HIGH-SOLID OIl FINISHES
Some customers prefer oil-based finishes and stains because they can give hardwood an added depth and warmth not found with waterborne finishes. Oil-based products are absorbed into the fibers of your wood floors and accentuate figuring and wood grain. One characteristic of oil-based finishes is a “yellowing” that occurs over time. Some homeowners prefer this effect while others appreciate the options water-based finishes and oil-based stains offer for customizing hardwood floors.
There is a slight difference in color and sheen between water-based and oil-based finishes and there are a variety of oil-based stains which can further change the appearance of your hardwood floors. Most oil finishes are ready to walk on within 24 hours and take up to two weeks to cure completely.
