Why Polyurethane Wood Finish?

Polyurethane is the gold standard when it comes to wood finishes, offering a blend of beauty and durability that enhances and safeguards your hardwood floors. Whether you're considering resurfacing hardwood floors or aiming for a complete hardwood floor refinishing, polyurethane is an excellent choice for several reasons:

  • Exceptional Durability: Polyurethane forms a durable and hard surface that resists scratches, dents and daily wear. This makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas in your home or office.
  • Protective Barrier: Acting as a shield, polyurethane protects your hardwood floors from moisture, spills and stains. This is particularly advantageous in areas prone to spills, such as kitchens and dining rooms.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: A Polyurethane coating enhances the natural beauty of your wood, deepening its color and highlighting the grain patterns. Whether you prefer a high gloss or a more subtle sheen, polyurethane provides customizable options.
  • Ease of Maintenance: The smooth, sealed surface created by a polyurethane wood finish simplifies cleaning. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional damp mopping, keeps your floors looking pristine.


Our Polyurethane Wood Finish Process...

At JGordon Wood Floor Refinishing, our thorough process ensures that your hardwood floors receive the care and attention they deserve:

  1. Evaluation and Consultation: We begin by assessing the current condition of your hardwood floors. During the consultation, we discuss your preferences, sheen levels and any specific concerns you may have.
  2. Surface Preparation: Before applying the polyurethane finish, we ensure the surface is clean and smooth. This may involve floor sanding to remove imperfections and create an even and smooth surface for the finish.
  3. Application: Our skilled craftsmen apply the polyurethane clear coat finish evenly across the hardwood surface. The number of coats depends on factors such as the type of polyurethane and the desired level of sheen.
  4. Drying and Curing: Each coat of polyurethane requires a specific drying time. We allow ample time for the finish to cure, ensuring a tough protective layer that enhances the longevity of your hardwood floors.
  5. Final Inspection: Our commitment to quality extends to a final inspection. We make sure that the polyurethane coating is flawlessly applied, providing your floors with both aesthetic appeal and protection.


Types of Polyurethane Finishes...

  • Oil-Based Polyurethane: Known for its rich, amber hue, oil-based polyurethane provides a warm, traditional look. This type of polyurethane requires a longer drying time but offers excellent durability.
  • Water-Based Polyurethane: This type of polyurethane dries faster and has a clearer appearance which maintains the natural color of the wood. It is also low in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it an environmentally friendly choice.
  • High Gloss Polyurethane: If you desire a glossy finish that reflects light beautifully, high gloss polyurethane is an excellent choice. It adds a sophisticated touch to your hardwood floors.
  • Matte Finish Polyurethane: If you're looking for a finish that is a bit more subdued, then choosing this type of finish will give you the look that you want.

FAQ's

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How often should I consider refinishing my wood floors with a polyurethane finish?

    The frequency of refinishing depends on factors such as wear and tear, foot traffic and the type of polyurethane used. On average, wood floors with a polyurethane finish may need refinishing every 7-10 years, but this can vary based on individual circumstances.


  • Can I change the sheen level of my wood floors with a polyurethane finish?

    Yes, polyurethane finishes come in various sheen levels, including high gloss, semi-gloss, and satin or matte.  You can choose the sheen level that best complements your aesthetic preferences. If you want to change the sheen during a refinishing process, it's possible to do so by selecting a different type of polyurethane.


  • What is the difference between oil-based and water-based polyurethane for wood floor refinishing?

    Oil-based polyurethane tends to have a warmer, amber color and a longer drying time. Water-based polyurethane dries faster and has a clearer appearance, maintaining the natural color of the wood. Both options provide durable finishes, and the choice depends on factors like desired color, drying time, air temperature and weather conditions.


  • How long does it take for the polyurethane finish to dry and cure after wood floor refinishing?

    The drying and curing times depend on the type of polyurethane used. Generally, each coat may take a few hours to dry, but it's recommended to wait at least 24 hours between coats. Curing, which is the process of the finish hardening, can take several days to a couple of weeks. It's advisable to avoid heavy furniture and excessive foot traffic during this period.


  • Can I stay in my home during the wood floor refinishing with a polyurethane finish?

    While staying in your home during the refinishing process is possible, it's recommended to plan for alternative accommodations, especially during the application and drying stages. The strong odor during the application of the polyurethane may be bothersome, and allowing the finish to dry without foot traffic ensures a smooth and flawless result.
