What Type Of Refinishing Do I need?

The two main types of hardwood flooring refinishing compounds are oil based and water based. 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. Be aware that if you change to water based, it will look different. Listed below is are several FAQ's about oil and water based hardwood refinishing compounds.

Oil Modified Polyurethane (OMU)

  • Is a solvent based polyurethane, contains mineral spirit.
  • Much higher in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
  • Over time the color can change, darkening or becoming more orange
  • Odor can last for several days or even weeks.
  • Deep saturation of the oil allows for darker and richer tones
  • Presence. The natural oils in the sealer also give the wood a muted shine.
  • Oil saturates the wood and works the best with only darker stains.
  • Drying time can be anywhere from 8 to 24 hours depending on humidity and other 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 time means less time spent waiting for the job to be finished.
  • Fast drying time means foot traffic can resume only hours after the coat is applied.
  • Cost is more expensive (additional charge to use).
  • 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. 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.
