Can You Refinish 3 8 Hardwood

Hi i have 3 8 engineered hardwood flooring with bevelled edges.

Can you refinish 3 8 hardwood.

Solid hardwood is generally 3 4 thick where as most engineered hardwoods are 3 8 or 1 2 thick. Traditionally hardwood flooring was always installed as unfinished planks that were then stained and finished with a protective surface layer right on the worksite. The second reason to refinish engineered hardwood flooring is that you want to change the stain color of the wood. Buffing hardwood floors can be tricky so if you ve never used a buffer before practice in the middle of the room until you get a feel for how to maneuver it.

However homes built before the 1920s often have floors that are only 1 4 to 3 8 of an inch thick due to different milling standards. Can be sanded and refinished 2 to 3 times. I would like to at the very least screen and recoat preferrably refinish the floor. We offer many options of engineered hardwood flooring with thicker wear layers that will help to extend the lifespan of your.

There are two types of prefinished hardwood floors. These floors can only handle a full sanding and refinish 2 3 times. Generally these are 3 4 of an inch thick. Can you give me any advice on how to sand or get the old finish out of the bevelled edges that sits in between the planks.

Removing 1mm to 1 5mm of the wear layer should do this on most floors. Hardwood flooring materials are available in a range of thicknesses but solid hardwood flooring generally ranges between 5 16 to 3 4 inch thick. Oil based polys are cheaper but each coat takes about 8 hours to dry. But since the introduction of prefinished solid hardwood during the 1940s this newer form of flooring has become increasingly popular and today you may find that it s easier to find than traditional unfinished hardwood planks.

Can be sanded and refinished 3 to 6 times. Removing 1mm to 1 5mm of the wear layer should do this on most floors. Take a look at this project and you will like what. The easiest way to determine the thickness is if you or the previous owner has extra pieces left over.

If you are not sure about the wear layer of a floor you ve purchased from us give us a call. If you have the solid wood type you can absolutely refinish it usually between four and seven times before the floor would need to be completely replaced.
