professional UV floor-finishing services of My Affordable Flooring is ready to work with you. In just a few short hours, you can have completely refinished floors that are 100% cured and ready for use.

Caring for UV-finished floors

If your hardwood floors were cured with UV floor-finishing, there are a few precautions that you should take to keep the floors looking fantastic for years to come. Precautions include:

  • Keep liquids—especially puddles—away from your floor and make sure not to use too much liquid when cleaning. For proper cleaning, just use a damp mop or sponge.
  • Don’t let shoes with spikes or “spike heels” to be worn on the floor, as these can indent the wood.
  • Don’t wax your floor, as waxes can dull the finish. In fact, if you wax your floor, you may need to have the entire floor sanded down again and re-coated.
  • Don’t use harsh chemicals that could damage the floor’s finish, such as pine soap, ammonia, oil soap, or bleach.

If you’re considering hardwood flooring and are interested in UV curing, then give us a call. We offer free estimates and consultations for all of our services. Call our friendly sales associates today at 262-653-1120 for a no-obligation estimate or just complete our contact form to schedule your appointment.

Should You Replace or Repair Your Hardwood Floors?

December 6, 2016 by My Affordable Flooring

blog-1

Hardwood flooring is experiencing a renaissance. There are so many perks to hardwood: durability, easy-cleaning, natural beauty. Many older homes already have hardwood flooring, but it’s often covered by carpet or laminate and in need of significant repair. The question is: are the repairs worth it? Or, is it smarter to simply replace the hardwood floors altogether?

Refinishing

To give an old hardwood floor new life, you simply need to sand, stain, and finish it. Where it gets complicated: this can be a long, backbreaking, messy process. Further, it can be just as pricey as buying new. If you value the unique character of your home’s original hardwood, refinishing might be the right choice for you. That said, installing new product could save you time and hassle.

Replacing

Hardwood floor replacement is a great option with a variety of benefits, including:

  • Choice in hardwood material and color
  • Eliminating squeaky sounds
  • Added warranty
  • Resilient to nicks and scratches
  • Quick process

By choosing to replace your hardwood floors instead of refinishing them, you can get a fresh start. Instead of dealing with the imperfections of existing hardwood, you can select the product that is perfect for your lifestyle, whether that’s aesthetic style or durability.

Choose My Affordable Flooring

My Affordable Flooring is Milwaukee’s choice for hardwood floor refinishing and replacement services. If you need help deciding what to do with your home’s hardwood floors, or if you’re ready to get started, My Affordable Flooring is ready to work with you. Call us today at 262-653-1120 for a free, no obligation estimate or just complete our contact form to schedule your appointment.

Decorative Hardwood Floor Medallions Milwaukee

July 23, 2014 by My Affordable Flooring

wood-floor-inlays-medallions Milwaukee 8Decorative Hardwood Floor Medallions Add Something Special

Hardwood floors are loved by so many for good reason: they’re beautiful, inevitably add value to a home, and when properly cared for, can last for many decades. And, hardwood floors with custom floor medallions are that much more special, since they often add a dramatic architectural element that makes a property truly unique. Hardwood floor medallions are typically not part of an original installation and instead are installed with the help of hardwood floor restoration experts like ourselves.

Luckily, caring for floor medallions is no different than caring for hardwood floors. Since floor medallions may be made from several different hardwood species with varying hardness ratings, however, special care may be warranted to avoid damage from floor scratches, dents, gouges, water damage, and the like.

Special Considerations

  • Whether by design or aging, decorative floor medallions will rarely (if ever) blend seamlessly with surrounding hardwood flooring. Subtle and intentionally dramatic differences in color, grain, and texture may be due to wood age, species, treatment, and more. In fact, these differences are often what make floor medallions so lovely and dramatic.
  • A wide variety of pre-made hardwood floor medallions are available, so finding just the right design may take time (but is well worth the effort). Common shapes for medallion inlays include round, square, oval, and octagon, and common themes include mosaic, nautical, and architectural styles.
  • A benefit of choosing a custom hardwood floor installation with a floor medallion over a high-end tile installation is that it can often be easier and less expensive to replace or repair a medallion than it may be to repair cracked tiles. And, of course, hardwood floors typically last much longer than carpeting, and when properly cared for, are much more resistant to damage from traffic and stains.

