Luster:
Matte Finish:
Has a very low luster/sheen level, is perfect for those who prize the look of natural wood. Unlike shiny finishes leave a silky-smooth surface while capturing all the rich colors wood has to offer.
Satin Finish:
Has some sheen level, but is the least shiny. Does not show as many scuff marks or scratches. It is the most popular choice of finish for hardwood flooring today.
Semi Gloss:
Has a shiny finish. This is usually as shiny was most people would prefer to go when finishing the hardwood flooring in theirs homes. Semi-gloss polyurethane is clear, shiny and not really recommended for households with pets or small children. As stated above the shinier you go, the more noticeable scratches, dents, scuff marks and imperfections will be.
Gloss:
Is the shiniest of the finishes, shows more scuff marks, scratches and imperfections on the floor.
Floor Care:
Routine cleaning involves sweeping, dust mopping or vacuuming using the bare floor setting to remove dust and dirty. Clean spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Don’t use wet mops or steam mops, which will damage the finish and the wood over long periods of time.
It is best to use a cleaner made specifically for the finish on the floor, Puma Hardwood Flooring can provide or recommend to you when the job is completed. Over time, when your wood floors start to look a little dull, we can be renewed through recoating. This involves applying a new coat of wood floor finish.
