Hints and tips for parquet floor sanding
Parquet flooring is having a design moment, so if you're lucky enough to have original parquet flooring in your home, you'll want to make the most of it by sanding and sealing to restore their natural beauty. It's a job you can tackle yourself if you follow a few simple rules for preparing and sanding your parquet.
Stay safe
Make sure you have the necessary safety equipment for the job - safety goggles, ear defenders and gloves are all essential, as is a respirator mask. Protect furniture that's remaining in the room with a dust sheet.
Well begun is half done
You don't have to be Aristotle to know that good preparation results in better finished results. Carefully inspect your parquet floor for blemishes and deep scratches and work on removing these first, starting with rough grit sandpaper and moving to a lighter, finer weight as you remove the marks. You can do this job using a sanding block or with an electrical hand sander. Double check that there are no nails or other protruding materials that can rip the floor sander's belt.
Getting the best results
When you sand, you run the risk of tearing the wood fibres when you're sanding a floor against the grain. This can strip the wood away quite aggressively leaving a poor finish. However, because parquet strips are laid in different directions, it's impossible to sand with the grain all of the time. Therefore, with a herringbone parquet, you need to sand in two directions, both portrait and landscape, without following the diagonal of the wood. This ensures the neatest and least aggressive result.
Clean up and seal up
Once you're satisfied with the result, you can clean up any residual dust. Even if you've hired dust free floor sanding equipment, it makes sense to give the room a good vacuum so it's spotless before you start to seal the floor. Now wipe the floor all over with a cloth dipped in odour free white spirit to remove any lingering dirt or dust, and allow to dry thoroughly before finishing with 3 to 5 fine coats of sealant and a final wax.
Ask the professionals
