I contracted with a local retail flooring company to refinish my
hardwood floors, including:
- Sanding/patching
- Staining
- 3 coats of polyurethane
Instead of 3 coats of polyurethane, their subcontractor actually
installed:
- Stain
- 2 coats of Urethane (alcohol-based Baaca)
- 1 coat of Polyurethane (Minwax)
They did a great job sanding, patching, and staining.
But my concern is that they installed the Polyurethane ON TOP OF the
Urethane, all in about a 36 hour period. I plan to be in this house
at least ten years, and want the floors to last!
I don't know much about Polyurethane vs. Urethane, and can't find ANY
info about whether it's okay to put one on top of the other.
The local flooring company says that it's fine as-is, but has offered
to put an second coat of Polyurethane.
Is this okay?
Any advice/thoughts would be appreciated!
My bet is the polymer and the monomer will coexist comfortably - if indeed
it is a monomer anymore.
Professional outfits generally live or die by word of mouth. If your floor
causes you to badmouth....
