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.
