Hi,
What is the best way to sand parquet flooring (drum sander?) and the
best finishing product to use when sanded on very high traffic areas
? I have done normal floor boards hard/soft wood but never parquet!

Cheers
Chris

Well- going with a drum sander, which the hire company recommends (have
phoned a couple, all say it's ok). I was thinking about the grain,but then
if I work down to a fine sanding sheet,I can't see a problem.Will finish it
of with 3 coats of polyurethane buffing between coats with one of the green
type floor scrubbers on a buffing machine.

Did you call companies which also hire the orbital type?

Drum sanders will sand the floor, but you stand a much greater chance
of screwing it up. I would at least try and find a belt rather than
drum sander (drum sanders are a bit dinosaur, these days - hired out
by generic hire companies rather than floor sanding specialists). The
orbital type (like the Trio) would be much better for your job - but
hey, it's your floor. Good luck.
