- Remove any previous floor covering, including carpets, underlay, gripper rods etc
- Fix down any loose boards, make any repairs, and if necessay replace any damaged boards with reclaimed boards (available from reclamation yards)
- Hammer down any protruding nail heads before commencing sanding.
- Using abrasives which attach to the floor sanding machinery, progress through a series of different grade abrasives, starting from a coarse grit and finishing with a fine grit.
- After each abrasive has been used with the upright sander, repeat the same process with the same grit abrasive with the edging machine and corner sander.
- Make sure the final sand is really smooth so that you get a perfect smooth finish on your finished floor!
- Gap filling - Mix the finer sanding dust with resin to form a paste. Paste between boards to fill gaps and sand off the residue.
- Protecting the floor - Your floor needs to be protected to prevent stains. Use either a lacquer (varnish) or oil, (giving the floor a light sand between application of coats if using lacquer)
- Final coat usually takes a few hours to dry
