They can be sanded a few times throughout their life. And this is why it is important to get guidance and advice on when it is the best time to restore your wood floors.
Complete this process too much and you will end up in a position where your floors cannot be sanded again. Complete this process too little and your floors will become so damaged that replacement may need to be an option.
Why Sand Wood Floors?
Firstly, it is important to understand why you may be looking to sand your wood floors. When they are installed, they look great and brand new. The surface will be protected with a wood finish. Over time, this finish is worn down. This comes from footfall and other factors such as sun light. Once the surface coating starts to deteriorate, it leaves the natural wood underneath in a compromising position.
This deterioration cannot be stopped. Even the most careful homeowner will see this process happen over time. Correct care will elongate this process. However, there will become a time where the wooden boards need further protection.
To complete this process, the wood floor needs to be sanded back. You cannot just apply another wood finish over the old. This will not look good, and it will not last.
