DUST CONTROL

Modern floor sanding with minimal disruption.

One of the most common questions we're asked is:

"How dusty is floor sanding?"

Many people remember traditional floor sanding as a messy process that left dust throughout the home. Fortunately, professional floor restoration has moved on considerably.

At Touché Flooring, we use modern sanding equipment with advanced dust extraction systems that capture the vast majority of dust as it's produced, helping to keep your home cleaner throughout the restoration process.

Virtually dust-free sanding

Our professional sanding machines are fitted with powerful integrated dust extraction systems designed to collect fine dust directly at the source.

This significantly reduces airborne dust compared with older sanding methods, making the restoration process cleaner, more efficient and far less disruptive.

While no sanding process can ever be completely dust-free, modern equipment allows us to minimise dust to a level that most homeowners find surprisingly clean.

Protecting your home

Looking after your property is just as important as restoring your floor.

Before work begins, we take care to prepare the area and work methodically throughout the project. We always aim to keep disruption to a minimum while treating your home with the same level of care and respect we would our own.

Our clean working practices are an important part of every restoration we carry out.

Why some dust is unavoidable

Wood is a natural material, and sanding removes tiny particles from its surface.

Although modern extraction systems capture the overwhelming majority of this dust, a very small amount may still settle within the room or surrounding areas.

Being honest about this is important. We never claim that floor sanding is completely dust-free, but compared with traditional sanding methods, the difference is remarkable.

A cleaner restoration process

Using professional dust extraction offers several advantages:

Significantly less airborne dust
A cleaner working environment
Reduced cleaning after the project
Improved visibility while sanding
Better preparation for applying finishes
Less disruption to everyday life

It's one of the reasons modern wood floor restoration is a far more enjoyable experience than many people expect.
