Today the question I've been asked is a very common one, but is of great concern to every person who asks....The question is "Is Dust Free Floorsanding really dust free ??"
The very short answer to this is...No, its not 100% dust free.
No-one out there in the big wide world of floor sanding can honestly claim to provide a completely 100% dust free floorsanding service...But...you can claim to provide a 95% dust free service.
I believe there is actually a European Parliamentary Directive that seeks to prohibit companies in Europe from claiming to offer a 100% dust free floorsanding service, well that's what I heard in Nov 2008 at the UK Bona headquarters in Milton Keynes...
For many people out there who have hired a floor sanding machine and sanded their own wood floors using hire shop equipment, the concept of a virtually dust free experience would seem like something of a far fetched fairy story, I myself have seen these hire shop machines in action, spewing out dust at a quite unbelievable rate, quickly filling even large rooms with never ending amounts of wood dust.
I hasten to add to have only seen the machines working, I have never used one of these lower quality sanding machines [and I never will]
At Woodfloor-Renovations we use Bona floor sanding machinery, its high end professional floor sanding kit that genuinely does collect 95% + of the dust particulates created during the floor sanding process. The remaining few percent is easily Vacuumed up, and right at the very end of all the sanding/vacuuming processes, we always tack cloth the entire floor to leave the area as dust free as possible.
It really is possible to have a virtually dust free floor sanding process, but you will need to use professional quality equipment to make the virtually dust free scenario a reality, and most importantly vacuum the floor frequently during the floor-sanding processes.
Hope that helps...Thanks for reading.
