Sanding and Polishing

Sanding and Polishing

Sanding timber floors is a crucial step in restoring and maintaining their natural beauty and longevity. The process begins by removing old finishes and smoothing out imperfections to reveal the fresh wood underneath. Using progressively finer grits of sandpaper, the surface is carefully leveled, starting with a coarse grit to tackle any deep scratches or uneven areas, and moving to finer grits for a smoother, more refined finish. It’s important to sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid unsightly scratches. After sanding, the floor is typically vacuumed and cleaned thoroughly to remove all dust before applying a new finish. This meticulous process not only enhances the appearance of the timber but also ensures better adhesion and durability of the new finish.
