Your parquet floor has become shabby?
Sanding the floor is a possible option for making the surface
shine again. You should not be shy of a certain amount of effort.
We provide you with the most important information:
What does sanding the floor requires?
It requires experience, handicraft skills and
appropriate tools. A certain amount of dust and noise
disturbance must be expected. A hand-held machine must
be used to rework at corners, doorways and
walls – which requires time and skill.
In general, one coarse and 2 fine sanding passes are performed.
Then 2-3 lacquer, varnish or oil coats must be applied.
The area cannot be walked on for a lengthy time.
Can I sand any parquet floor?
Basically, yes! A different number of sanding passes
are possible for a parquet floor, depending on the
type of laying, the top wear layer thickness and the
surface. This is checked and decided on site by a
professional tradesperson.
Will my floor look like new again after sanding?
Yes and no. Scratches, stains and damage can be largely
removed. Nonetheless, it must be said that a surface
sanded on site is never comparable with a factory
surface in terms of quality and appearance.

You miss warm feet, and have to cope with a large number of

should know:
How time-consuming is it to remove the old floor covering?
In most cases, very time-consuming. Above all,
it depends on the age of the floor, the type of
subfloor and the adhesive used. You have to expect
a lot of dust and noise. After removing the floor,
it is often necessary to repair the damaged subfloor
so that it is once again ready for laying a new floor.
Residues of the old flooring often have to be
removed by grinding.
Do I have to remove the tiles?
No, not necessarily. You can

The build-up height and poor acoustics must be noted (high noise development in the room)

more time-consuming preparation of the subfloor
What was modern and fashionable in the 1960s and 70s is now the daily dread. Obvious!
