Surface Finishes

Lasting beauty requires minimal care with today's wood floor finishes. These finishes are usually urethanes and remain on the surface
of the wood and form a protective coating. Surface finishes are popular today because they are durable, water-resistant and require
minimal maintenance. Various gloss levels are available.

Types of Surface Finishes

Oil-modified urethane is easy to apply. It is a solvent-base polyurethane that dries in about eight hours. This type of finish ambers.

Moisture-cured urethane is solvent-base polyurethane that is more durable and more moisture resistant than other surface finishes.
Moisture-cure urethane comes in non-yellowing and in ambering types and is generally available in satin or gloss. These finishes are
extremely difficult to apply, have a strong odor and are best left to the professional.

Water-based urethane finishes are clear and non-yellowing. They have a milder odor and dry in about two to three hours.
