You often read that 14mm wooden floors are preferable to 7mm because they can be sanded. Okay, I buy that right away, but when it's time to sand the floor, say in 15-20 years.
To sand the floor, all furniture has to be removed, and I suspect you have to account for some sanding dust as well? I have no idea what it costs to sand wooden floors per sqm, but I assume you have to hire someone for this to get it perfect (can you do it perfectly yourself, sure, but for the average person)??
And if you have all the furniture out, you might as well lay a new 7mm floor instead, it shouldn't cost much more per sqm to lay a new 7mm floor instead of getting it sanded, right?
So my question:
Does it pay to lay a 14mm floor and sand it once compared to laying a 7mm and replacing it with a 7mm??

It's hard to say what prices will be like in 15-20 years, but you can look at what it costs today. The times I have sanded floors, it has cost 500-1000 SEK in machine rental, sandpaper, and varnish. I would guess that a professional charges around 2000 SEK to sand a floor of about 20 m[sup]2[/sup]. That price should be compared to the price of a new floor, which might cost 4000 SEK. Then you shouldn't forget that it's a bit of a hassle to tear up an old floor and moldings, drive to the dump, pick up the new floor, lay the new floor, and put up moldings.
My experience with floor sanding machines is that they produce very little dust.

There is quite a difference in the sense of massiveness between those options as well.

Price of 200 SEK/sqm is reasonably calculated
Thanks.

Mass density feeling is it better? A feeling is abstract, what if you don't like the massive feeling then?

Of course, you're right about the feeling there, I was a bit hasty and based it on certain personal impressions, even though I believe most people prefer a massive, solid feeling over a thin, clattery one
have been given the price of 140kr/m2 for oak parquet: sanding and 3 x lacquer. The lacquer is probably worse than what you get on new factory-lacquered planks, I think. I would choose to switch to new 7mm instead of sanding but for us, it is not applicable (old, thick oak floor)
