Difficult to repair if pre finished hardwood flooring gets scratched or dented during installation you have no option but to replace the entire floorboard.
Apply extra coat on prefinished hardwood.
It cannot be done.
But since the introduction of prefinished solid hardwood during the 1940s this newer form of flooring has become increasingly popular and today you may find that it s easier to find than traditional unfinished hardwood planks.
The urethane used in sealing wood surfaces is more commonly known as polyurethane.
Forget the notion of trying to fill sand and re seal with your own coating.
Prefinished floors offer serious challenges to re coating because of the type.
I read the question about the differences between laminate hardwood and pre finished.
Lightly sand with a dull 120 to 150 grit abrasive screen or 2 steel wool under a heavy floor buffer.
Can prefinished hardwood be sealed to avoid this problem.
Yes a polyurethane finished hardwood floor may have additional coats of polyurethane applied.
Before you attempt to apply polyurethane to a prefinished floor contact the flooring.
Whether you can seal a prefinished floor with polyurethane depends on your circumstances and the condition of the hardwood floor.
There is no way you can ever manually duplicate the factory coating.
In general factory finishes and comparable coatings you apply by site finishing such as polyurethane take little maintenance.
Keep the floor clean use furniture floor protectors and expect to apply a new coat of polyurethane on the floor every five to.
