Parquet floor sanding requires a lot of craftsmanship, dedication, attention to details. Unlike treating and performing the service for solid wood or engineered wood floors, parquet floor sanding involves a lot of delicate jobs, sometimes done by hand. When it comes to traditional hardwood flooring, it is easy to determine the direction of the wood’s grain and sand with it. Every wooden floor should be sanded with the grain and never against it, otherwise there is a high risk of damaging the floorboards beyond repair.
