5 things you need to know about sanding hardwood floors
Sanding hardwood floors is not a task to be undertaken lightly - in fact, it may be a job best left to a professional floor sanding company. These are the five things you need to know about floor sanding that can help you decide whether it's a job you're willing to tackle yourself or whether you need professional floor sanding services.
1. Sanding and finishing hardwood floors is hard work
Not only will you have to sand your floors at least three times with different grits of sandpaper, you'll have already been working hard to prepare the room and the floors beforehand. This means checking for protruding nails, taping up electrical sockets and moving all the furniture, among other jobs. And, even when you've finished floor sanding, the job is far from over, as your floors will now need several coats of polyurethane to protect them from damage.
2. You need to know what your floors are and how they're finished
In a new property, your floors may be engineered wood, so ripping through the finish may also sand through the wear layer. In an older property, the finish on your floors may contain toxic chemicals, which are best dealt with by a specialist. The point is, you need to do your research before you even think about hiring dust free floor sanding equipment.
3. Screening or sanding?
It may be that your floors don't need sanding at all, and that you can use a process called screening to restore them to their former glory. If your floors aren't damaged, scratched or stained, and if they haven't been waxed, then this might be the right option for you. Otherwise, you'll need to hire a floor sander and an edger to sand the floorboards back to the raw wood.
4. You need to know when to stop
When you're in charge of sanding and finishing your floors, it's up to you to know when enough is enough. Depending on the age and character of your floorboards, you may need to live with some imperfections, because otherwise you may end up ruining the floor.
5. Can your floor be sanded at all?
If your floorboards show signs of cupping or crowning, or they've been badly repaired, stop. Unless you're highly skilled at DIY and can fix potential problems with the substrate your floor is laid on or can make a seamless repair to the planks, any wood floor restoration is definitely best left to the experts.
