Choose the Right Sanding Equipment
Quality tools make a difference.
Use a professional-grade drum sander for large areas.
Opt for an edge sander for corners and tight spaces.
Ensure sanders are well-maintained.
Dull blades or belts slow progress.
They also risk uneven finishes.
Rent from trusted suppliers in Kenya.

Prepare the Room Thoroughly
Clear the space completely.
Remove furniture, rugs, and decorations.
Cover vents to block dust.
Seal doorways with plastic sheets.
Check the floor for nails or staples.
Hammer down or remove them.
A clean room prevents damage to sanders.
It also ensures a smoother process.

Use the Correct Grit Sequence
Start with coarse sandpaper, like 36-grit.
It removes old finishes and scratches.
Progress to medium grits, such as 60 or 80.
This smooths the surface further.
Finish with fine grits, like 120 or higher.
Fine grits create a polished look.
Skipping grits leads to uneven results.
Always sand with the wood grain.

Sand in Stages for Best Results
Don’t rush the process.
Sand the entire floor with each grit.
Work in small sections for control.
Overlap passes to avoid missed spots.
Vacuum between each grit change.
This removes dust that can scratch the floor.
Patience ensures a flawless finish.

Protect Your Health and Safety
Floor sanding creates dust.
Wear a dust mask or respirator.
Use safety goggles to shield your eyes.
Ear protection reduces noise exposure.
Ensure proper ventilation in the room.
Open windows or use fans.
Dust can irritate lungs and skin.

Apply Finish Evenly After Sanding
Choose a high-quality floor finish.
Polyurethane or water-based finishes work well.
Apply thin, even coats with a brush or roller.
Allow each coat to dry fully.
Lightly sand between coats with fine sandpaper.
This ensures a smooth, durable surface.
Uneven application causes blotches.
