Why is it necessary to sand your floor?

Voici pourquoi l est important de sabler son plancher : Les planchers en bois sont r\u00e9put\u00e9s pour leur r\u00e9sistance au temps et aux incidents quotidiens. Un bon plancher peut durer des d\u00e9cennies, voire des centaines d\u2019ann\u00e9es. Mais pour cela, il faut en prendre en soin. Le plancher n\u2019a pas besoin d\u2019un soin quotidien particulier, une fois qu\u2019il a \u00e9t\u00e9 prot\u00e9g\u00e9, que ce soit avec de l\u2019huile ou du vernis, il peut tenir plusieurs ann\u00e9es en gardant sa couleur. Mais de temps en temps, tous les 5, 10 ou 20 ans suivant l\u2019utilisation du plancher, il est n\u00e9cessaire d\u2019effectuer un sablage pour lui redonner sa couleur originelle et enlever les imperfections caus\u00e9es par des \u00e9gratignures ou des taches d\u2019humidit\u00e9. \n Qu\u2019est-ce que le sablage de plancher \n On parle de sablage de plancher lorsque l\u2019on effectue le pon\u00e7age de toute la surface.

Le sablage de plancher consiste \u00e0 poncer trois fois toute la surface du plancher en utilisant un grain allant du plus gros au plus petit.

A good floor can last decades or even hundreds of years. But for that, you have to take care of it. The floor does not need special daily care; once it has been protected, whether with oil or varnish, it can last for several years while keeping its color. But from time to time, every 5, 10 or 20 years following use of the floor, it is necessary to sand it to restore its original color and remove imperfections caused by scratches or moisture stains.

What is floor sanding

We speak of floor sanding when we sand the entire surface. The abrasive papers which allow the operation have different types of grains, hence the term sandblasting. Floor sanding consists of sanding the entire surface of the floor three times using a grain ranging from the largest to the smallest. The first pass removes traces of varnish and coarser stains while the last provides a final finish to the floor.

How to sand the floor?

Floor sanding is carried out using a specific machine consisting of a sander and a vacuum cleaner which will suck up all the dust. In the past, the disadvantage of sanding was the dust that the wood generated during the process. The latest developments in terms of machinery now make it possible to carry out floor sanding without dust.

It is entirely possible to rent a sandblasting machine and do it yourself. However, we recommend calling on professionals to carry out the operation. Indeed, floor sanding requires a particular technique so as not to create irrecoverable irregularities in the floor. If we press too much , there is a risk of bumps appearing.

And after floor sanding?

Floor sanding allows you to give your floor a second lease of life, but this operation is not enough in itself. Indeed, once the sanding is done, you must take care of the floor by protecting it. There are several techniques. The traditional alternative which also remains the most ecological is to apply oil to the floor. This method has the disadvantage that it must be repeated more often. This can range from every year to every 3 years depending on the use of the floor. The nailpolish has the advantage of being more resistant to time, but less ecological during manufacturing

It is also possible to paint the floor with a particular paint which protect at the same time wood. You can also apply a stain to keep the natural color of the wood. The tint has no protective effect and must be combined with a varnish or application of an oil.

Then, you just have to take care of the floor by placing pads under the furniture and paying particular attention to flooding.
