Floor Rectification

Floor rectification for wood flooring, marble flooring, and granite flooring involves repairing and restoring the damaged or worn-out areas. The specific rectification process will depend on the type and extent of the issues.

For wood flooring, rectification may include sanding to remove scratches and stains, filling gaps, and applying a new finish or coating. In severe cases, damaged boards may need to be replaced.

For marble flooring, rectification may involve honing or polishing to remove etching, grinding to repair scratches or chips, and applying a sealant or polish to restore the shine.

For granite flooring, rectification may include grinding to remove scratches and dullness, filling in cracks or chips, and resealing the surface to protect against stains.

Floor rectification is typically done when the existing flooring is salvageable and the issues are localized or limited. It is a cost-effective option compared to completely installing new flooring.

Installing new flooring is usually recommended when the existing flooring is extensively damaged, beyond repair, or if there is a desire for a completely different look or material. It may also be necessary if the subfloor or underlying structure is compromised.

Common problems which require floor rectification

Common problems with wood flooring, marble flooring, and granite flooring can vary, but here are some general issues:

Wood Flooring:

Scratches and dents: Heavy furniture, pet claws, or sharp objects can cause scratches and dents on the wood surface.
Warping and cupping: Exposure to moisture or changes in humidity levels can result in warping or cupping of the wood boards.
Fading and discoloration: Sunlight and UV rays can cause wood flooring to fade or change color over time.
Gaps and creaking: Seasonal changes in humidity can cause gaps between the wood boards, leading to creaking or unevenness.

Marble Flooring:

Etching and stains: Acidic substances or harsh cleaning products can cause etching or staining on the marble surface.
Scratches and chips: Heavy furniture or sharp objects can scratch or chip the marble.
Dullness and loss of shine: Over time, marble can lose its natural luster and become dull.

Granite Flooring:

Scratches and dullness: Heavy foot traffic or abrasive materials can cause scratches and make the granite lose its shine.
Stains: Granite is porous and can absorb liquids, resulting in stains if not properly sealed.
Unevenness: Improper installation or settling of the subfloor can cause unevenness in the granite flooring.

It is best to consult with professionals to assess the condition of the flooring and determine whether floor rectification or new flooring installation is the appropriate course of action.
