How Many Times Can a Wood Floor be Sanded? By Brett Miller

Multi-Head Sanders: What You Need to Know By Wayne Lee Every floor sander has a different style, process, trick, and tool that they use. Picking the tool that fits our style goes back to how they cut, where they cut, scratch imperfection, and body fatigue. Features, benefits, scratch, and my all-time favorite question – how does this affect me?

Wood floors are a durable and renewable flooring option that can be refinished multiple times throughout their lifespan. However, the amount of material that will be removed and the number of times a floor can be sanded depends on several factors, including the type of wood, the thickness of the wear layer, the skill of the contractor, the flatness of the floor, and the equipment used to sand the floor.
