Do you sometimes think about how often a wooden floor should actually be sanded? You get an insight into this here, where you also get to know which factors affect how long the floor lasts before it should be sanded again.
Wooden floors are incredibly beautiful and do very well for the rooms where they are. Therefore, they are also used in many different types of properties. You typically see wooden floors in ordinary villas and apartments, but also in holiday homes and small and large companies.
If you have experienced the sight of a freshly sanded wooden floor, you also know how beautiful it looks. But even though the joy lasts for a long time, often for many years, everything also has an end. This also applies to wooden floors, where various factors, e.g. affects the appearance and durability of the floor – but which ones? And how often can you expect your wood floor to be sanded so that it can continue to look good?
How are the floors used?
All floors are subject to wear and tear when used. Therefore, it also means a lot for the appearance and durability of the Gulvafslibning, how and how much they are used.
Wooden floors in e.g. private homes can easily last for many years before they need to be sanded again. Although wear and tear happens daily, it is only by a few people, just as some areas are more exposed than others.
In companies where wear, on the other hand, takes place daily, the case is different, just as wooden floors in assembly houses are also an example of floors that are exposed to frequent use and wear. These floors rarely last as many years as in private homes. Therefore, a regrinding can come into play at intervals of just a few years.
How is the condition of the floors?
Some types of wood are stronger and more durable than others, which therefore also puts its mark on their strength and protection against wear and tear. However, an important factor is also what finishing the floors has. Varnish is e.g. the strongest and most durable finish, meaning it is typically used in housing associations, businesses and private homes with pets.
The thickness of the floor is another important factor. All floors have a limited number of planings and sandings in them, so if the floor has previously been sanded (and possibly planed), it is not necessarily certain that it can be sanded (or planed) again.
Do you take care of your floors?
Regular cleaning routines are important for the life of a wooden floor. The more you take care of the floor, the longer it should last before it has to be sanded and finished again. Therefore, one should i.e. clean its floors regularly and care for them as needed, e.g. if you have an oiled floor.
