Refinishing hardwood floors Here is
some important information regarding hardwood floors that might come
in very handy: Good quality engineered flooring can
be refinished two or even three times depending on sub floor's smoothness and experience of refinisher.
The quality of the wear layer determines frequency of refinishing
hardwood floors. Poor quality products can not withstand being
refinished even once. The thicker the wear layer, the more
refinishing it can withstand.
Refinishing hardwood floor is a time consuming process and requires the proper
techniques, tools and patience for the best results. The process consists of
three stages: sanding, staining and finishing. You can rent a floor sander from
a home improvement store or flooring company. It is a heavy equipment you may
need assistance in using it. Remove any nails, staples or tacks from the floor
to prevent tearing the sand paper.

stain in the corner to see whether it is of your choice or not. With the help of
a brush apply stain in the room.
