Palatine Hardwood Floor Refinishing with Bona AmberSeal

Palatine Hardwood Floor Refinishing – Floor is perfectly smooth and flat.

Palatine Hardwood Floor Refinishing with Bona AmberSeal

Beautiful hardwood floors can often be restored without replacing the existing flooring. This Palatine, Illinois hardwood floor refinishing project focused on creating a smooth, flat surface while maintaining a natural appearance and matching the existing hardwood floor.

For this project, Tom & Peter Flooring used Bona AmberSeal to help achieve the desired natural color, followed by a Bona Traffic Satin finish for the completed floor.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Palatine, Illinois

This Palatine hardwood floor had the potential to be restored and brought back to a beautiful, finished appearance. Our goal was to create a smooth and flat surface while matching the natural color of the existing hardwood flooring.

Choosing the right sealer and finish is an important part of a hardwood floor refinishing project. The products and process can affect the final color, appearance, and overall look of the finished floor.

Natural Color Matching with Bona AmberSeal

For this project, we used two coats of Bona AmberSeal to achieve the desired natural color and help match the existing hardwood floor.

Bona AmberSeal is a waterborne sealer designed to provide an oil-based appearance while maintaining the advantages of a waterborne system. In this project, it was selected as part of the process used to achieve the desired color and appearance of the refinished hardwood floor.

Color selection is an important part of hardwood floor refinishing. The same stain or sealer can look different depending on the species, age, condition, and existing color of the wood.

Bona Traffic Satin Finish

After the Bona AmberSeal application, the floor received a final Bona Traffic Satin finish.

A satin finish provides a lower-luster appearance than a high-gloss finish and can complement the natural look of hardwood flooring. The final finish is an important part of the refinishing process because it helps protect the newly restored floor while completing its appearance.

Our Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process

Every hardwood floor is different, so the refinishing process begins with evaluating the existing flooring and determining the appropriate approach.

Our professional hardwood floor refinishing process can include:

• Inspecting the existing hardwood flooring
• Preparing the floor for refinishing
• Sanding the existing finish and preparing the wood surface
• Addressing gaps, cracks, gouges, or damaged boards when necessary
• Preparing the surface for the selected sealer or stain
• Applying the appropriate sealer or stain
• Applying the selected protective finish
• Final inspection of the completed floor

Tom & Peter Flooring uses professional sanding equipment, including the Lagler Trio system, as part of its hardwood floor sanding and refinishing work. The company describes the Trio as a specialized machine used to produce a particularly smooth and flat surface.

Why Refinish Hardwood Floors Instead of Replacing Them?

When existing hardwood flooring is structurally suitable for refinishing, sanding and refinishing can be an effective way to improve its appearance without completely replacing the floor.

Refinishing can help restore worn or dull hardwood flooring and can also provide an opportunity to change the appearance of the floor through the selection of a new stain, sealer, or finish.
