What Is the Best Way to Sand a Floor?

Why an Oscillating Sander Is an Important Hardwood Floor Sanding Service Tool

 

 

An oscillating sander is an appliance that has a large, flat sanding surface that has been built into the base of the machine. This kind of sander is used by most

personnel to sand different wooden surfaces. The word oscillating refers to the movement of the sander, which moves in an orbital pattern.

 

 

An oscillating sander can weigh anywhere from 45 to 68 kilograms. Floor restoration companies and hardwood floor installers regularly use them to finish their projects. An oscillating sander is extremely effective at removing the old finish or polish off a wooden surface. Changing the grade of sandpaper will allow the

to remove any shallow cuts and superficial damage to a floor.

 

 

When using this, you first need to prepare the area, also, this kind of sander does not come with a debris holding system, it just leaves it on the surface of the floor. Should you be using this at home, make sure all doors and windows are covered in plastic and taped down, this will reduce the spread of the dust. Also, furniture must be taken out of the room so the floor is empty.

 

 

Begin at the furthermost corner of the room and then work in straight, even lines to remove the top layer of polish. Once you have done the whole room, you will need to stop, and sweep up the debris. After which, inspect the surface and find out how many passes more you will need to make. Try not to focus on a specific spot. The process of sanding will remove the wood from the floor, which means too much attention in one area can often mean an uneven floor.

 

 

Change the grade of sandpaper you are using on your sander to match the level of material you are looking to remove. Make

a

few passes as possible, and make sure you follow a simple pattern of sanding. Stop and clean the floor after every pass and inspect the floor carefully. For more information on our
