Prefinished boards are ready to use straight from the box. However, bare wood requires sanding, optional staining, and application of top coats before furniture can be placed. Here’s a breakdown of finishes you should consider
Oil-based polyurethane: Traditionally known for its exceptional durability, it adds a warm amber tone to the wood. Allow 24 hours between coats and ensure a three-day curing period.
Water-based polyurethane: Initially appears milky but rapidly transforms into a crystal-clear finish. It allows for the application of two coats in a single day and boasts virtually no odor. Allow a three-day curing time.
Stain: Utilizes penetrating pigments to enrich the wood’s color and accentuate its natural grain. Apply prior to the protective finishing coats for optimal results.
Choosing the right finish for your floors is a big decision. At Brooks Hardwood Floors, we recommend water-based finishes for their superior safety, durability, and lasting beauty.
Safe for Your Family: Featuring remarkably low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), water-based finishes ensure there are no noxious fumes or odors. Enjoy your newly finished floors without any concerns about air quality.
Long Lasting Beauty: Water-based finishes create captivating low-sheen finishes, perfectly suited for modern and contemporary design preferences.
Perfect For Any Style: In contrast to oil-based finishes that tend to yellow with age, water-based finishes maintain their crystal-clear appearance throughout their lifespan.
Duration Protection: Dispelling the myth of oil-based finishes being inherently tougher, water-based finishes provide exceptional protection and can be recoated multiple times, offering long-term savings on refinishing costs.
Skip the Strong Smells and Yellowing Floors: Oil-based finishes come with a hefty downside. The strong fumes make your home unavailable during application, and the finish itself yellows over time, dramatically altering the look of your floors. They’re also softer and more prone to scratches from pets.
