Category: Refinish Hardwood Floor

I'm adding some new red oak flooring and refinishing the original red oak flooring that was sealed with oil based poly. We have dogs and need a tough, non toxic floor finish to replace the toxic oil polyurethane.

Hi,

I'm adding some new red oak flooring and refinishing the original red oak flooring that was originally sealed with oil based poly. I am using the same contractor that installed the original floor. Once the new floor is laid and the original floor is sanded we want to stain both a darker shade than the original natural red oak finish.

I have large dogs and need a durable finish. Soooo, which stain/finish would you recommend, what kind of finish longevity can I expect, and what sheens are available? Additionally, I am concerned with VOCs, toxins and long-term VOC/toxin exposure in our home environment.

We we want spruce up parquet floor to sell our condo. It was finished 6 years ago with NanoTech and it still looks good? We have NanoTech left over from 2012. Can we use that?

Hi,

We have a parquet floor in my condo. We are moving and I want to spruce it up to sell. We used NanoTech 6 years ago. We didn't sand the floor. It went right over top of the existing oil based finish. It has worked great. Can we recoat again? Can we use the leftover NanoTech?

Thanks,
