Assessment: Before commencing the sanding process, it’s essential to assess the condition of the wooden floor. This evaluation helps in determining the extent of sanding required and whether any repairs, like filling gaps or replacing damaged boards, are needed.

Preparation: Preparatory steps include clearing the room of furniture, removing any fixtures or obstacles that might hinder the sanding machine’s movement, and ensuring the floor is free of debris and dust.

Choosing the Right Abrasives: Different wooden floors may require varying levels of abrasiveness. The selection of the appropriate abrasive material (sandpaper or sanding discs) depends on the wood species and the level of wear or damage on the floor.

Sanding Machines: Floor sanding is typically done with heavy-duty sanding machines, which come in various types such as drum sanders, orbital sanders, or edge sanders. These machines are equipped with abrasive materials and are designed to efficiently and evenly remove the old finish, scratches, and imperfections from the floor.
