If hardwood floors mostly cover your home, you’ll want to take whatever measures you can to ensure their long lifespan.
This will save you a ton of money and time on floor refurbishments!
One of the secret methods of keeping a hardwood floor in tip-top shape for an extended period (besides cleaning and protecting the surface with area rugs) is keeping up with sanding.
How Does Sanding Improve Your Hardwood Floor’s Lifespan?
Eliminates Surface Damage
Over time, hardwood floors are prone to dents, scratches, and damage from food traffic. Sanding removes damaged wood on the surface, allowing the smooth surface underneath exposure and making the floors look brand new again.
Smooths Out Uneven Surfaces
Hardwood floors can become uneven over time, whether it be from settling or overall traffic damage. Sanding your floors smoothes out uneven spots and improves their structural stability.
Removes Stains and Discoloration
Your floors are bound to experience the occasional spill and sun exposure on their surfaces, which can result in staining and discoloration. These damages can be resolved by sanding, expanding the lifetime of your hardwood floors, and maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Depending on the thickness and installation date, floors should be sanded four to six times throughout their lifetime.
It is certainly more cost-effective than replacing them!
