I am refinishing my hardwood floors. After sanding them I really like the natural color of my red oak floors. How do I finish them, but yet keep the exact natural color of the floors. A polyurethane finish (oil or water based) will give the wood a golden "honey" color. Is there any other product available, without staining, that will keep buy pain pills online without prescription the exact natural color of the floors?
All you can do is test some hidden spot of the floor and see how it turns out. All woods will urethane different . All depends on those trees were grown at the time.But what you describe you want is the natural finish ( w/ a urethane) . GL
I don’t think the poly would give it a Honey look if you didn’t stain it.
But don’t trust me. Ask you local hardware store about that. And don’t trust them if they don’t sound like they are old hands at it.
That’s what I would do.
Wow, you sanded the floor completely? That had to be a lot of work.
Penetrating seals are probably the most common finish on residential floors. Sealers are usually thinned varnishes which, when applied to wood, will penetrate into the wood pores on the surface. The result is usually a low gloss or satin finish that wears only as the wood wears
