Problems with Rubio Monocoat
Comments (13)Greg, the results you are experiencing are not typical results. Wood floor finish failure can be caused by a number of variables. Our customer service team would be happy to help assess the cause and identify the best way to move forward. They are available M-F from 8am-4pm central time via Live Chat, phone or email. 844-ZERO-VOC (937-6862) info@rubiomonocoatusa.com. In response to your question about another coating being introduced, it is not something in the works. Our finish has been successfully used in the United States for over 10 years now. When applied and maintained properly, our finish has been successful in both residential and commercial applications....See MoreRubio Monocoat issues
Comments (71)Weve had Rubio on our floors and stairs for years, without a single issue! We’ve got kids and hunting dogs, so we are not easy on our floors This type of finish is also the most common in the world while what we do here in the states is not Most of the stains see in photos in this thread could be fixed in seconds with the rubio tanin remover. Any saying the rubio maintenance products are expensive dont realize the large bottle of soap will last a life time, as you use a cap full or less and not with every cleaning. it is important to understand that the look will be very different then the standard shinny floor you see in the U.S., rubio is basicall dead flat finish If you want gloss dont get rubio Also its far more repairable the a standard built-up finish Get a scratch on a rubio floor and you can hand sand it and put more rubio on Scratch a built-up finish and you have to refinish the whole floor Ill take rubio every time!...See MoreRubio Monocoat vs Bona Craft Oil 2k
Comments (9)Thanks Mary, I have read through a ton of the Rubio threads here and I see consistent opposing views in many of them. I also don't see a lot of people commenting who have all new construction and fresh solid red oak floors. In addition, we aren't changing the floor color too far off from natural. Maybe a very slight shade of brown but for the most part, we plan on going mostly natural. I know a lot of the Rubio issues have been with darker floors. With that said, I guess I am really interested in anyone who has used Bona Craft Oil 2k as I have seen basically nothing on that....See MoreHelp! Walnut butcherblock counter w/ sink-faucet style?monocoat?epoxy?
Comments (10)I installed a birch wood countertop on my last home. I LOVE wood counters. I had also used Waterlox after reading so much about it but was not impressed. Around my undermount sink I put 12 coats of polyurethane. That seem to hold up well, but if I had to do it over again I would’ve installed a sink that went to my backsplash, and had a hole for my faucet. I have since moved and no longer have wood countertops, but I have a solid oak top for my island, I just oil it and I love it. Good luck with your project....See MoreKCK781
