Perfect methods for floor finishing success
When you come to finish your hardwood floor, it's the attention to detail that makes all the difference. Assuming you've used the right grit sequence when floor sanding, and you've hired dust free sanding equipment for easy clean up, you should have a perfectly smooth and even surface on which to apply your chosen finish. Getting it right is the difference between floors that add value and the wow factor to your home, and floors that will need sanding and finishing again.
Finish with a primer
When you apply a primer, you ensure that the adhesion between your floorboards and your chosen finish is optimal. Using a primer will also help to prevent your floorboards from side bonding. Another advantage of finishing with a primer is that you don't have to sand after the primer coat is applied - simply wait the recommended amount of time before applying two coats of your chosen finish, sanding between each coat.
Finish without a primer
If you choose not to use a primer, then you'll need to apply three coats of finish with an intermediate sanding between each coat. While using more coats of finish will create a durable and long-lasting finish, you can also run the risk of losing the natural appearance of the hardwood.
Don't skip the sanding
The key to the perfect finish, whether or not you choose to use primer, is to sand between coats. A buffer using a 100-150 grit sanding screen is the ideal tool, as it's a less aggressive way of smoothing down the wood grain that becomes raised after the first coat of finish.
Since you're simply re-smoothing the surface, you only need to use low pressure. Move quickly across the floor and then sand the edges quickly and lightly with a hand block or orbital sander. You'll need to use the same grit for both processes otherwise you'll create a visible transition between the two areas.
The aim of intermediate sanding is to create that perfect smooth finish, so be gentle otherwise you'll sand off the finish you've already applied. Do that and you'll create darker areas that will stand out when the final coat is applied. A gentle touch and a sanding screen gives perfect results, so if you want to create that wow factor floor, intermediate sanding is a step you can't afford to skip.
