Hire Machine Service Advantages


We have received a number of questions regarding the introduction of a full-scale hire service here at VCS. By full-scale we are referring to the fact that we are hiring out professional floor sanding equipment rather than amateur lightweight equipment. At VCS, we are delighted to hire out full scale hire service for sanding machines and timber floor maintenance machinery. Included in the range are 8 inch and 10 inch Bona Belt Sanders which are well known as very reliable industry leading floor sanding machinery.

People have asked us why we’ve gone with professional machines as opposed to the usual much smaller machines that are hired out. We happy to respond to the question because there is a significant difference in the quality of sanding machines.
The two primary areas are in dust control and in the quality of finish.

Many people don’t realize how dusty this work can be. This has led to an increasing number of homeowners hiring smaller, cost-effective machines to sand their timber without realizing that dust control isn’t where it needs to be to satisfy most people.

It is crucial to note that these cheaper, smaller machines often fail to meet the necessary requirements for optimal dust reduction. Their compact size often limits the incorporation of crucial elements, such as advanced dust catching scoops and high-powered suction components. As a result, their efficacy in curbing dust accumulations, as compared to professional grade machines, is considerably reduced.

For this reason, homeowners must be mindful of the machines they opt to hire for dust management within the interiors of their homes. It is of utmost importance to not compromise the air quality and cleanliness of the living space for cost-cutting initiatives.

Full Size Machines Are Designed to Capture the Dust

At VCS, we take pride in providing our clients with the opportunity to rent high-quality, full-sized floor sanding machines. These machines represent the latest modern technology and innovation in the field of sanding and homemaking. A significant advantage they offer is their advanced dust control mechanisms. Employing powerful, purpose designed systems, they ensure that dust particles generated during the sanding process are swiftly and effectively mitigated. While nothing is 100% dust free, these machines come close.  This provides a cleaner, healthier environment for the individuals utilizing the machines – a benefit that is particularly important in today’s increasingly health-conscious society.

Therefore, opting for our floor sanding machine hire service is not only a matter of achieving superior sanding results, but also about making a choice towards maintaining a safe, cleaner atmosphere in your working environment. Rent our machines today and experience the VCS difference.

The Quality of the finish

When an action is reliant on a clutch you have a lot of control. It’s a very simple lever action to lift and lower the drum. Most hire machines rely on the ability of the operator to tilt the machine up and down which inevitably results in some gouges into the timber. With a professional machine you have your own full control over lifting and lowering the drum and therefore lifting and lowering the abrasive. This gives you a much smoother and much more level sanding action. People are already coming back saying how amazed they are at the result that they are achieving.

We also have a full range of machines which includes full-sized scrubbing machines which allow for the cleaning and maintenance of textured surfaces in floors. Some modern engineered flooring choices incorporate a textured finish which is impossible to clean with a normal mop and therefore dirt builds up over a period of time. Here at VCS we have incorporated our scrubbing machines into the range, and these will allow you to achieve a much better result without needing to remove timber as long as the surface coating has not been significantly damaged.

Unlike normal light machines which are very much lighter, the bona belt sanding machines have a very accurate tracking belt design and have the weight that is needed to do the job properly. They have the weight to power to width ratio that is needed to produce professional floor sanding results. All of the machines incorporate use of an easy to use clutch.

We are delighted to introduce the Bona Combi edger. It is necessary to do work with an edger when sanding timber Floors but many of the designs are quite difficult to use. The Bona Combi edger overcomes a number of the problems by simply using a standard 150 mm disk and a Velcro attachment. This means that standard Velcro discs can be used. You will also be pleased to see a row of LED lights have been fitted to the machines which allows you to see exactly what you are doing when sanding. This is a great edge sander.
