Your parquet floor has become shabby?
Sanding the floor is a possible option for making the surface shine again. You should not be shy of a certain amount of effort. We provide you with the most important information:

What does sanding the floor requires?

It requires experience, handicraft skills and appropriate tools. A certain amount of dust and noise disturbance must be expected. A hand-held machine must be used to rework at corners, doorways and walls – which requires time and skill. In general, one coarse and 2 fine sanding passes are performed. Then 2-3 lacquer, varnish or oil coats must be applied. The area cannot be walked on for a lengthy time.

Can I sand any parquet floor?

Basically, yes! A different number of sanding passes are possible for a parquet floor, depending on the type of laying, the top wear layer thickness and the surface. This is checked and decided on site by a professional tradesperson.

Will my floor look like new again after sanding?

Yes and no. Scratches, stains and damage can be largely removed. Nonetheless, it must be said that a surface sanded on site is never comparable with a factory surface in terms of quality and appearance.

Our partners have many years of experience and plenty of competence in the renovation of floors.

How time-consuming is it to remove the old floor covering?

In most cases, very time-consuming. Above all, it depends on the age of the floor, the type of subfloor and the adhesive used. You have to expect a lot of dust and noise. After removing the floor, it is often necessary to repair the damaged subfloor so that it is once again ready for laying a new floor. Residues of the old flooring often have to be removed by grinding.

Do I have to remove the tiles?

No, not necessarily. You can

Rather a dust-free, fast solution after all?
