More FAQs- Does a urethane floor need to be buffed?
- Will applying acrylic void my manufacturer’s warranty on the floor?
- Is drying and curing the same thing?
Urethane is NEVER buffed. Buffing may actually diminish the gloss of the finish.
It may. However, most factory warranties do not cover scratching, wear and abrasion. If your floor has reached this stage, your best option is to protect it. Many factory finishes, like acrylic, will eventually wear out. You can most closely achieve that factory finish by applying a thin coat of acrylic. Refer to the manufacturer’s warranty.
No. Drying means that the surface layer is no longer wet or damp to the touch. Curing, on the other hand, means that urethane has reached its maximum hardness thereby providing the necessary protection of your flooring.
