Oak)
Posted in Uncategorized on 09/17/2010 07:39 am by adminIs there a good way to refinish an oak parque floor with polyurethane? Need to sand? Steps to clean first?
This floor is on a concrete slab. It is dark oak, squares made up of narrow strips of wood, running alternately east-west and north-south.
Was original finish polyurethane? If so you can apply a fresh coat to bring back the shine of a new floor. Proper preperation is essential in order to get the best result. Thoroughly clean the floor with a hardwood floor cleaner. Minor scratches can be filled and small discolored areas can be touched up with stain before applying the new poly.
If you choose to sand the whole floor and restain before applying new poly, be aware that excessive sanding can quickly ruin your floor. Chances are that your floor is a laminated material. If you were able to look at a piece of the flooring from the edge, it would probably look a lot like a thin piece of plywood with the top layer being the finished wood surface. That top layer is usually very thin and an electric floor sander can quickly sand right through this layer and ruin your floor. Sand lightly and carefully and you should have no problem.
Good luck with your project.

Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates $5.33 Hall and Oates often enlivened ’70s and ’80s radio with sharp pop concoctions that drew on a wellspring of R&B influences picked up in their hometown of Philadelphia. They scored frequently enough, in fact, that this 20-track collection–intended to supplement or replace the earlier Rock ‘n Soul, Part 1 with post-’83 winners–doesn’t capture all their finest moments.
