Hello, we had solid wood parquet flooring installed. We were told it was laid, then sealed, then sanded, and afterwards oiled. Since there were some scratches, the floor was repaired. However, now the floor is heavily scratched, and you can clearly see where the sanding machine passed over, using a round sanding disc (is that the correct term?). When we pointed this out, we were told that this is normal. Are we overreacting, or is this actually normal?

You quickly end up creating a wave-like surface that would make the Baltic Sea at wind force 4 jealous.

In cars, these are called swirls, wash lane scratches, etc. When the paint is polished, these are removed using a random orbital sander. It seems that a rotary sander was used in your case. Like I said, I’m not an expert, but I wouldn’t be satisfied.
