FAQ Is it harder to maintain an oil finished floor versus a sealed polyurethane floor?

Not really, both types of floor finishes need to be cleaned, maintained and refinished.

With an oiled floor, we are very specific about which products to use to clean and maintain compared to a polyurethane floor.

In the long run, an oiled floor is easier to maintain because refinishing does not require sanding. An oiled floor is cleaned and a fresh coat of maintenance oiled is applied. Only refinishing traffic patterns and specific rooms can be done with oil as well.

In contrast, refinishing a polyurethane floor requires sanding the entire floor and starting over the finishing process.
