In the previous blog post, we talked about three popular types of wood flooring finishes — matte finish, reactive stain and smoke and fumed — all of which we carry here at Arimar through our partners at Floor Art. You can take a look at some of the stunning Floor Art wide plank collection flooring here. If there is a floor that you like, you can always request a sample and even see how it would look in your home or space by using the Room Planner.
Bona Finish Hardwood Flooring
The super matte sheen of the Bona finish creates an attractive, sleek oiled wood effect.
This surface finish, which was originally created for the hospitality industry, is flexible and made to resist flexibility cracks and chips. This makes it ideal for high usage areas. The finish also contains an anti-slip agent and is longer lasting than harder and thicker polyurethanes.
Coating Wood Floors
Wood flooring can also be coated using a UV urethane or a UV oil. UV Urethane refers to a specially formulated coating process Floor Art uses to provide a long-lasting resilient finish on our hardwood floors. The coating is high in scratch resistance and is specifically designed for optimum durability. Over time, as natural wear and tear from foot traffic cause any scuffs, these floors can be easily revitalized with a wood polish. UV Oil is a type of coating process that uses natural oils that are hardened under a UV light. This allows for improved scratch resistance. Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your floors looking like new.
Staining & Polos Hardwood Floors
Staining is the traditional method of enhancing the surface color of the wood to create depth and tone. Polos describes a technique of using color neutralizer formulas on individual planks. This not only enhances the natural color of the wood but also creates that beautiful, distinct natural, raw wood look many home owners like.
