How to sand a timber floor successfully


At VCS, our expertise in sanding and finishing timber floors is anchored in a deep-rooted tradition and meticulous methodology that guarantees stunning results. We understand that achieving the perfect timber floor isn’t merely about aesthetics; it’s about craftsmanship that endures.

The sanding process consists of four essential stages, each intricately designed to prepare your floor for a flawless finish.

1. Level Sanding: This initial stage is critical. This ensures that each board is leveled to its adjacent counterparts, establishing a uniform foundation that sets the tone for the entirety of the floor. Any variations in height can lead to improper finishes and unsightly appearance, which is why we prioritize this step with unwavering precision.

2. Coarse Sanding: Building upon the level sanding, proceed to coarse sanding. This stage is designed to eliminate any lingering sanding marks from the previous step. It’s not merely a rough pass; it’s an intentional method to refine the surface further. With powerful equipment and skilled hands, we ensure that the floor prepares to seamlessly transition to the next stage.

3. Medium Sanding: Now, we turn to medium sanding, where you work to even out the entire floor surface. This process is crucial for removing any imperfections and minor discrepancies that may remain. It is in these pivotal moments that experience and attention to detail shine through, ensuring that your floor achieves ultimate uniformity and readiness for the final touches.

4. Fine Sanding* The concluding stage is where precision meets finesse. Fine sanding meticulously prepares the floor for the finishing coat, ensuring a smooth and pristine surface. This is where you ensure that every detail is perfect, allowing the final finish to enhance the natural beauty of the timber, ensuring a lasting impression.

At VCS, we have all of the machines that you need to get your floor to a coating ready stage.
