FAQ - 💬
❓ What is the best way to sand hardwood floors?
👉 Use a floor edger or small orbital sander to sand corners, edges and small areas such as closet floors, bathrooms or stairs. An edger can be difficult to control, so practice your technique on scrap wood first. As with the drum sander, start with course-grit paper and then move to finer grades.
❓ Is sanding a hardwood floor difficult?

This can be a serious hazard resulting in injury to those doing the work and others in the area. Exercise extreme caution and always put safety first when sanding hardwood floors.

Important note: some hardwood is only 1/4 inches thick. In this case, a refinish could strip away all traces of the floor.
❓ How to sand a hardwood floor without damaging it?
👉 Vacuum after each sanding to pick up coarse grit left on the floor. Sweep or vacuum the floor before you move up to the next grit. Even the best abrasives throw off a few granules while sanding. And a 36-grit granule caught under a 60-grit belt will leave an ugly gash in the floor. Wrap the vacuum nozzle with tape to avoid marring the floor.
❓ Do you need to hire a professional to sand hardwood floors?
👉 All of the flooring contractors who contribute to this website recommend hiring a professional when sanding hardwood floors. Hardwood floor sanding is a skilled job that takes practice and experience. There are more ways to ruin a hardwood floor than there are to sand it properly.

👉 Prior to rough-cutting, remove quarter-round and/or baseboards. On older floors, the first step when sanding is to choose an aggressive grit (like 24 grit per square inch) to level the boards one to another and remove imperfections if possible. The result is a fresh, new-looking wood floor.
❓ What is the best angle to sand a wood floor?
👉 Sand at a slight angle to the grain. For the first stage of sanding, you can move at a 7 to 15 degree angle to the direction of the boards. This will help level slight variations in the floor. It also minimizes the chance of "dish out" or "waves," when a loose or uneven floor gets sanded more in some spots than others.
