Is floor sanding worth it?

Sanding wood floors can:

• Restore their original beauty and colour
• Remove scratches, dents, and old varnish
• Boost your home’s value
• Offer a sustainable alternative to replacing flooring

Essentially, it’s a cost-effective way to transform your space without installing a new floor.

DIY or hire a floor sanding company?

While you can sand your own floors, the job requires skill, patience, and the right tools.

• DIY sanding means hiring equipment and buying supplies — and mistakes (like uneven sanding) can be costly
• A floor sanding service in Knighton will have the experience and tools to deliver a smooth, even finish

What type of floors can be sanded?

• Most solid wood floors (oak, maple, pine, cherry) can be sanded multiple times
• Engineered wood floors can only be sanded lightly due to their thin hardwood layer
• Laminate floors usually shouldn’t be sanded — heavy-duty sanding can damage them

How long does floor sanding take?

• Small rooms: 2–4 hours
• Medium rooms: around 1 day
• Multiple rooms/whole house: several days to a week

What type of sander is best for floors?

• Drum sanders offer heavy-duty sanding to level uneven floors and remove deep scratches and multiple layers of old paint or varnish
• Orbital sanders are gentle and easy to control, so they’re suitable for DIYers, floors with minor scratches and engineered wood
• Edge sanders are best for sanding along walls, corners, and tight spaces due to their small, handheld, rotating disc
• Belt sanders are better for dealing with damage in specific areas but are not designed for entire floors

Is floor sanding messy?

Floor sanding does create dust. To reduce mess:

• Remove or cover furniture and close doors to other rooms
• Ask your contractor about dustless sanding techniques for cleaner results
