Engineered wood floor sanding & restorationEngineered wood floors are very common now — especially engineered oak — and in many cases they can be successfully restored. The key is whether there is enough wear layer (the solid timber layer on top) to allow sanding.
Can an engineered wood floor be sanded?Often yes — provided the wear layer is sufficient and the floor hasn’t already been sanded too many times. Some engineered boards have a thick wear layer and can be sanded, while others are thinner and need a more cautious approach.
Because every floor is different, the first step is always to assess:

• the thickness of the wear layer
• the condition of the surface (scratches, staining, dull walkways)
• whether the floor has a bevel, hand-scraped texture, or heavy factory finish
• how the boards are laid (plank, herringbone, etc.)

What a professional restoration involvesIf the floor is suitable, we will:

1. Prepare and sand the surface carefully to remove worn finish and damage
2. Carry out any appropriate filling/repairs where needed
3. Refinish with a professional, hard-wearing system to restore a clean, even appearance
4. Protect the floor for long-term durability and easier maintenance

Honest advice before you commitEngineered floors are not all the same. If the wear layer is thin, we’ll tell you straight away and advise the best option — whether that’s a light refresh, a partial approach, or leaving the floor as-is.

• a few clear photos of the room (standing back)
• a couple of close-ups of the boards (including any worn areas)
• your rough room size (m²)
