Solid Wood: Yes! This is its greatest superpower. You can sand it down and restain it multiple times, meaning a wood floor can literally last a century.
Laminate: No. Once the top wear layer is gone or the board is damaged, it cannot be sanded. You’ll need to replace the individual boards or the whole floor.
