The screen and coat procedure of hardwood floors does not require complete refinishing. Saving both time and money.
This procedure brings floors back to thier original beauty. Frequent applications can eliminate the need for a complete refinishing at a later date. Screening prepares already finished floors to accept another coat of finish. Without the screening process, any new finishes are very likely to peel off.
It is helpful to know the histrory of your floors if you are considering this procedure. This is becausethe cleaners or waxes can conflict with this process.
Waxed type hardwood floors cannot be screened and coated unless the wax is completely removed.
