Home / Engineered Floor Sanding in London

Engineered wood floors are designed with a real wood top layer, which can be carefully sanded and refinished when worn. However, unlike solid wood, they require a more controlled and precise approach.

Our team has experience working with engineered flooring and understands the limits of the wear layer. We use professional sanding equipment to remove surface damage without compromising the structure of the floor.

Is Engineered Wood Flooring Suitable for Sanding?

Not all engineered floors can be sanded multiple times. The ability to sand depends on the thickness of the top layer.

In most cases:

  • Floors with a 3mm+ wear layer can be sanded
  • Light sanding is recommended for thinner layers
  • Deep sanding may not be suitable for all floors

We always assess the floor before starting and advise on the best approach.

Why Engineered Floors Need a Different Approach

Engineered wood flooring reacts differently to sanding compared to solid wood. Over-sanding can damage the top layer, so it’s important the process is carried out by experienced professionals.

We adjust our sanding technique and pressure depending on the type of flooring to ensure a safe and high-quality finish.

Finish Options

After sanding, the choice of finish plays a key role in both the appearance and durability of your engineered wood flooring. The right finish not only enhances the natural grain of the wood but also provides long-term protection against daily wear, foot traffic and spills.

We offer a range of professional finishes to match your preferred look and level of maintenance:

  • Ultra matt - a very natural look with almost no shine, ideal for a modern and subtle
  • Matt - a soft, low-sheen finish that is practical and easy to maintain
  • Satin – a slightly more durable option with a gentle sheen, offering extra protection in high-traffic areas
