Can engineered wood flooring be sanded and refinished?

 Yes, engineered wood flooring can be sanded and refinished, but it depends on the thickness of the top hardwood layer.

High-quality engineered wood floors with a thicker wear layer (usually 3mm or more) can be sanded 1-3 times over their lifetime. This allows you to restore the floor's appearance by removing surface scratches or marks. However, thinner wear layers might only allow light sanding or none at all. It’s important to check the manufacturer’s guidelines before refinishing to avoid damaging the floor.
