Thin engineered floor like this one is not meant to be refinished. Very high risk to sand through the hardwood layer and expose plywood, then the floor will need to be replaced. We mostly sanded everything with a floor edger to be more delicate. With lots of deep damages, we didn't expect everything to come out and it didn't. But the end result exceeded the client's expectations. It looks more natural, with a character, and we did it without messy demolition.

Sanding pre-finished floor is not easy, but sanding pre-finished floor that doesn't have much of a wear layer is the whole different level
During
Sanded nice and flat, without burning through veneer
