Adding Top Coat To Prefinished Flooring

Adding top coat to pre finished flooring like paul i would leave it as is.

Adding top coat to prefinished flooring.

It looks good for a long time. In fact there is no turnaround time. Dampen cloth with water formulated floor cleaner or paint thinner. I was thinking of installing pre finished hard maple diy.

The pre finished urethane coat provides a thicker more uniform coating than can be done manually. If you are using water based polyurethane. On a parquet floor the grain direction doesn t matter. Instead of the multiple day process of sanding staining and then applying three polyurethane top coats to unfinished wood these diy friendly floors can be put down in a single day.

I ve re finished my 1967 hard wood floors twice and have checked out many friends relatives new and re finished hardwood floors over the years and have yet to find a finish as durable as those on most pre finished floors. Someone once told me that i could apply a coat or two of sealer on top of the pre finished floor which will help protect all the spill from getting in between the floor another diy. If yes what kind of sealer do you recommend. The tough uv cured factory applied top coat lasts longer than a typical one applied on site.

Can i really do this. With pre finished flooring there is no mess and smell associated with finishing the floor within your living environment. Always apply finish with the grain direction. Coat the edges of the floor with a brush and then do the center of the floor with a natural lamb s wool applicator.
