Hardwood floor: new finish scratching/scuffing
Comments (3)Nope not a crappy Poly..just the ultra high expectations of consumers today. Anyone that knows wood and how it will perform understand that this is absolutely normal and they are going to continue for as long as you have the wood. now dont get me wrong, prefinished will have a tougher finish coat than site finished. That is just a fact and can be proven with research. I will say that there are a couple of Canadian companies and also Shaw applying now applying the aluminum oxide on top and have come up with a way to do it without clouding the wear layer. This is a product that amps of the resistance to abrasion big time. You have mostly abrasions...very few scratches at this point. The scratches will come and you must not worry about them. it adds to the patina of floor. For the people who to do not want to see what you are seeing, they should go to hand scraped or distressed flooring as old English will address the issue with perfection. There is no answer for you my friend..only that what you are experiencing is very normal. To take off your shows, and try not to ever mark the floor is placing undue hardship on you, your family, your pets and all else who enters your domain. Enjoy those damned floors just the way they are and understand that those marks are normal and you have the best flooring in your home that money can buy. They can be screened at a later date to make them museum quality once again, but who lives in a museum. I had pre finished floors laid 2 years ago and we have a beautiful high dollar home. I also puked in about 2 weeks and they I came to realize..such is life with Hardwood. Enjoy. Good Luck....See MoreScuffs and scratches in new hardwood floors
Comments (1)Did you have your floors finished before the cabinet install? Im having the hardwood installed but not stained/poly'd until everything else is installed. Maybe once everything is completely installed, you can get your hardwood guy back to sand out the scuffs and repoly?...See Morepainter scratched new hardwood floors
Comments (1)As mentioned elsewhere, the flooring should have been after the paint but what is done is done. If you saw what happened then what is you're question? The worker that dropped the paint is responsible. If you have to replace the whole floor, then so be it.Thats what insurance is for. Hopefully you hired a real painter and not some fly by night guy....See Morepainter scratched new hardwood floors
Comments (6)Thanks for all the replies. It's in the middle of a hallway so covering up isn't an option. The painter is pretty reputable and seems ok with paying for the fix. I was dreading a fight, and am glad at least they took responsibility. It's glued-down engineered floor so I'm not sure if replacing the plank is possible, but if it is, that's probably the best fix. We do have extra planks....See MoreRelated Professionals
