Why Parquet Floors Need Specialist Sanding

Parquet floors are made up of small blocks of wood arranged in patterns. The blocks have different grain directions, which means sanding must be carried out carefully to avoid scratching or damaging the surface. Our team uses multi-directional sanding techniques and fine-grit finishing to ensure a smooth, even result across the entire floor.

Before sanding, we re-bond any loose blocks using specialist adhesive. This ensures a stable, secure surface for sanding and guarantees a long-lasting finish.

Hardwax oil is a popular choice as it enhances the natural grain and pattern. Lacquer provides a more durable, glossy finish. We help you choose the best option for your space.

A typical room takes 2–3 days including preparation, sanding, and finishing. Larger areas or floors needing extensive repairs may take longer.
