Floor sanding tips and how it's done
Floor Sealing Quotes
from local floor sealers
Sanding your wooden floors is a great way to improve the light and warmth of your home, and polishing can add style and aesthetic appeal. Sanding must be done before polishing, as polish can often highlight imperfections. Sanding floors is easy - either by hiring a professional or by hiring a floor sander and doing it yourself.
Regardless of whether you hire a professional or do it yourself, you'll need to take these steps before sanding starts:
- Sweep or vacuum the floor thoroughly
- Check the surface of the floor for nails that may be sticking out (and either replace or hammer them back in) or deep scratches that may need to be filled before sanding back.
- Remove old polish (usually with turpentine)
Once the floor is prepared, the sanding will be done first using rough sandpaper and then moving to finer sandpaper, leaving your floor smooth and even. The floor is then buffed, and ready for polishing, staining or sealing.
What services will a professional floor sander and polisher provide?
Your quality floor sanding and polishing company will offer many services and are able to give you different options on the kinds of look you want. They'll begin by checking your floorboards and advising which options you have and which styles you can go for. Different woods work better with different finishes. They will prepare the floor, and can include furniture moving as part of the preparation. Your professional floor sanding and polishing company will repair any deep scratches and can also repair or replace any boards that are beyond repair, matching them to the existing floor.
Tips for floor sanding
- Regardless of who is doing it, sanding your floors is a dusty job. Remove everything you can from the room, and hang dampened sheets over doorways to reduce the movement of dust into the rest of the house. In my experience, it's a pipe dream to prevent dust getting out but reducing it this way makes clean up SO much easier.
- Remove or protect skirting boards before sanding the floors. It's sometimes a trade-off when you're doing a complete room renovation as to whether you do the floors last or the skirting boards last, and you can make this decision easier by removing the skirting boards and putting them back once they've been painted.
