Transforming 1,000 sq ft of Hardwood
For our customer I.W. in Manhattan, we recently undertook a 1,000 sq ft hardwood floor sanding and refinishing project. Sanding and refinishing breathe new life into hardwood floors by removing wear and tear and restoring their natural beauty. This renovation aimed to maintain the wood’s original color, applying a natural finish with no stain for a classic and timeless look.
Preparing the Floor for Refinishing
The first step was carefully sanding the entire 1,000 sq ft of hardwood flooring. Sanding is essential in refinishing as it removes old finishes, scratches, and imperfections. This process creates a smooth, even surface that highlights the wood’s natural grain. Proper sanding ensures the floor is ready to absorb the finish evenly, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

Achieving a Natural, Timeless Finish
I.W. chose a natural finish to preserve the hardwood’s original charm without altering its color. This decision reflects a preference for classic elegance, allowing the wood’s natural beauty to shine. After sanding, we meticulously applied three coats of water-based polyurethane. This durable finish not only enhances the wood’s appearance but also provides essential protection against daily wear and tear.
Long-Lasting Protection for Hardwood Floors
The application of three coats of water-based polyurethane is a critical step in ensuring the longevity of hardwood floors. This protective layer makes the flooring resistant to scratches, moisture, and other potential damage, while maintaining a sleek, satin finish. For I.W., this refinishing project revitalized their hardwood floors, giving the space a fresh, polished appearance and improving the overall ambiance of their home.
