- Real hardwood floors can be sanded 3 to 5 times.
- Every sanding will give a new look to the natural colour and beauty of the floor.
- Every time the floor is sanded, the customer can change the colour of the newly sanded floor.
- Site finished floors can be re-sanded every 5 -10 years to achieve a “new” look
- Site finished floors can be recoated with 1 coat of finish every 3-5 years to get a “fresh’ look.
