Do you currently have hardwood floors throughout your home? Are you hoping they last a long time, so you don’t have to replace them in the near future? You can extend the life of your floors by applying a maintenance coat or finish. Doing this periodically over the years can help ensure that your floors not only look incredible, but are durable for many more years to come.
Adding a Maintenance Coat or Finish to Your Floors Can Extend Life by Maintaining a Wear Layer
The top layer of your floor is called the wear layer. This layer is made up of the finishing product, which means that when you see dents or scratches, they apply to the wear layer rather than the actual wood. If you ensure that this wear layer is preserved by continuously adding maintenance coats, you help protect the wood underneath.
When the wood becomes damaged, you will need to replace the hardwood floors, but this is easily avoidable by opting for maintenance finishes. When you do this, you need to make sure it is done by a professional.
Cost-Effective and Time Saving
Rather than paying a large amount of money to have the entire floor replaced, you can opt for the less expensive maintenance finish. A maintenance finish does not take long to apply and is a fraction of the price. Even though it takes less time and is less expensive, it doesn’t mean that your floors are any less protected. It ensures protection for a long while.
