Close doors and secure drop sheets to the trim at the top and sides and to the floor at the bottom with mag-tape. Replace gouged or cracked floor boards before sanding. Floor sanding is done by industrial sanding machines. Wood floor needs to be sanded three or four times, each with a finer grid of sandpaper. The number of passes and the sandpaper to use will depend on the condition of your floor. A floor that is covered with paint or glue will need more passes with lower grid sandpaper than a level floor in good condition. The first pass should remove almost all of the old finish and level the floor. T he orbital sander is used to even the floor and get rid of roughness and finish the floor for perfection. The sealer we use is a deep penetrating sealer, it takes an hour or two to dry, and thus is very forgiving and easy to work with. With a little bit of care it evens itself out as it spreads and penetrates. Finishing a floor takes three coats of sealer applied over a period of several hours. After the floors are sanded and cleaned, we apply the first coat of sealer. The coat must be allowed to dry and when it is sufficiently dry, the floor must be lightly sanded again. The process is continued until all three coats have been applied leaving a beautiful hardwood floor that will last for years. Wood is one of the worlds most versatile floor coverings not only do you get traditional beauty but also practical advantages. To prevent scratching, pieces of felt could be glued underneath table and chair legs.
