Restore your floors without replacing them. When your wooden floors start to look worn, scratched, or dull, it's easy to think that replacement is the only option.
But with the right strategy and a little elbow grease, floor sanding can give your home a new lease of life without the expense or hassle of full replacement.
Knowing the process, equipment, and techniques involved in sanding your floors can be the difference between a perfect and imperfect finish.
Wood floors are classic. With oak, pine, maple or walnut underfoot, natural wood is an impossible warmth and character to match.
Footfall, furniture, pets and sunlight over the years can take its toll though, leaving the surface scratched or uneven colour.
The good news? In most situations, this surface damage is a mere skin-deep injury. Hardwood's best feature is that it can be sanded down and refinished many times throughout its life.
Even engineered wood flooring, based on the top layer's thickness, can usually be sanded at least once.
