  Question

  Can You Restore 3-Strip Engineered Wood Flooring?

  I have 3-strip engineered oak flooring which desperately needs sanding. It is currently lacquered, but I was wondering if it can be sanded and oiled instead?

    Answer

    Three strip oak floorings usually come with 3 mm top layers and unless it has been sanded before it should be possible to restore. Once the existing sealant is completely removed through the sanding process, is perfectly fine to change the sealant from lacquer oil.

    Before you make the final decision on the most appropriate type of sealant for your Engineered Wood Flooring restoration, bear in mind that oiled floors require more frequent maintenance and re-oiling to ensure long lasting protection.
