The HSS Guide To Floor Sanding | HSS Blog | Flooring
Are you looking to find out how to sand floorboards?
It’s easier than you might think to breathe new life into tired, aged, or discoloured floorboards. In fact, it’s something of a quick win when it comes to transforming your home – but you’ll need to get to grips with sanding wood floors first.
Thankfully, you don’t need to be a professional to carry out wood floor restoration. It generally provides much more affordable than ripping up and replacing floorboards altogether and is something you can do yourself with the right equipment and know-how.
HSS Hire is here to help you gather the tools, safety equipment and advice you need to successfully restore your floors!
Let’s start with the basics.
Step 1. Gather the right tools
Just about anybody can sand wooden flooring, but you’ll need the right tools if you’re to do a safe and effective job of it. As a minimum, we recommend:
- Floor and Edge Sander Hire Pack
- Coarse sandpaper or discs
- Dustbags
- Hammer and nail punch
- Protective equipment (more on this later)
- Plastic dust sheets and dust bags
- Masking tape
- Vacuum cleaner and floor brush
If you’re unsure where to find the equipment you need for sanding wooden floorboards, speak to the team at your local HSS branch in person or over the phone today.
