Sherrill grade 8, 80% rayon 20% poly, wear medium cleanability SW
Comments (3)SW means you can clean it with either solvent(S) or water(W) based cleaners. "Wearabilty" is usually measured by some type of "rub test" such as the Wyzenbeek Test. Fabric is pulled taut and rubbed in both the warp and filling directions, using a piece of cotton duck fabric as the abradant. The number of cycles, or double rubs, endured before the fabric shows "noticeable wear" is counted and determines the fabric's abrasion rating. Generally, somewhere there will be a rating such as "80,000 double rubs." Grade is an indication of price, nothing else. I don't know what the weave is, but rayon chenille is very prone to matting and to water damage.

Comments (123)Angela Noble, Applying 3 coats is meaningless if, the contractor does not prep or apply the proper coverage. All of Pallman's water borne finishes require a final cut at 100 or 120 grit and 450-500 coverage per gallon. The sealer will seal 80% of the pores with proper coverage of 450 sq. ft. per gallon. Allowing 20% of wood for the first coat of polyurethane to grab onto. With an additional 2 coats of water borne polyurethane at the proper coverage of 450-500 per gallon. Your floors should be more than sealed. If, the products was diluted or applied improperly. Your floors will not have the proper coverage and will not be properly sealed. Leaving it vulnerable to premature wear and failure. How was the product applied: T-bar, rolled, brush? Are there gaps in the floor? Was there any thinning of the product?...See MoreProblems with Waterlox & can you use oil based poly over Waterlox
Comments (6)We have butcher block counter tops including around the sinks in the kitchen and the bathrooms. I used Waterlox on all of our butcher block counter tops two years ago. We loved it at first. But after 2 years it has some deep stains that can only be removed by deep sanding down to the wood. This brown stain is caused by getting baking soda based cleaning and bathing products on the surface especially around the tub and the sinks. This causes a medium brown stain wherever the baking soda water splashed onto the surface that must be sanded out. There are also some light colored stains around the sinks that I don't know what caused them. These look like water marks, but I don't think they are caused by water. Possibly these are caused by splashing mouth wash containing alcohol, but am not sure. I would not use Waterlox again if I had to start over. I would use an oil based exterior poly urethane made specifically for wood floors that can also be used on counter tops. Just my opinion. Try a small spot to experiment....See MoreWater based poly on wood in a kitchen? Will I regret it?
Comments (10)Sandra, Trek Plus is a good finish. Formerly part of LastN'Last, now with Absolute. Although Absolute owns LastN'Last, also. With proper sanding and coverage. The aluminum oxide finish will last . This finish will benefit from a film building sealer. Apply several coats of sealer, then 1 or 2 coats of Trek Plus. That's how factory finish floors are coated. Several film building sealers (5-8), then 1 or 2 coats of top coats. If, you would like to find out what type of polyurethane is best. Contact the sales rep of the brand that you would like to use. They will tell you which of their product line is best. Oil base is a good quality finish, not the best. Water base and solvent base will out perform an oil base finish. Many contractors will recommend an oil base finish, because it does not require detailed sanding, is easy to put down and doesn't break the bank....See MoreVi Truvian
