  • Will it just be cheaper to replace this floor? Definitely not! You are way better off restoring your timber hardwood floor if it is structurally sound. Replacing it would be up to 5 times more expensive..
    First we go in with THE BIG MACHINE using 36grit and working all the way up to 120. Next we hit the floor with THE EDGER before hand scraping all the corners. After more sanding and buffing we are ready to coat with Berger-Seidle water based poly using a 3 coat system (FlexPrimer, SmartHome, CeramicStar Satin).
    Beautiful.. Done! All the marks have been sanded out and the floor has been restored to last another lifetime 👌🏻

    Looks great. After seeing several of these videos I conclude that the nails look better than the filled nail holes.

      What people might not understand is that the wood will darken with time. The filler will blend in much better in a year or 3.

    Real wood floors are gorgeous and feels warm and friendly. My sibling had engineered wood flooring placed on top of the real wood floor. The space now has a low budget, generic, no personality feel to it despite the fact that it's the same beautiful furnishings, the floor just cheapen the space.

      @johnp82 that is not true. They do it in many videos. Its a light sanding. Not more then 1/4 of an inch.......the nails are punched in. Filled in. Then sanded... or perhaps for a particular reason they didnt. But that is quite standard. Even for them!!!

    • @johnp82
      @johnp82 2 місяці тому +1

      @@oreokush5393 lt all depends on how much you have to sand and how deep you are able to sink the nails. The particular reason they didnt do it that way is that they wanted to avoid sanding too much which would make the nails reappear, which would be likely if you're removing a lot with an aggressive sander.
