Floor Sanding......Before or After the room is Decorated

Hello and welcome to another WFR Blog Post.


Today's offering is a query many clients ask and can be quite important in the scheduling of all the trades involved in the overall renovation of a room or area.


The question is:-"Do I Get My Floor Sanded Before or After the Room is Decorated ?"


If you are hiring the standard low quality Floor Sanding equipment from a hire shop and doing the flooring renovation works yourself, then I would without question say do the Floor Sanding works first....then the decorating, I say this because most hire shop equipment has quite poor dust capture, meaning there will quite literally be 'Dust Everywhere'.


So for days afterwards you will be cleaning, dusting, vacuuming then cleaning dusting and vacuuming some more....You get the picture......


Whereas  professional standard Floor Sanding equipment used by any self respecting Floorsanding Professional has extremely good dust capture, usually around 95% + of any dust particulates created in the floor sanding process. So very small amounts of residual dust may be evident after the floors are Sanded, but these amounts are really minimal and won't damage/effect your newly decorated room in any way whatsoever.


In summary if you are doing the Floor Sanding works yourself with basic hire shop machinery then its a good idea to Sand first then decorate......However if you are employing a reputable professional company to undertake the works it doesn't really matter whether the works are done before or after the decorating is finished.


I myself have Sanded Floors the day after decorating works have been finished and it hasn't had the slightest impact on the overall project.
