  One way to tackle this is to buy a small piece of wood which is the same colour as the boards and put stain on this it may not give exactly the same result as the finished job but it can help you make the right decision. If you do go this route, make sure that you choose either water based or spirit based and do not mix them together. Floor Sanding-How To Stain - Once the stain or stains have been chosen the floor needs to have been sanded properly so that it ends up being smooth and silky. It is best to mask skirting boards, pipes and anything else that needs masking. Before staining you will need to have plenty of rags, rubber gloves, a roller tray, black bags and a one inch brush. You need to work quite quickly and be generous with the amount of stain you apply. The reason this job takes two people is because one is there to do the staining and the other is behind them to wipe off the excess. The brush is to use on the skirting boards and any areas that need more precision. The stain goes into the roller tray which is on top of a black bag as you work.
  
  All types of wooden flooring can be laid over practically any sub-floor, including floorboards, concrete, old tiles or a boarded surface, as long as the surface is sound, dry and flat. Reclaimed timber flooring, however, is a slightly different proposition as it won't be neatly cut to size and it's also difficult to judge what it will look like once it's been finished. Take advice from the supplier on how much to buy and which finish to choose, and always ensure that you've bought enough - it will be tiresome to track down similar boards elsewhere. It's also worth experimenting with cleaning andor finishes on a spare board before installation. As it is an integral part of the room and colour scheme, you should choose your timber floor at the start of the redecoration or refurbishment project. According to how light or dark the floor is, it can affect how paint and paper colours appear. Although some timber flooring, such as parquet, solid hardwood and reclaimed boards, can be darkened or lightened by sanding down and re-varnishing, it's not a job you are likely to want to do very often. Types of Timber Flooring - Solid Wood - Made from the named timbers, these are solid all the way through. Some types are suitable for installation as the structural floor without needing a sub-floor underneath.
  
  This means taking anything out of the room that could receive damage, like furniture, tables, and drapes. Then make sure that you check for any boards that have become loose, and nail them back down. If there are nails that have started sticking out of the boards, just nail them back down. Be sure that when you rent the machines you also get the different types of sandpaper that will be needed. 2) As you begin your hardwood floor refinishing, you will need to be sure that you are sanding the wood in the exact direction of the floorboards. You will need to go over each area a few times until the new part is revealed. You should work in rows, and then turn off the machine and sand where you were standing. The next thing you need to remember in hardwood floor installation is to use the edger. You need to get into the parts of the room that the drum sander couldn't get to.
  
  Allow a few hours of drying time, and then sand again with the same sand paper used for the initial sand. You should be able to see spots that have gone back through to the concrete and also other patches that should have gone a bit shiny. Start by pouring some Tuff Coat Concrete around the edges and brush up close to the skirting with a cheap paint brush. Using a 12mm nap lamb's wool roller, apply the correct amount of Tuff Coat Concrete (instructions on the can) evenly to the entire floor, working across the garage in even rows. Once dry, repeat the above procedure of application for a perfect, polished concrete "look" floor that will be easy to maintain, dust free and stain resistant. If you do need to re coat years down the track, just give a light sand and repeat the above procedure. It is simple to use, just pour straight from the can with no messy mixing required. Tuff Coat Concrete may be tinted to an opaque or solid colour or sprinkled with powdered glass for a non slip floor. Worn, marred, and dirty flooring can detract from the look of your entire home, but replacing your existing floors can cost a ton of money.
  
  Therefore, sanding is absolutely necessary to a custom hardwood floor's installation and its ultimate value to the property. Hardwood floors that are installed in your home may need finishes or coatings. You need to ensure that you apply finish to this type of flooring so that the luster and splendor can be restored. However, there are ways or steps that you can apply in order to perfectly put the right finish to your floors. Before you start the process of finishing your hardwood, you will need to put in place the necessary tools needed for the job. You can get them from the local hardware stores around you or even order them online. The tools are floor finish (water-based or oil based), rough and fine sand paper, cleaning towels, dust masks, floor sanders, finishing brushes, protective goggles and vacuum that has an attachment for host. Now, the steps to finishing your hardwood floor begin with you preventing the spread of dust to interfere with your finishing work. Sanding the hardwood floors in from the middle of the room may eventually give you more stress.
  
  Removing wall coverings such as pictures, knickknacks, curtains and the like may reduce cleaning of dust later on, and is optional. Sweep or vacuum the floor to be sanded to pick up household dirt, pet hair and grit. Check the floors for nails, tacks or other debris that might rip the sandpaper. Remove any moldings, baseboard or shoe molding so the sander doesn't damage it. Remove any floor grates for heating duct and or ac vents along with any other objects that might be in the way. Expect the floors to be unusable for 2 to 3 days, especially once the finishing process has begun. Tools Floor Sander and edger, Coarse, medium and fine sandpaper, Wide Brooms, Shop Vacuum, Dust masks, Gloves, Floor wax or Polyurethane finish, Wood Stain (optional) Rags, brushes and rollers - Renting a Sander Check with your local home improvement store or other equipment rental store for their options on drum and orbital sanders. This retailer will also have some of the other equipment you need, such as dust mask, gloves and sandpaper that fits the exact machine you are renting, etc. Ask for a demonstration on how to use the machine and practice sanding a piece of plywood or other scrap wood before attempting on the floor.
