99% Dust-Free Floor Sanding

Our dust-free floor sanding process removes the existing varnish and a thin layer of wood using professional sanding paper. This process is carried out with advanced sanding machines equipped with high-performance vacuum systems, significantly reducing dust. This meticulous sanding process restores the natural beauty of the wood, eliminating stains, scratches, impact marks, and scuffs. We then apply finishing products—stain, varnish, or oil—to customize the color and finish of your floor according to your preferences.

To achieve 99% dust-free floor sanding, our specialists use state-of-the-art equipment. You can rest assured that your furniture and surrounding surfaces will not be covered in dust.

Eco-Friendly and Durable Varnishes

PLANCHERS GUY BÉDARD ET FILS is proud to be one of the first floor sanding companies in Canada to offer Berger-Seidle varnishes, a manufacturer that places worker safety and environmental protection at the core of its priorities. These varnishes contain no VOCs (volatile organic compounds). EC1 certified, they pose no health risks and are ultra-resistant, making them ideal for high-traffic residential and commercial spaces.

The water-based varnishes we use on hardwood and engineered wood floors also contain plant-based oils that enhance the natural appearance of the wood. These oils highlight the grain patterns and enrich the wood’s color, while providing long-lasting protection.

How Floor Sanding Is Performed

Although a floor can be sanded several times over the years, it must be done with great care. Using the proper equipment (edgers, polishers, and belt sanders) and effective techniques is essential. Uniform sanding is the key to a successful restoration—over-sanding certain areas can be extremely damaging.

Surface preparation including cleaning, stain and residue removal, as well as repairing damaged boards is a crucial step. During the sanding process, our team sands the hardwood planks in the direction of the wood grain, starting with coarse sandpaper and gradually moving to finer grits. In hard-to-reach areas, hand sanding may be required. The entire surface is then polished to perfection, followed by the uniform application of varnish.

Hardwood and Engineered Floor Refinishing

Our team also offers a hardwood and engineered floor refinishing service , which involves sanding only surface scratches and re-varnishing the floor with the finish of your choice. Faster and more affordable, this technique restores the appearance of floors that are not heavily damaged. Even prefinished hardwood floors with UV protection can benefit from this refinishing process. For commercial floors, varnish drying is completed immediately using UV curing technology.
