Sanding takes the right machine, the right grit sequence and an even hand; done wrong it leaves waves and marks that only a second sanding removes. We quote it with the finish included.
Vinyl handles water best and is the easiest to clean. Laminate is quick to lay and hard-wearing. Wood can be sanded and refinished for decades. We tell you which fits the room and the budget.
Sweep regularly, clean with a damp cloth rather than a wet one, and keep felt pads under furniture. A new coat of finish every few years keeps the wood protected.
