Floor Finishes

Hard Finishes - Hard finishes are very popular today because they are durable, water-resistant and require minimal maintenance.  Hard finishes are blends of synthetic resins.  These finishes most often referred to as urethanes or poly-urethanes remain on the surface of the wood and form a protective coating.  They are generally available in high-gloss, semi-gloss, satin and matte.  Any one of the hard finishes are appropriate for the kitchen.

Shown on the right are sample panel photos of many popular species which we offer in flooring.  The top-half of the sample panels are latex-based, and the bottom half shows the appearance with an oil-based finish.

Please be aware that the photos shown are subject to the display settings and quality of your monitor and may vary in appearance from the actual photos.

The photos  do not contain all possible variations in color and character of the actual wood and are to serve only as a general representation of appearance.

Boyds Floors will gladly do a custom stain on your floor.

Please note:  While water-based finishes dry faster and have lesser odor, based on our experience they do not last very long and we do not recommend using them unless a client specifically requests them.
