This is my epic parquet floor restoration transformation video! You get to see this parquet sanded and finished from start to finish. Before and after and everything in between.
howtosandafloo...
This floor is an Iroko herringbone parquet floor around 50 years old. Iroko is known for having a bad reaction with some finishes as it has salts (calcium) in the grain of the wood.
I start with a rough grit sanding, progress through to fine grits then move to the finishing sander, then filling and then again with the finishing/orbital sanders.
I love this parquet wood flooring! it has such a beautiful colour and grain. It has the iridescent ribbons that can give it such a beautiful 3D appearance.
You may notice that I completely changed direction when sanding with the big machine. This shouldn't be news to those who have read my parquet floor sanding guide. Which can be found here:
howtosandafloor...
I have to apologise for the quality of the video, I will be buying a new camera so I can get 2 shots, both with high-quality cameras.

The saddest part of this, - is the fact that so few people can percieve the difference between your perfectionism & a cowboys substandard effort. BTW - This is an outstanding result, - Best of the best......( from a 20yr. floor sanding vet.)

@cleatusfaheatus27 Год назад

I got a question to a old head in the business… say your sanding a harring bone floor and you don’t have them trio machines how do you sand them with big machine and not leave them cross cut marks for when they use a stain and not just clear coat?? Jw I been in the business for bout 3 or so years and was jw for the future thanks!!

After you try to refinish a floor yourself once, you will know for sure how to tell a pro job from cowboy’s. You will know it from your own mistakes and from understanding of what is really difficult in this job vs what people _think_ is difficult.

@CheeseBae 6 месяцев назад

When I do this I use Bona products, so you just have to match the filler color with the type of wood. So if it's a white oak floor then I use Bona Pacific Filler in the white oak color. Then use the Bona sealer and top coat of your choice.

@marki0389 2 года назад

I love how the floor looks at minute 5:48. Is there any way to keep that look?

@CheeseBae 6 месяцев назад

Yes, for your sealer use Bona NaturalSeal. It has a subtle pigment in it to give it the "just sanded" look. Next put on two top coats of Bona Mega One or Bona Traffic HD in the "Extra Matte" sheen level. If it's a commercial job, then you do three top coats.

@niknoks7638 2 года назад

New subscriber here love your vids ….Q: what grit number sandpapers do you recommend from course to finish? And what finishing emulsion do you recommend? TIA 👍

@CheeseBae 6 месяцев назад

The grit you use depends on how badly the floor is damaged. If it's damaged pretty bad, then start a the lowest grit you can find. If it's a new installation, then I typically start with a 36 grit since the boards can sometimes have a "lip" that's higher than its neighbor. If it's an older floor that's not damaged and is already flat, so that you just want to remove the existing finish, then I start at an 80 grit. Wherever you start at, you want to make sure you only skip no more than one grit level. So if you start at 36 grit, then you can skip 40 grit, but you can't skip 60 grit. So the grit pattern looks like 36, then 60, then 100, etc. to the final grit that's recommended on the bottle of the finish you're using. If you're ever in doubt then don't skip the next highest grit level, just go through each one of them. It will take longer, but you're less likely to leave any unsightly scratches or marks in the floor.

@furiookami 5 лет назад

hey bro if wood has paint on it do you strip it off first or just go right down to sanding

@laurenceosborne4261 5 лет назад

furiookami depends on how many layers of paint it’s had, I’ve worked in a school where it had been painted so many times we had to use a special drum cover in blades to cut it away. 1-3 layers; just crack on with the sanding, nice low grit, 24 maybe. Belts may last longer if you only go backwards when removing the paint 👍🏻

@AHretouching 4 года назад

Great video thanks for sharing. I suspect your other video doesn't get as many hits just because it says "How pros create floors like glass" on the thumbnail and high gloss floors have fallen out of fashion somewhat and show scratches more. I'd recommend changing the title and thumbnail to something along the lines of "DIY How to Sand Floors like a Pro" because most people probably don't search for 'refinishing' but rather 'sanding'.

@HowToSandAFloor 4 года назад

@HowToSandAFloor 2 года назад

Im not going to lie, the trio takes me a bit extra time. Ill usually belt to 80 grit, then drop to 60 on the trio without the flexi-rings, hard plate it flat. Fill it with the trip dust, take off the filler with the blunt 60s (sometimes having to put fresh 60's on, then 80 and 100 with flexi rings. Recently after 10+ years only using the trio with the weight on, I now never use the weight. I find it works just as well but the abrasives last longer

The beer bottle spilled on the sanded floor part and I let go of the sander to grab it and it started spinning in circles to the cord ripped out of the wall outlet. Between the outlet and the buffer was a gallon of polyurethane gallon can that smacked against the wall and the lid wasn’t on all the way because we opened it to look, as if we knew what we were looking at to begin with but smelled great.... think I was high also from fumes, anyway we have poly on the walls, ceiling and floors.
