Dustless Sanding to Restore your
PAINTED COTTAGE FLOORS

Painted Cottage Floor

Gerber Hardwood Flooring now offers DUSTLESS FLOOR SANDING

Your Cottage, your refuge from the daily grind of life. You come here and the weight is lifted of your shoulders, the fresh air, call of the loon in the distance, that view of the lake and feel of soft sand on your feet in the lake... And then you come to your cottage door and you step in.

Painted Cottage Floor

And there it is: your painted cottage floor. Grimy and not so nice any more, but year after year you just live through the summer, without looking at that painted floor. How on earth can this be fixed? Easy, you can create a rustic feel in your cottage, just by changing the look of your cottage floors.

You would need to remove all the furniture, and books and all other treasures that found it's way up here, then you would need to sand that old paint (better rent the sander, it's too big of a job, for hand sanding) and then you need to choose the color, buy the paint (make sure it's the right kind) and... oooh... paint it. There goes my summer... you think.

Since the furniture must be moved anyway, why not restore that gorgeous, old wood floor to its original beauty that is now hiding under all those layers of paint? Someone would need to come in and sand it, and stain it and... varnish it.

All the mess, the dust, the hustle to bring your painted cottage floor to it's original glory. Summer should be for relaxing and not for floor repairs!

BEFORE THE SANDING PROCESS OF OLD PAINTED COTTAGE FLOOR

Several coats of paint were applied to this pine floor over the years, not it was time to bring back the old beauty of the natural wood from underneath all those layers.

DURING SANDING PROCESS

During the sanding process the layers of old paint are stripped and the bare wood is revealed.

AFTER SANDING PROCESS

After the old pain is removed, the wood floors are buffed, then several layers of clear varnish is applied.
