Tools For Sanding and Varnishing a Wooden Floor

Posted by Bob Bulmer on Thu 25th October 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in DIY Adding Value TipsFloor Finishes

It seems that exposed floor boards are everywhere nowadays and for good reason. Their easy to clean, they look contemporary and their cheap (so long as you have decent floor boards in the first place). Some real estate agents even claim they can clinch a house sale

So, assuming you have half decent floor boards and want to make them useable, you’re gonna need to sand and varnish. The tools you need include:

• Protective face mask.

• Floor sanding machine. Best to hire this.

• Nail punch.

• Claw hammer.

• Sanding belts of coarse, medium and fine.

• Edging sander.

• Ear protectors.

• Paint roller.

• A variety of paint brush sizes.

• Steel wool.

• Floor varnish which can be gloss, satin or matt.
