Sand Floor Room

You ll get expertise at no extra expense.

Sand floor room. As before vacuum up dust once this stage is finished. If you had just one room the same size it probably wouldn t take as long as you d have fewer edges and less manoeuvring to do. The project is to sand and stain 420 sq feet of hardwood oak floor with 15 corners running continuous from the entry hall to kitchen and dining room. Floor is 12 years old and has plenty of smaller scratches and some dents in the kitchen area.

You ll need to sand the entire floor not just one section. Remove shoe moulding the wood trim where the wall meets the floor. Do not sand on the same diagonal path as the first sanding job or you may end up with stripes on your floor. Remember never turn your sander on or off while it is in contact with the floor.

In numbers it took the two of us about 25 hours to sand 4 rooms totalling at about 43m. The best floor sander for beginning diyers unless you plan to sand many floors in your lifetime your best choice of floor sander is the random orbital sander from one maker in particular. Before you start sanding remove everything from the room and vacuum the floor. Sand along the grain.

Sanding the floor will kick up a lot of dust so protect light fixtures and tape over electrical outlets. Measure the room before you go. Sand directly along the boards instead. The professional floor sander guy took around 2 3 hours to sand our living room floor it took us a lot longer.
