Some advices if you want to change your wood floor

WHAT TOOLS WILL I NEED?
Basically, you will need a drum sander and an edging sander. The hire shop will give you what you need and show you how to use the machines. No need to worry though as it was really simple!

ARE THERE ANY OTHER TOOLS OR EQUIPMENT THAT I’LL NEED?
Hammer, nail punch, sandpaper, vacuum cleaner oh, and lots of room in your bin!

WHAT PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WILL I NEED?
Dust masks, ear protection, sensible shoes.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I HAVE TO P
REPARE?
Make sure your floor is completely flat and nail free. Every guide states that you should punch every nail of your floorboards into the wood so that it’s about 2mm under the surface.

Wood as a material base is a porous and vulnerable. Many people today usually choose to help their floors last longer as protecting them against moisture with sanding. A simple test to find out your floor condition is to place a drop of water on it- if the drop isn’t absorbed, or takes a few minutes to soak in,this mean that your wooden floor may be in good shape, but in case the drop soaks in immediately- this mean that it is time for renovation !
