What Type Of Refinishing Do I need?

There are two versions of refinishing products for hardwood floors oil based and water based compounds. There are several differences between oil and water based refinishing coatings: drying time, odor, price, and color - not durability. Most on-site finished hardwood has and oil based finish. Prefinished wood can be water or oil based. If you have site finished wood in your home, it is probably oil based. Switching to a water based compound from an oil based one will dramatically change the look of your refinished hardwood. Below you will find several FAQ's about the different types of hardwood refinishing compounds.

Oil Modified Polyurethane (OMU)

• Is a solvent based polyurethane, contains mineral spirit.
• Much higher in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
• Ambers (yellow, brownish-orange tones) over time.
• Odor (can linger for several days or even weeks).
• Oil allows for richer darker tones by soaking deep into the wood
• The natural oils in the sealer allow for a dull shine
• Only option for dark stains.
• Minimum drying time is 8 hours and can last up to 24 hours or more based on humidity and other environmental factors.
• Curing— allow finish to cure for 24 hours from final coat before foot traffic and 30 days before placing area rugs. The floor may be walked on (light foot traffic only!) and after about 12 hours after second coat, but remains susceptible to scuffing and marring until completely cured. Use only a dry microfiber mop or cloth for cleaning during the first week or two—no liquid cleaners!

Water Based/Water Borne Polyurethane

• Faster drying times allows for more coats to be applied daily.
• Fast drying time means foot traffic can resume only hours after the coat is applied.
• Cost is more expensive (additional charge to use).
• Curing-70% cured after 1 day, 90% cured after 3 days, fully cured in approximately 7 days so area rugs can be placed down after 7 days. Do not replace area rugs until floor is fully cured. The floor may be walked on and furniture replaced after 24 hours, but remains susceptible to scuffing and marring until completely cured. Slight fumes/odors. The day after the final coat most people smell nothing. Use only a dry microfiber mop or cloth for cleaning during the first week or two—no liquid cleaners!
• VOC compliant.
• Best for natural and light to medium stains, not dark stains.
• Because it sets up so fast, there is little penetration into the wood.
• Feels/looks more “plastic”; tends to have greater reflection and shine.
