Hardwood floors are not furniture. Natural flaws, waves, small bubbles, and small dust particles are not uncommon.
Q. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY FINISH TO DRY?
A. Finish dry times vary widely depending on type of finish used, temperature, humidity and airflow in the house. After the last coat of finish IS applied, it typically takes from 24 to 28 hours 10 dry (it can take longer in extreme conditions). Keep in mind that when the finish is totally dry (typically 48 to 72 hours) furniture can be moved onto the floor (Be sure to use pads on the bottom of all furniture legs.), and manufacturers may recommend waiting even longer before placing area rugs.
Q. HOW MANY COATS OF FINISH DO I NEED?
A. Most floors should be finished with three coats- recommendations vary according to manufacturers and type of finish. Some minor touch-ups may be necessary, such as bare spots, drips or puddles.
Q. WILL THE FINISHES HOLD UP TO THE WEAR IN THE KITCHEN?
A. Wood floors work well in the kitchen; the only finish that should not be used is a wax finish, which turns white on contact with water. Wax also should not be used in other areas likely to get wet, such as entryways. Other finishes can be used; however, you need to wipe up spills as soon as they occur to prevent moisture damage to the wood .
Q. Will THE COLOR OF THE FINISH CHANGE?
A. Finishes darken to a certain degree over time. Some non-ambering water-based finishes will darken somewhat.
Q. HOW LONG WILL MY FINISH LAST?
A. The long-term durability of your finish is largely dependent on the type of wear and maintenance the floor receives. Proper cleaning and maintenance can add years to the life of a finish. A typical residential floor that is well maintained will last for about five to seven years before it needs to be screened and recoated.
