| Types
of Wood Flooring Finishes: |
A) Oil-modified urethane is generally the most common
surface finish and is easy to apply. It is solvent-based
polyurethane that dries in about 8 hours. This type
of finish ambers with age.
B) Water-based urethane is waterborne urethane that
dries by water evaporation. These finishes are clear
and non-yellowing. They have a milder odor than oil-modified
finishes have and they dry in about two to three hours.
Water-based urethane is generally more expensive.
C) Moisture-cure urethane is solvent-based polyurethane
that is more durable and more moisture resistant than
other surface finishes. Moisture-cure urethane comes
in non-yellowing and in ambering types and is generally
available in satin and gloss. These finishes are extremely
difficult to apply, have a strong odor and are best
left to the professional.