Why Milwaukee Area Homeowners Choose Maple Hardwood Flooring

July 23, 2014 by My Affordable Flooring

270000 GENUA152055AP50KIt’s no secret that hardwood floors are popular with homeowners who want to invest in the long-term value of their homes. And, of the many types of hardwood floors available, maple hardwood flooring is an ever-popular choice.

Maple is popular not only because maple hardwoods create beautiful flooring, but also because maple floors come in practically as many varieties as there are trees. Whether your decor is best served by a straight grain, a wavy grain, a red stain, or a blonde stain, there’s a maple hardwood floor option available to meet your needs.

Another reason that maple hardwood flooring is popular is that it is so hard. With a hardness rating of 1450, Hard Maple floors offer an extreme durability that makes them a favorite for athletic courts, gymnasiums, and even bowling alleys. In fact, if you want hardwood flooring that will last for decades in your home with minimal damage, Hard Maple may be one of the best hardwood floor types you could choose.

A Bit About Maples

Ranging throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada, there are 13 species of maple in North America. Some (such as Sugar Maple and Black Maple) are called Hard Maples and some (such as Silver Maple and Red Maple) are considered Soft Maples.

When choosing maple flooring, it is best to know exactly what type of maple will be used, since different maples have different hardness ratings (which can dramatically affect how resilient your floor will be against damage). For instance, a Hard Maple like Rock Maple has a hardness rating of 1450, but a Soft Maple like Red Maple has a hardness rating of 950. Although a hardness rating of 950 is still much higher than other, non-maple floors, it is still considerably softer than Rock Maple, and will therefore be slightly more prone to damage from dents.

So, when you’re considering what type of maple floor to buy, be sure to think about more than just color and grain variations, be sure to think about how hard you need your floor to be too. Since d ifferent manufacturers may not explicitly say which type of maple they are using, be sure to ask. The two hardest maples are Black Maple (which has a hardness rating of 1180) and Hard Maple (which is often also called Sugar Maple or Rock Maple, and which has a hardness rating of 1450).

Finding an Affordable Professional Hardwood Floor Refinisher

July 23, 2014 by My Affordable Flooring

Milwaukee Wood Floor Refinish (5)Finding an Affordable Professional Hardwood Floor Refinisher

If your home or business has hardwood floors, you probably already know how important it is to take care of them. Much of a home’s value comes from the quality and condition of its hardwood floors, so knowing that you can count on your hardwood floor refinisher to do good work that will protect your investment is vital.

If you’re looking for a professional floor refinisher, be sure to consider the following before you sign any contracts or agreements:

How much experience does the floor refinishing company that you’re considering have? At My Affordable Flooring, we know that affordability means little if the job isn’t done right. Before you trust your hardwood floors to anyone, make sure that they have the experience needed to do the job right the first time. See proof of their experience by asking for references or samples of their work. If they’re reluctant to give you either, they may not have sufficient experience to properly refinish your floors.

Do they offer guarantees? Be wary if the floor refinisher that you’re considering does not offer any sort of warranty or guarantee for their work. Traditionally, professional hardwood floor refinishing takes considerable time and effort, so anyone who is not willing to offer a guarantee may not truly understand the process or work involved.

Do they have insurance? Few homeowners consider how dangerous it is have uninsured contractors working on their homes. Before you allow anyone to work on your property, be sure that they are fully and properly insured. This is for your own protection: The last thing you want is to have to pay the medical bills of a contractor who has an accident on your property.

What dust control practices will they use? If anyone in your family suffers from any sort of respiratory problem, you may want to ask what sorts of dust control measures they plan on taking. Floor refinishing produces a great deal of dust, which could exacerbate symptoms related to asthma or emphysema. Even if everyone in your family breathes fine, you may still want to ask: Do you really want to have to be left with a layer of dust on your furniture and other belongings?
