Wood flooring The slip resistance of natural wood floors may vary, generally there is more slip resistance if walking across the grain than along the grain.Natural wood floors are often sealed or polished; this will alter the surface roughness and slip resistance of the floor, generally making them more slippery when wet or contaminated. Care and thought must be given to the slip resistance of outdoor wood surfaces, such as decking that is open to the elements.

The direction of sanding will depend on the floor's condition. If it is fairly flat, it may be possible simply to use the sander up and down the boards' grain. If the floor is uneven, or has a very thick coating of paint or varnish, start across the grain.

Sanding at a right angle to boards may damage them, so sand at 45 degrees. Cross the room in one direction, then the other before finishing along the grain. Reduce the coarseness of the sandpaper as you progress, finishing with the finest grade.
