During our house renovation, I asked our renovator, "Can engineered hardwood floors be refinished?" He mentioned that it can be done depending on the thickness of the top wood layer. If the top veneer is at least 2 mm thick, it can easily handle sanding and refinishing. But if the veneer thickness is thin, you better get it checked and consult with a renovator about whether refinishing should be done or not.

Can You Refinish Engineered Hardwood Floors?

Yes, engineered floors can be refinished if their veneer is thick and has not been refinished too many times. If the veneer is thin, it won't be able to withstand sanding; hence, refinishing in such a case will be impossible. 

Here is a brief on how can engineered wood floors be refinished

  • Clean the floor thoroughly to remove dirt and dust completely 

  • Use fine-grit sandpaper to gently remove the old finish but do not sand too much, as the veneer layer is thinner than solid wood.

  • Choose a stain or sealant that matches your style, apply it evenly and let it dry completely to protect and restore the floor.

The process might seem easy but it is not. Sanding is an important step here. You cannot sand too much or too little. It's the task of an expert so you better hire a professional and consult on how to refinish your engineered hardwood floor.
