One of the risks when sanding a floor is that you will end up with sander marks or imprints afterwards. Sanding machines are sizable and powerful and this can easily happen. If you have never used a wood sander before, you are almost certain to suffer this fate and it is always best to make use of professionals if you need a hardwood floor sanded.

Precautions need to be taken to prevent these distinctive marks from appearing. Firstly, there are different techniques if you are sanding a stained or unstained floor. Equally, different types of wood need to be treated in different ways and even different ages of wood will respond to sanding in different ways.

A professional will know which type of equipment is needed and furthermore, will have it at their disposal. Proper, high-quality floor sanders are not cheap and you can’t necessarily just go and hire one. A good sander needs weight and power. You need the right tools for the job.

So rather than hiring the sander and risking your beautiful hardwood floor, why not hire professionals to carry out the sanding task in its entirety? You can then be assured that your floor will not be damaged and will end up looking as good as it has ever done.
