4. Floor sanding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_sanding

   The areas which cannot be reached by the large sanders are sanded by an edger, at the same grit paper as the rest of the floor. If filling of holes or boards is desired this is the stage where this is usually done. 80 grit papers are usually used for the second cut [citation needed]. The belt sander is used inline with the grain of the timber ...

5. Cement tile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_tile

   Cement tiles are not fired; there is no glaze layer on the surface of the tile. They derive their durability from the combination of finely dehydrated ground Portland cement layer and a coarser layer of sand and cement. The pigment layer is hydraulically pressed into the surface and becomes a part of the tile.

It is difficult to install as it absorbs water from the thin-set mortar, grout, grease pencils, etc. Once placed, it stains and scuffs easily if not properly sealed and maintained with a quality sealant.
