A Look at the Best Floor Refinishing Supplies
Hardwood floors bring natural beauty to any room in which they are installed. They also increase the value of your home. If the hardwood flooring in your home has lost its appealing look, refinishing solid and engineered hardwood floors is a great way to restore the appearance and protect them from scratches, stains, and average wear and tear. Over time, even the most well-maintained floors will start to show wear and will need to be refinished using high-quality floor refinishing products and equipment.
When it comes to the best floor refinishing products, professional hardwood refinishers and DIYers turn to Floor Country Canada for the essentials they need to provide their customers with exceptional results. As the largest distributor of floor refinishing products in Manitoba, we are sure to have everything you need, from oil and water-based finishes to application supplies, all from the industry-leading brands you trust.
Offering All Types of Floor Refinishing Products
When it comes to floor refinishing products, there are many types to choose from, each with varying characteristics related to ease of application, durability, and even gloss level—one of the most essential aesthetic considerations depending on the floor type. Some of the most common types of floor finishes include:
- Water-Based Floor Finishes: Water-based sealers and finishes are popular because they are healthier and better for the home environment. In addition to the aesthetics, one of the benefits this finish offers is durability. This smooth floor finish is one of the most popular types of finishes and is used in various applications. Bona Mega One is a popular waterborne wood floor finish that is great for heavy-traffic residential areas, including kitchens, family rooms, entryways, and more. Before applying it is essential to prepare the floor by sanding and cleaning. The finish can be applied directly on sealer or stain, with only two coats required. A third coat can be added to areas with higher traffic, such as commercial. Bona products are top-of-the-line within the refinishing industry and will enhance the appearance of the floor.
- Oil-Based Floor Finishes: Before water-based finishes became popular, oil-based floor finishes were what professional hardwood refinishers mostly used for refinishing jobs. These products also provide a richer, traditional amber look to wood floors. This is a very durable finish, making it great for busy areas, such as hallways, offices, or commercial applications. Other benefits of oil-based finishes are that they are more cost-effective, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean and maintain. They are most commonly used in commercial applications as well as gymnasium floors.
- Impregnating oil Floor Finish: Similar to wax, penetrating oil sealer is appreciated for the way it brings out wood’s grain, beauty, and depth without adding high shine or gloss. It’s a popular choice for its ease of maintenance and cleaning—all you need is water and wood soap for a quick and effective clean! Scratches and marks can easily be sanded and covered with oil for a professional look.
