Fräulein Helen — Introduction to floor sanding
Hello, this girl called me. Elena... Called me last night. He is a student friend of mine, he is going to do floor sanding with his own hands on 150 square meters. Can you imagine She has left her husband and I think she doesn't know where to direct her overflowing energy anymore.
My grandfather's parquet is laid in the house. I danced on this floor as a student and cleaned it the next day. We girls used to get together when there was no electricity and the country was behaving. We had a radio on the elements. We used to wake up white. We enjoyed youth and life.
Now my dear Fräulein Elene is eager to do floor sanding on 150 square meters without a craftsman (I say floor sanding, I think mobhate is a Georgian word, sometimes I use one, sometimes the other).
Well, who else, if not me, it happened to me. He knows that I am in repairs all my life. Repairing, remodeling, changing the place and function of furniture is my weakness. And here I have to tell you: polishing the floor is a new fruit for me, although I can't say no to Elena. I have to help. Will you be involved? Let's find out the details little by little and then think about the floor sanding thesis.
Floor sanding theory
For scientific quality we need theory, at least a little. The first source of information in the modern world is the Internet. It is interesting what Georgian Wikipedia says about the term "mokhenta". We are looking for it and there is no silence. It seems that Georgian Wikiauthors have not yet reached floor sanding.
Floor sanding is: The process of mechanical treatment of the wood surface, during which the damaged, worn upper thin layer of the wood is scraped and polished, in order to further smooth or lubricate the wood surface.

Is it delicious Now let's follow the floor sanding story in sequence.
Can all parquet be floor sanded?
No. During floor sanding, the parquet becomes thinner, so it cannot be sanded endlessly. If we want to polish the parquet, it must have the resources for it - that is, enough working thickness From the groove of the parquet (the so-called "ship") to its surface.
- Floor sanding as a result of parquet on average 0.5 mm to 1 mm becomes thinner. Therefore, if we want the parquet to serve us for a long time, we should not do floor sanding immediately. For example Massive oak parquet It withstands 5-7 polishing, and engineered parquet - on average 2-4 times.
- The second reason why parquet floor sanding cannot be done is when the parquet has fallen out, is rotten, or is decaying. In this case, the floor must first be strengthened or the damaged planks replaced.
Fräulein Helen's parquet is still in shape in this regard - floor sanding is possible.
Floor sanding with your own hands?
Nothing is impossible, but I'll tell you: I don't understand why you would want to do floor sanding yourself at home, especially as a woman. The only excuse is probably that you don't have enough money for a handyman, and at the same time, the broken floor is really annoying. Fräulein really has money, but if she wants something, I can't deny it.
The main principle is: the floor should be well scrubbed — sandpaper. Shurka in Georgian sandpaper is called It should be taken into account that the floor should be sandpapered evenly so that after applying varnish or oil, the wood has a uniform, ideal look.
What tools are used and how many types of floor sanding are there?
Floor sanding is done with special floor sanding equipment. Russian and German machines are actively used in Georgia:
- Russian floor sanding It is called floor treatment with 1 machine — either with a Soviet Russian machine or a German Hummel.
- German floor sanding The complete process, which ends with a German three-disc unit, is called — Trio.
1. Russian floor sanding with Russian equipment
The Russian machine works with a tape system and is designed for black, rough work. A single continuous tape is not installed in it, and therefore the adhesion places leave traces. If the floor sanding craftsman is not experienced, the Russian machine can leave waves and grooves on the parquet. The surface treated with this machine is not ideal.
2. Russian floor sanding with a German machine (Lägler Hummel)
The German device works on the tape principle similar to the Russian device Hummel. However, unlike Russian, it is mounted with a single, seamless tape sandpaper, so it does not have adhesion lines.
If you're going for the economical option, it's best to find a handyman to do the job with a German Hummel. Sandpaper costs 1-2 GEL more, but as a result you will get an incomparably straight and clean surface.
3. Premium German floor sanding (Lägler Trio)
The finish is crucial during German floor sanding with Trio. It is a three-disc planetary machine that polishes the wood fibers to the smallest level. After Trio, there are no circular marks or microdefects left on the floor. Depending on the condition of the floor, the craftsman may even use only a trio.
How are the corners and under the battery? (Lägler Flip)
It is problematic to sand in hard-to-reach places - at the edges of walls, in corners and under central heating batteries. Some craftsmen work these places with an angle grinder ("balgark"), which makes the room terribly dusty and leaves cut depressions on the floor.
Professional craftsmen use special German equipment — to Flip, which has a vacuum cleaner and a special long nose for working under batteries.

🇬🇪 floor sanding in the regions: Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Mestia, Zugdidi and Poti
We are often asked: "Does the floor sanding craftsman come out of Tbilisi?" — Yes, our group goes through regional orders too! There is a serious shortage of qualified craftsmen working with German dust-free equipment (Hummel, Trio) in the regions, so we regularly complete projects in different parts of Georgia:
Departures to Rustavi, Mtskheta, Saguramo and Kojor-Tskneti are carried out with standard Tbilisi tariffs and minimum transport costs.
There is high humidity in the coastal zone. Here, together with floor sanding, it is crucial to choose a quality waterproof German varnish or Hardwax-Oil.
In the cities of Western Georgia, we often process both the old oak floors of private houses and the engineering parquet of newly built apartments.
In high mountain resorts, a complete restoration of wooden cottages, family hotels and restaurants with massive plank floors is in demand.
❓ Does the room get dusty during floor sanding?
If the floor sanding equipment is modern and technically sound, the dust is collected in a special multilayer bag and the process without dust in progress Walls, ceilings and furniture remain clean!
Polishing of painted floors ("krascian poly")
Floor sanding of a floor painted with thick oil paint is a much more time-consuming process — the paint dries up, the sandpaper sticks, and the cost increases. Many craftsmen refuse such flooring altogether, and those who do work at a different rate.
In such a case, it is ideal to use Hummel's coarse (for example, 12 or 16 number) special sandpaper, which removes the paint quickly without damaging the wood.
Grooves appeared on the floor - what to do?
During floor sanding, the dirt accumulated between the parquet planks over the years is cleaned and the cracks become more visible. These grooves must be filled with a special wood putty.
How is professional putty made?
The best wood putty is made on site: clean, pure wood dust generated during floor sanding is mixed with a special binding liquid. The resulting powdery mass exactly replicates the natural color of your parquet.
⚠️ Important tip: The putty should be spread over the entire floor evenly, and not in spots, so that the floor does not get stained after tiling.

Back to our story...
Elena said: "let's rent floor sanding equipment". She looked for videos on the Internet and thought she was already the queen of floor sanding. What other way did we have, we started calling. It turned out that the devices are rented only to experienced craftsmen and that too to acquaintances. I was a little happy - I hope my friend will change his mind.
The second option was to do it with small hand machines, but doing it on 150 square meters was too much for Helen too.
Finally we survived — we called a floor sanding craftsman. He met us politely, he came with German machines. Told us: "I will do floor sanding for you, you just choose varnish or oil".
