Sanding and Refinishing Bamboo Floors: A Step-by-Step Guide
At Floor, we understand the beauty and durability of bamboo flooring. However, over time, bamboo floors can become worn, scratched, or faded, and may require sanding and polishing to restore their original allure. In this guide, we’ll take you through the process we use to revitalise your bamboo floors.
Step 1: Preparation
Remove all furniture, rugs, and objects from the room
Clean the floors thoroughly to remove dirt and debris
Step 2: Sanding
Once the floors are clean and dry, it’s time to start sanding. We begin with coarse-grit sandpaper, such as 36 or 40, and work up to a finer grit, such as 120 or 150.
Step 3: Staining (Optional)
If you wish to change the color of your bamboo floors, we can apply a stain. We test the stain on a small area first to ensure it achieves the desired colour.
In conclusion, sanding and refinishing bamboo floors can be a great way to restore their beauty and durability. With the right tools and techniques, we can achieve a smooth and even surface, and protect your floors with a finish that enhances their natural beauty. By following these steps, you can enjoy your beautiful, refreshed bamboo floors for years to come.
