Hardwood Restoration
Hardwood Floor
Sanding in Edinburgh & the Lothians
The Bona planetary system — a gentler, flatter, 99.5% dust-free restoration that preserves more of your floor's life.
The Philosophy
An original floor is irreplaceable.
Solid hardwood can only be sanded so many times in its life. Every restoration should remove as little as possible — and be done right the first time.
“We take off the least timber possible — so your floor lasts for generations, not years.”
The Method
Why our method protects your floor
Most sanding is still done with heavy, single-drum machines. They cut fast — and unforgivingly. We use the Bona planetary system instead.
The traditional drum sander
- Aggressive single drum — easy to gouge or leave chatter marks in inexperienced hands
- Removes more timber than necessary on every pass
- Often leaves edges and corners uneven
- Heavy dust without a sealed extraction system
The Bona planetary system
- Multiple counter-rotating discs for a flatter, more even cut
- Gentler and more controlled — preserving more of your floor's life for future generations
- Consistent result across the whole floor, edges included
- 99.5% dust-free through sealed extraction
The result: a beautiful, even finish today — and a floor with more years of life left in it for the future.
