Why paper makes a huge difference to the floor-sanding process
Professional dust-free floor sanding utilises three types of sandpaper: course, medium-grade and fine. If you’re considering having your wood floor sanded, you may be wondering why three different grades of sandpaper are used. We’d like to help you understand the role that each grade plays and why they have to be used in conjunction with one another to achieve the best results. That’s why we’d like to devote today’s blog to examining them. You might be surprised by how varied their roles are and how important each one really is.
1. Coarse sandpaper
If you’ve ever attempted to sand your own floor, you’ve probably used this type of paper. Its rough texture allows it to scrape away bumps, splinters and other imperfections. It can also level the wood around pits and dents and remove any finishes that might previously have been applied to the boards. Coarse sandpaper is applied to restore wood floors to their default appearance and make them generally more even. However, it isn’t very precise, so it can’t be used to correct minor flaws or achieve a perfectly smooth surface.
2. Medium grade sandpaper
Medium grade sandpaper is fantastic for removing tough (or unusually thick) finishes and lacquers. Unlike coarse sandpaper, it isn’t usually used to sand an entire floor because it isn’t rough enough to reliably remove large imperfections. Instead, it is used to remove stubborn finishes from localised areas of flooring in order to prepare them for more thorough sanding.
3. Fine sandpaper
All sandpaper is covered in minuscule bumps and grooves: these give the paper its abrasive quality. The bumps and grooves are much smaller and closer together in fine sandpaper than in the other two varieties. This means that it isn’t rough enough to remove larger imperfections or remove thick finishes. However, its finer grain can catch and remove very small imperfections that coarse sandpaper and medium grade sandpaper would miss. Fine sandpaper is used on a floor after coarse sandpaper and medium sandpaper have made it even and removed its finish. It rubs out any remaining tiny pits and nodules, creating a perfectly smooth surface.
All three types of sandpaper have to be used to ensure that a floor is properly sanded. If only one type is used, imperfections and patches of finish will be left untouched. Here at The Floor Sanding Contractors, we scrupulously use all three grades of sandpaper to create beautifully smooth, even floors.
