There are numerous sound reasons for choosing real wood for your floors. Of course, genuine timber looks great. That’s because it effortlessly adds a touch of elegance and luxury to any space. It’s also very hygienic and, what’s more, you can clean this material very easily.
Plus you can sand wooden flooring multiple times. Indeed, depending on how thick the wood is, you do so on up to 10 occasions. But why do it? Here, we look at some of the many benefits.
Increase your floor’s lifespan
It’s true that hardwood flooring isn’t always the cheapest option for your home. But if you sand it regularly, you can significantly enhance its longevity. In fact, some hardwood floors have lasted for three centuries or longer.
Removal of built-up stains and dust
Once you’ve sanded your floor, you’ll be able to enjoy a super-smooth surface with no dents or scratches. These typically draw dust and dirt to them, and this usually accumulates. With a sanded floor, a quick once-over with a mop from time to time is enough to keep it in tip-top condition.
Keep your flooring looking gorgeous
Sanding can transform even the most dilapidated-looking floor. And it removes all those unsightly signs of wear and tear. So you’ll be surprised at what a difference it can make to your floor’s appearance. Proper sanding means it will remain looking warm and cosy, while creating a welcoming feel for everyone who lives in or visits your home.
What’s more, first impressions are key, not least if you’re trying to sell a property. A beautiful sanded hardwood floor certainly attracts the eye when someone first walks into the room. It means that stains, scratches and dirt will no longer be apparent. So, actually, floor sanding can even actively enhance the value of your property.
It actively improves safety
Unsanded floors can develop splinters and cracks. And these can pose a danger to pets, children or family members. With sanding, you greatly reduce these risks, and create a safer environment for everyone who walks over your floor.
