Hardwood Floor Refinishing | Hardwood Floor Installation

As a general rule of thumb, if there is a loss of sheen to the finish it is time for a recoat. There are two basic recoat methods: a screen and recoat and a chemical etching and recoat system. A screen and recoat involves lightly abrading the top surface of the finish with a screen or a pad and abrasive strip, then applying another finish coat. In a chemical etching and recoat system, such as the Tykote system, the existing surface is cleaned and chemically etched, then recoated. No sanding or screening is performed.

Recoating Guidelines:

The application of additional finish coats may need to be done every 3 to 5 years, depending on how heavily you live on your wood floor. See preventive maintenance for proper care instructions.

NOTE: If the floor has visible dents, scratches, wear patterns or cupping, recoating is not a viable solution, and it will be necessary to fully sand the floor to restore the finish.
