Why Choose Polyurethane Wood Finish?

Polyurethane represents the industry standard for wood floor finishes, offering an unmatched combination of beauty and protection that enhances and safeguards your hardwood investment. Whether you're refinishing worn floors or completing a new installation, polyurethane delivers exceptional benefits:

  • Superior Durability: Polyurethane creates a tough, resilient surface that withstands scratches, dents, and the demands of everyday life. This makes it the perfect choice for high-traffic areas throughout your home or business.
  • Advanced Protection: Serving as an effective barrier, polyurethane shields your hardwood floors from moisture penetration, liquid spills, and stubborn stains. This protective quality is especially valuable in kitchens, dining rooms, and entryways where spills are common.
  • Beautiful Appearance: Polyurethane finish enriches the natural character of your wood, deepening color tones and accentuating distinctive grain patterns. With options ranging from high-gloss elegance to sophisticated satin sheens, you can customize the look to match your design preferences.
  • Simple Maintenance: The smooth, sealed surface created by polyurethane makes floor care effortless. Regular sweeping or vacuuming combined with occasional damp mopping is all it takes to keep your floors looking beautiful for years.

Our Polyurethane Wood Finish Process


At Next Generation Hardwood Floor Refinishing, our meticulous process ensures your hardwood floors receive expert care and attention at every stage:

  1. Evaluation and Consultation: We start with a comprehensive assessment of your hardwood floors' current condition. During our consultation, we discuss your style preferences, desired sheen levels, and address any specific concerns or questions you may have.
  2. Surface Preparation: Proper preparation is critical to a flawless finish. We thoroughly clean and sand the surface to remove imperfections, old finish residue, and create a perfectly smooth foundation for the polyurethane application.
  3. Expert Application: Our experienced craftsmen apply the polyurethane finish evenly across your hardwood surface using professional-grade equipment and techniques. The number of coats applied depends on the polyurethane type selected and your desired sheen level.
  4. Drying and Curing: Each polyurethane coat requires adequate drying and curing time. We carefully monitor this process to ensure a hard, durable protective layer that maximizes the longevity and performance of your hardwood floors.
  5. Final Quality Inspection: Our commitment to excellence includes a thorough final inspection. We verify that the polyurethane finish is flawlessly applied, delivering both stunning visual appeal and long-lasting protection.


Types of Polyurethane Finishes

  • Oil-Based Polyurethane: Renowned for its rich, warm amber tone, oil-based polyurethane delivers a traditional, classic appearance. While it requires longer drying time, it offers exceptional durability and a time-tested finish.
  • Water-Based Polyurethane: This modern formula dries quickly and maintains a crystal-clear appearance that preserves the wood's natural color. With low VOC emissions, it's an environmentally conscious choice that doesn't compromise on protection.
  • High-Gloss Finish: For those who desire dramatic light reflection and a luxurious sheen, high-gloss polyurethane creates a sophisticated, mirror-like appearance that makes a bold design statement.
  • Satin and Matte Finishes: If you prefer a more understated elegance, satin and matte polyurethane finishes provide subtle beauty with less light reflection, creating a contemporary, refined look.

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.
