What’s the difference between a “Screen & Recoat” versus a full refinishing with sanding?
Screen & Recoat:
1 – Surface Refresh: A Screen & Recoat is a less invasive process aimed at refreshing the top layer of your hardwood floor’s finish without removing the existing finish or significantly altering the wood itself.
2 – Light Abrasion: During a Screen & Recoat, the floor’s surface is lightly abraded using a floor buffer and a fine abrasive screen or mesh. This scuffing process prepares the existing finish to receive a new topcoat of finish.
3 – Quick and Less Disruptive: Screen & Recoat is a faster and less disruptive option than full sanding. It’s typically completed in one day. It’s often chosen for floors that are still in relatively good condition but have surface wear, minor scratches, or dullness.
4 – Cost-Effective Maintenance: This method is a cost-effective way to maintain the appearance and protection of your hardwood floors. It extends the life of the floor therefore preventing the need for a full refinishing for a longer period.
Refinishing with Sanding:
1 – Complete Restoration: Refinishing with sanding involves the removal of the existing finish and a portion of the top layer of the hardwood itself. It’s a more extensive process aimed at fully restoring and transforming the appearance of the floor.
2 – Leveling and Repair: Sanding is used to level out uneven or damaged areas on the floor, such as deep scratches, stains, or dents. It provides an opportunity for more substantial repairs.
3 – Change in Appearance: This method allows for a significant change in the appearance of your hardwood floors. You can choose a different stain color, sheen level, or finish type to achieve the desired look.
4 – Longer Duration: Refinishing with sanding typically takes longer. Sanding requires a minimum of 2 days but could take up to 5 days or more depending on the condition and size of the floor.
In summary, the key difference between a Screen & Recoat and refinishing with sanding is the level of intervention and the extent of changes made to the hardwood floor. Screen & Recoat is a maintenance procedure that addresses minor surface wear and restores the shine, while refinishing with sanding is a more intensive process that completely strips and rejuvenates the entire floor, making it suitable for floors with deeper damage or those in need of a new look. The choice between the two depends on the condition of your hardwood floors and your specific goals for maintenance or renovation.
