Sanding 101: What type of floorboards do you have?
Before you think about sanding and finishing your floorboards, you need to find out what type of wooden flooring you have. You may not have too much difficulty in spotting a pine floor, but what if your pine floorboards have been stained to look like a hardwood? And how do you tell whether you have solid planks or engineered wood flooring? Here's how to find out.
Soft or hardwood?
This is a simple test - just try pushing a fingernail into the wood. If it leaves an impression, then you have a softwood floor and you'll need to apply several coats of a polyurethane finish to make it as dent resistant as possible. But beware, add too many coats and your floor can end up making it look plasticized and you'll need to re-sand and refinish the boards.
Which wood species do you have?
Try scraping off a little of the finish on an inconspicuous part of the floor - inside a cupboard is ideal. Try scraping just one floorboard in the direction of the grain, which makes it easier to refinish neatly. Now compare the colour and the grain to woods in the Wood Database to discover what flooring you have.
Engineered or solid?
It's vital to know whether you have engineered or solid wood floors before you switch on your sanding equipment. If an engineered wood floor has an insufficient wear layer, you run the risk of exposing the plywood underneath. To find out, simply pry up the finishing strip in the doorway, or remove a piece of the skirting board to expose the edge of a plank. Now use a mirror to examine the cross section - if you see layers of plywood then you have engineered wood and you'll need to measure the depth of the wear layer.
Simply slip a piece of card between the planks, or between the plank and the wall, and make a mark where the hardwood layer finishes. If your wear layer is 3mm, or your solid wood flooring is wearing down to the tongue and groove, then think about using professional floor sanding specialists to do the job. However, properly sanded, finished and maintained, your wood flooring will last for decades.
