Choosing the Right Hardwood Finish for Your Floors

Hardwood flooring in a home is beautiful in any room.  But it is important to remember that all finishes aren’t created equal.  Here are some types of finishes for wood floors:

  1. Water-Based Urethane – has a mild odor and dries in 2-3 hours.  The finish is clear and non-yellowing.
  2. Conversion Varnish – strong in odor and not for the do-it-yourselfer.  The finish will be slightly amber in color.
  3. Oil-Modified Urethane – slight odor and dries to an amber finish.
  4. Moisture-Cured Urethane – strong in odor and best done by a professional.  Available in satin or gloss and is non-yellowing or amber.

Choose the right finish for your home so your wood floors will ending up looking just like you want them to, beautiful!
