Solid wood floors can be sanded and refinished a number of times, which is a big positive when considering what type of floor works best for your home. Modern day sanding machines are dust free and a professional can sand and refinish your solid wood floor with minimal disruption and have your solid wood floor looking like brand new. You can even choose to stain your wood floor a new colour during this process meaning your solid wood floor can evolve with new interiors trends.
Engineered wood floors can also be sanded and refinished in most cases. This is dependent on the ‘wear-layer’ of your floor. An engineered wood could have up to 6mm of the surface material (Oak/Ash/Maple etc.), meaning you could have this layer sanded and refinished just like a solid oak floor. The difference being a smaller wear layer means you likely won’t be able to sand and refinish an engineered floor quite as many times as you could sand and refinish a solid wood floor.
