Wood Floor Finishes

Your wooden floors are not impenetrable; they can crack, flake off and start peeling and blistering. Finishes act as wood floor sealers; they are usually applied in a liquid form and harden over time to form a rock-hard exterior. These finishes will then protect the surface of your wooden floor and help them last longer. Not to forget, you get to enjoy a much more appealing and beautiful wood floor.

Your floor finish can easily last five to ten years, depending on the product quality, how busy your household gets, and how you deal with maintenance. After that, your wooden floors need refinishing. Silver Lining Floor Care is the expert when it comes to wood floor finishes and refinishing. We use only durable, high-quality finishes to boost the lifespan of your wooden floors, giving them a finish like none other!

There are two types of wood floor finishes you can choose from – oil or lacquer (varnish). Choosing the right finish is extremely important; each finish comes with its benefits, so it is entirely up to you.

• Oil: Oil wood floor finish usually penetrates the wood deeper, but it gives a thinner coat than varnish. Moreover, an oil finish will give your floor a matte appearance that is more natural. While you don’t need to refinish your floor as often, you may need to re-oil them.
• Varnish or Lacquer: Varnish wood floor finish does not penetrate the wood; instead, it forms a layer on top of the wood floor. This is better suited to floors that might suffer from spillage and water. They also fill in the pores in your wood, so they don’t collect dust. Moreover, they give a more glossy appearance. The only drawback is they tend to flake over time and may need refinishing after a few years.
