Floor Sanding Tips

There are some floor sanding tips that everyone can consider during wood floor restoration. They would ensure smooth and problem-free floor restoration process with satisfactory end results.


If you are doing the floor sanding yourself and you have hired floor sanding equipment, check the surface of the floor when you start sanding. The floor sanding belt should leave smooth surface after the floor sanding. If that is not so, contact the floor sanding hire company and ask for consultation.

  • wood floor sandingMake sure that the areas for wood floor restoration are clean and prepared for the floor sanding.
  • Make sure that the floor sanding equipment is working properly, you know how to use it and you have the necessary electrical supply.
  • Use the highest grid floor sanding paper first. Estimate which grit you have to start with; if the floor is in good condition start with 40 grit instead of 24 grit.
  • After the floor sanding with one grit sanding paper make sure all marks are removed when switching to the next grit.
  • Do the floor sanding on the forward stroke and never on the backwards pull.
  • Do the floor sanding from left to right.
  • Floor sanding should be done in line with the wood grain.

Note: When the floor sanding belt is not sanding efficiently, try to change the abrasive or look for some possible causes of the problem. Never force the sanding machines, because you will be held liable for any damages.
