FAQs
How does sanding and refinishing differ from a screen and coat? Sanding and refinishing removes the existing finish and addresses surface imperfections. A screen and coat lightly abrades the existing finish before adding a new coat as part of routine maintenance.
What design updates can be included in gym floor refinishing? Refinishing can incorporate new court markings, school logos, and lettering. The design should be coordinated with the sports played in the gym and the school’s branding.
