I have decided to do a several part series of posts on
troubleshooting hardwood floor finishes.
Although many finish issues can result with the finish, many times the
underlined cause is not due to a finish problem. In each post in this series I will discuss a problem
and solutions to those problems. I am
fully aware that SOME issues arise due to product or contractor problems;
however, I am going to limit causes to the most likely.
Problem: Excessive and Early Finish Wear
The most likely culprit to excessive wear is improper floor
system maintenance that does not effectively remove grit from the floor, or
using strong cleaners and water.
Unprotected furniture legs are also a big contributor. Proper, regular maintenance consists of an
approved hardwood floor cleaner and an approved mop cover. Simple, but important. Another simple way to minimize your heart
ache… Felt pads on the bottom of all furniture legs and appliances.
What is the fix to early or excessive wear? Unfortunately it is a re-coat. You should contact your local wood flooring
professional and get it scheduled. The
longer that you let excessive wear go, the closer you are getting to a full blown
refinish!

I am always letting customers know that timely recoats prevent your from ever having to re-finish. I doubt that they remember by the time they need a recoat but what a time and money savings compared to the alternative refinish.
