A marked wood floor does not necessarily need replacing. If its structure is stable and enough usable wood remains, sanding can remove wear and old finishes, restoring an even surface.
Initial assessment
Before starting, we check board stability, remaining thickness, moisture, lifted areas and subfloor condition. With engineered floors, the thickness of the hardwood wear layer is especially important.
What sanding can correct
Surface scratches, dullness, uneven finishes and many stains can be reduced or removed. Deep damage, water ingress or subfloor movement require targeted repairs instead.
The process
Work begins with progressive sanding, followed by filling compatible small gaps. Once the surface is prepared, the selected protective finish is applied and allowed to cure properly.
Oil or lacquer
Oil enhances direct contact with the wood and allows local maintenance; lacquer creates a continuous protective layer that is easy to clean. Appearance, room use and expected maintenance guide the choice.
When sanding is not enough
If elements are too thin, unstable or moisture-damaged, sanding will not solve the cause. Local replacement or a new floor may then be the correct solution.
