Floor sanding around furniture

Most people live in homes which don’t have proper proportions, therefore moving furniture in and out of different rooms or even outside the residential space can be a big hassle. Living in the city does come with some disadvantages like not having proper home proportions which could be a bummer, especially when you want to take care of your floors. Some of the reasons why tenants would delay important wood floor refinishing projects are influenced by the lack of space mobility in the property they reside in.

• Not having enough storage space available in the apartment means that it wouldn’t be possible for anyone to properly sand the entire floor, while there are sofas or bookshelves getting in the way.
• Some furniture pieces are so big, that it would be incredibly hard to take them out of the room they were in, without any disassembling.
• Most often our customers aren’t capable of either moving or disassembling their furniture.

These are a few of the main hardships people may experience when figuring out how to both have their floors repaired and deal with all the furniture which is standing in the way.

Our company has come up with a great solution which will put an end to all of the mentioned worries.

How do we sand wood floors with furniture on them?

If the furniture pieces are too big and we can’t take them out of the room we’re working in or there is no free space where they could be stored, we divide the space in two halves. This side-to-side method allows us to work in the area that is empty, while everything is stored in the other part of the room. After we finish working in the first half of the room and wait for the floorboards to dry, we move all the furniture to the now sanded area of the room. We finish sanding the second half of the wood floor and then we put all the furniture pieces in their initial places.

No sofa is heavy enough to discourage our working process, because we have a special moving system, which allows us to move furniture with an estimated weight of up to 600 kg.

Our company provides extra caution and attention when working in any indoor space. We make sure that everything we have moved around will be put back where we have initially found it. That’s why we take a picture of the room before the sanding process, that way we know how exactly to arrange the furniture pieces. After the new surface of the wooden floor dries out, we come back when the client finds most comfortable for them, and we make sure everything is put back in its place.

Wood floors are beautiful, authentic and are indeed in a way an exceptional and essential interior design piece of every indoor space. Sanding your floors is both good for the stylish appearance of the floorboards and is also an important sanitation process.
