It's not cheap to rent, so get properly organised and attempt to do all the sanding work in a single day. You'll obviously not have to concern yourself with this if you retain the services of a flooring specialist because they will provide all this equipment themselves.

Sealing and varnishing your newly sanded flooring is the last and final step in the process. This is when you can really start to see the changes in your flooring. A layer of a suitable sealer (such as Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to emphasise the beautiful natural shades of the wood, provide the varnish with a sound base, and at the same time offer some extra protection against various sorts of damage. Two or three coats of a top quality varnish should then be applied, giving plenty of time for dying between coats.

There's little doubt that there's a certain amount of dust, disruption and hard work involved with sanding down your floors.

As soon as you've done this, you'll have a better insight of what you might gain by sanding down your floors. Since we've already mentioned the negatives (disruption, dust and hard work), now we will look at some of the positive aspects.

  • It is Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Once a timber floor has been sanded, sealed and polished it will be a lot simpler to clean because all the splits and crevices will have been eliminated or filled and your freshly polished surface will no longer attract as much dust.
  • Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: With a previously exposed timber floor it's likely to show some signs of wear in time and the sanding and finishing procedure will bring it back to its former glory.
  • Reduces the Number of Bugs and Pests: Pests and bugs adore the cracks and splits that are the trademark of a tired and unpolished floor. Once it's been sanded down and polished, there'll be fewer crannies where the bugs can hide.
