The basic finish options we offer are:
- Oil-modified urethane -This is generally the most common
surface finish, and is easy to apply. It is a solvent-base
polyurethane that dries in about eight hours.
Synteko
- Swedish finish is an acid-based urethane - It is a clear and fast
drying finish. It is durable and non-yellowing. These finishes
have extremely strong fumes and should only be applied by the
highly skilled wood flooring professional.
Glitsa
- Water-based urethane is a 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 urethanes are
generally more expensive, and usually require at least 3 coats.
Lowest VOC content.
