Sanding

SandingThe sanding and finishing of a hardwood floor is an important part of the installation process, as it is essential that your hard wood floor is finished to the highest specification possible.

Our hardwood floor sanding service is used as the first process for adding the finish touch to a newly laid solid hardwood floor or even to refurbish an old or established solid hard wood floor. We can sand and prepare all types of hardwood flooring whether to a new floor or for a established floor.

Each of our hardwood floor sanders has many years experience, having had experience in sanding all types of flooring.

Sanding a Timber Floor

Drum SandersFloor sanding are done by drum type sanding machines. In drum sanders the sandpaper is mounted on a cylindrical drum that rotates on an axis parallel to the plane of the floor. Thus the sandpaper makes its scratches in straight lines in the direction of movement of the machine. A drum sander, however, can not reach the last few inches of floor nearest the baseboard. Electric edgers, which are small disk sanders, are available for sanding these edges of the floor or they may be done by hand.

Sandpaper

In sanding a floor, time is saved by starting with coarse sandpaper to remove the grosser roughness and imperfections and to make the floor level as quickly as possible. The scratches left by the coarse grits are then removed by successive sanding with a finer sandpaper. The scratches left by the last paper should be too small to be observed even after the finish has been applied or that requires some restoration.
