What is Passive Hardwood Floor Restoration?

Instead of stripping your floors down to the bare wood, our Passive Hardwood Floor Restoration uses a gentle, yet highly effective, screen and recoat method. This process is ideal for floors with light scratches, scuff marks, and a dull finish that still have a good amount of life left in their existing protective coat.

Here’s a closer look at how it works and its many advantages:

• The "Screening" Process: This is the key to our sand-free method. We use a specialized floor buffer equipped with a fine-grit abrasive screen. This screen lightly abrades the top layer of your existing finish—not the actual wood underneath. This creates a microscopic texture on the surface, which is essential for the new finish to bond securely. The process removes surface-level imperfections and prepares the floor for a flawless new coat.
• Color Correction: Has your floor's color faded in some areas, or do you want a slightly richer tone? Our Passive Hardwood Floor Restoration can include a subtle color correction. We can add a specialized tint to our new finish, allowing us to adjust the color and achieve a more uniform, vibrant appearance without the need for traditional staining.
• The Recoat: After a thorough cleaning, we apply our premium, eco-friendly finish. This new layer of protection not only restores your floor's shine but also adds a powerful new barrier against future wear and tear.

The Savera Advantage: Benefits and Equipment

Choosing our Passive Hardwood Floor Restoration service comes with numerous benefits that set us apart from traditional refinishing companies.

• Dust-Free and Healthy: The screening process produces significantly less dust than sanding. When paired with our state-of-the-art, advanced dust-free HEPA vacuum system, we capture virtually all airborne dust. This means a cleaner, healthier home environment and zero post-project cleanup for you.
• Instant-Cure Technology: Our secret weapon is our UV-curable finish technology. While traditional finishes can take days to fully cure, our UV-curing process instantly hardens the new finish. This allows you to walk on your floors and move your furniture back in on the very same day.
• Cost-Effective and Time-Saving: This service is a more affordable alternative to a full refinishing. Because the process is quicker and less invasive, it saves you both time and money, all while providing a beautiful and durable result.
• Ideal for All Floors: Our Passive Hardwood Floor Restoration is the perfect solution for delicate engineered hardwood floors, hand-scraped floors, and pre-finished floors that have a thin veneer and cannot withstand a full sanding. This specialized service gives you a way to revitalize your valuable floors without risking permanent damage.
