Light Sanding

Light Sanding

At Alpha Floor Sanding Ltd, we offer light sanding and buffing services for wood floors, a process that gently removes the surface layer of finishes like varnish, lacquer, wax, or oil. This service is ideal for floors with minor scratches and wear, giving them a refreshed appearance without the need for full sanding.

When to Choose Light Sanding or Buffing

Light sanding is a great solution if your floor shows superficial wear or light scratches. However, if there are deep scratches or stains, full sanding to bare wood and a complete re-coating may be necessary to achieve the desired look and durability.

Our Process

  1. Specialised Equipment
    We use slow-rotating buffing machines designed for light sanding. Unlike traditional sandpaper, we utilise screen abrasives, which are less aggressive and effectively remove the top layer of the previous sealant. This method provides a smooth, even surface while preserving more of the wood.
  2. HEPA-Filtered Dust Extraction
    All of our equipment is connected to HEPA-filtered dust extraction units, keeping your premises clean and virtually dust-free during the work. This approach ensures minimal disruption and a tidy workspace.
  3. Results Comparable to a New Floor
    Light sanding and buffing not only restore the look of your floor but also prepare it for recoating, resulting in a finish that’s as impressive as a new floor.
