All these
floors share the following feature
which you need to take into
account when refinishing.
Virtually any floor that you
run your hand along feels flat.
However, if you did a side profile
section of an old floor, you
would notice that the individual
blocks/boards were anything
up to 3-4mm worn down at different
places. When the boards are
lifted and then relaid these
get all jumbled up, and they
are then put down in a random
way. Therefore you will usually
need the more aggressive 10
inch endless belt big machine
to level out these “steps”
even in a single-room project.
Because of the unevenness usually
associated with a newly-laid
reclaimed floor, it is best
to adhere to a directional sequence
of sanding. Full details are
included with the equipment
