THE WAY IT FEELS

There may be more life in your floor.

Refinishing starts with understanding what is already there. The right approach depends on the floor, the existing finish and the result you want to achieve.

A good starting point for

Existing wood floors with a suitable wear layer and condition for refinishing.

Things to consider

Not every wood floor can be sanded. An assessment of thickness, previous sanding, damage and overall condition comes first. Final color depends on the wood itself.

WHY SANDING AND REFINISHING

Why homeowners
choose refinishing.

01

Keep the floor you have

Refinishing works with your existing wood, so you keep the character of the original floor.

02

Often less than replacing

Refinishing is usually less costly than tearing out and replacing a floor, and there is far less waste.

03

A new color, if you want it

Going lighter, darker or more natural? Sanding back to bare wood lets you choose a new stain or a clear finish.

04

Lighter refresh options

If the wear is only in the finish, a screen and recoat can refresh the shine without a full sand.

BEST ROOMS

Where it
works best.

  • Solid hardwood floors anywhere in the home
  • Engineered floors with a thick enough top wood layer
  • Older homes with original wood under carpet
  • Floors with surface scratches, dull spots or worn finish

CARE BASICS

Keep it
looking its best.

  • Let the finish fully cure before putting rugs back
  • Use felt pads under furniture
  • Clean with a product made for finished wood floors
  • Plan a recoat when the finish starts to look dull in busy areas
