Berlin Flooring is a hardwood flooring company in Boulder, Colorado. We have provided hardwood floor installation and refinishing since 1953. Our craftsmen pride themselves on the quality of their workmanship and high level of customer service. We are honest and objective when advising our customers on what products and services are recommended for their wood floors to ensure they receive the highest quality and value. We guide you through the process of properly designing, installing, sanding and finishing a beautiful hardwood floor.
Berlin Flooring follows the guidelines set forth by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) to make sure you receive a floor that will stand the test of time. Subfloor: we inspect your subfloor to make sure it is suitable for the type of hardwood floor we are installing. Plywood and OSB are screwed down to eliminate squeaks. Fortifiber Aquabar-B paper or asphalt paper is used as vapor retarder over wood subfloors with a crawlspace below. Concrete slabs will be leveled to meet the specific tolerances required for hardwood floors and may require sealing or priming for moisture control.
Conversion Varnish (Swedish finish): this type of finish is often referred to as "Glitsa" because it is manufactured by the company Glitsa American, Inc. Conversion Varnish is a two-component finish with alcohol as the solvent and cures because of acid catalyzation. It was developed in Sweden in the early 1950's and introduced to the U.S. market later that decade. Berlin Flooring has been using this finish since the 1960's; we were the first company to bring this finish into Colorado. Swedish finishes are extremely durable and quick-drying, allowing multiple coats to be applied in one day.
Hardwood floor refinishing takes years of training to truly master. When deciding on a hardwood flooring contractor to refinish your hardwood floors, it's important to consider that you get what you pay for. If you only focus on the price per square foot, you will be missing out on the best value for your money. Our employees are certified in the Lagler Premium Sanding Technology (PST) methods to obtain premium wood surfaces using our Lagler sanding equipment. First sanding cut: we cross-cut all hardwood floors at an angle with our Lagler HUMMEL belt sander to make sure your floor is completely flat.
