Rather than replacing it, sanding and revarnishing usually recovers the wood completely, keeps the character of the original floor and costs considerably less than a full replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Parquet Sanding and Varnishing
How much does acuchillado (sanding) of a parquet floor cost per m² in Burgos?
Price depends on the wood thickness, the number of passes needed and the finish chosen. Floors with deep scratches, old wax or dark stains usually need more preparation. We give an exact price after checking the wood on-site.
Is it worth sanding an old parquet floor instead of replacing it?
In most historic-centre flats with solid wood parquet, yes. Sanding is usually cheaper than a full replacement and preserves the original wood, which is often thicker and higher quality than modern engineered products.
How much dust does sanding produce?
Modern sanding machines with dust extraction significantly reduce airborne dust compared to older equipment, though some fine dust is still expected. We seal off adjoining rooms and protect furniture that cannot be removed.
How long does the varnish need to cure before moving furniture back in?
Light foot traffic is usually possible after 24 to 48 hours, but we recommend waiting several more days before placing rugs or heavy furniture so the varnish reaches full hardness.
