Hardwood and engineered wood floor sanding

Hardwood floors (oak, maple, birch) have the advantage of being easy to restore when their finish becomes worn.

A complete floor sanding and refinishing of hardwood boards can even be carried out up to four times over the decades, provided that only a thin layer is sanded each time.

Removing the old varnish and imperfections requires a three-step sanding process (using coarse, medium, and fine sandpaper), followed by a finish with an eco-friendly product. This progressive technique helps prevent damage to the wood.

Coarse sandpaper (30–40 grit) removes the old varnish and levels the surface, medium grit (50–60) eliminates marks from the first sanding, and fine grit (80–100) prepares the wood for the varnish.

We use a drum sander for large surfaces and an edge sander for corners, always working in the direction of the wood grain. Our sanding methods are 99% dust-free (a light cleaning may still be required).

It should be noted that we do not need to remove the moldings to perform the sanding.

Customized finishing

After sanding, we apply three coats of transparent varnish in the finish of your choice. This varnish dries quickly and is eco-friendly.

The renewed appearance is immediate, and it is even possible to change the color of the boards to a semi-transparent shade of your choice, which is far less expensive than replacing the wood species itself.

Some homeowners prefer to have oil applied after sanding in order to give the wood a more natural appearance. Oil provides a beautiful matte finish that is very popular in traditionally styled homes.

We sand both hardwood floors and engineered wood floors. The latter have only a thin wood layer and must therefore be sanded with great care.
