Very helpful
Very helpful. I hired a floor sander to revive a very old parquet floor. The sander works a treat, I purchased more sheets than I thought I would need as they are closed on a Sunday, but as they refund what isn't used I don't mind. It took me a whole weekend to sand the floor 18 x 14ft room but it looks fab. Just make sure when putting the sheets in place you tighten the plate well as the vibration can cause the screws to come loose and then you get a ripped sand sheet, ( for newbies like me )
