Hardwood Floor Polishing in Dubai
If a wooden floor looks dull and scuffed but the finish has not worn through to bare wood, it does not need a full sand. We deep clean, buff and apply a fresh coat of lacquer or oil, bringing back the sheen in a day with far less dust and cost.

Process
How We Polish Hardwood Floors
- Step 1
Deep Clean
Dirt and old polish build-up are removed.
- Step 2
Buff
A buffer with an abrasive pad keys the old finish.
- Step 3
Vacuum and Tack
All dust is removed so the new coat stays clear.
- Step 4
Recoat
A fresh coat of lacquer or oil restores the sheen.
Regular Polishing Saves Sanding
A recoat every two or three years keeps the protective layer intact, so the wood itself never wears. That means you may never need a full sanding.
Supermarket polishes and wax build up into a sticky film. We strip that before recoating, because new lacquer will not bond over it.
For worn floors, see floor sanding and refinishing. For scratches, see scratch and dent removal, and for parquet, parquet polishing.
Every 2 to 3 Years
Regular recoats protect the wood itself.
Avoid Wax
Household wax blocks new lacquer from bonding.

Hardwood Floor Polishing: FAQs
How Long Does Flooring Installation Take?
A typical apartment bedroom is fitted in a day. A full two-bedroom apartment usually takes two to three days, plus drying time if the floor needs levelling first.
How Much Does Flooring Installation Cost in Dubai?
Laminate and SPC vinyl installation starts from AED 25 per square metre for labour, and from about AED 70 per square metre supplied and fitted. Levelling and skirting are quoted separately when needed. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Do You Cover All Areas of Dubai?
Yes. We work across Dubai, from Dubai Marina, JLT and Palm Jumeirah to Al Barsha, Mirdif, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills and Silicon Oasis.
How Flat Does a Floor Need to Be for New Flooring?
Most click flooring needs no more than about 3 mm of variation over 2 metres. More than that and boards flex, click joints break and floors sound hollow, so we level first.
