Parquet floor refinishing question

Feb 22, 2004 2 Replies

I pulled up some old carpeting in my house and discovered oak Parquet floor! It looks like it could be saved if I could figure out a way to sand it down a bit. The pattern has the grain going in different direction. Any ideas on how to get the job done? Thanks,

Chemical stripper? Or maybe a ROS and a 55-gallon drum of elbow grease? Or, maybe rent a big-ass ROS (do they even make such an animal?) and do it that way. OR rent a floor sander and do most of the work, then clean it up with a ROS?

I'm just shooting from the hip, here. Maybe this can spark something that will work for you.

There is a multi pad ROS for floors. It is especially needed for refinishing the engineered wood floors that are a layer of plywood on top. Ed snipped-for-privacy@snet.net
