5.2 Install strip flooring as recommended by flooring manufacturer and to match that of existing construction. Existing wall base shall be removed and reinstalled after refinishing floor.

5.3 Sanding: Floors shall be sanded after all trades are finished. Wood floors shall be sanded with a power-driven sander. For the first cut, the floor shall be traversed in both directions, going with the grain of the flooring using no. 2 ½ (30-grade) sandpaper.

Follow with 1 ½ (40-grade) paper, then with No. ½ (60-grade), finishing with 2/0 (100-grade). All cuts should be made with the grain and rough or finish sanding on the diagonal will not be permitted. Particular attention should be given on each finishing cut to completely remove the coarser grit marks from the proceeding cut. Sanding machine shall not be moved more than two boards at a time for each traverse on any of the four cuts. After sanding, a better overall floor appearance is achieved by screen disk abrading the floor with a rotary buffing machine. On the last cut, use a floor buffer fitted with fine sandpaper or fine screen disk, (typically 100-120 grit), and sand the entire floor to blend circular cuts of the disc sander with the drum type sander cuts. After sanding the contractor shall thoroughly vacuum floor with heavy-duty commercial type vacuum and request inspection before any finishing work is started.
