Once you have finished laying your parquet floor blocks or hardwood floor start by using a few grit sand paper and work diagonally across the floor always with the grain of the floor. If you are sanding an old floor then use a lower grit of 36 to take off the old lacquer you can go all ways over the floor when taking off old lacquer but always finish by going with the grain diagonally across the floor. Once you have finished going over the floor once with a few grit sanding belt go round the edges with the edger in 50 grit sanding disk. Visit this page http://www.lesplanchersxilo.com/fr/ and see how you can sand your hardwood floor the right way.
Go all over the floor with a few grit on the big belt sander then repeat once over with some grit always diagonally across the floor switching witch diagonal to take each time.so once one way then up a grit and go diagonally the other. Once you have the whole hardwood floor up to some grit then fill. Mix up resin filler with the sanding dust out of the edger it is a finer dust. Then with a filling knife fill the whole floor making sure you push the filler down the cracks "the more the merrier". Preferable leave to dry over night or three to four hours. Finish the floor with a final sand of few grit making sure all filler is removed and sanding with the grain diagonally. Clean the floor when finished with a hover, clean all skirtings and window ledges making sure all dust is up leave about half an hour for dust to settle then tack the whole floor with tack cloth or wet cloth.
Now ready for finishing, I recommend a water base lacquer like bona mega or similar or for high traffic areas bona traffic or similar. Start by applying lacquer to the edges with a brush then on to rolling out the lacquer with a roller on a pole, use a short mole haired roller and spread the laquer consistently. Don't leave any big puddles of lacquer as this will show and take longer to dry. Cover the whole floor and leave to dry for about two hours then repeat and cover floor again using same process and leave over night. In the morning the laquer should be dry and ready for a light sand preferably with a screen machine or a fine sand by hand few grit or higher. Hover clean and wipe with tack cloth or wet cloth.
