Problem: Discoloration
Discoloration is almost always a result of direct sunlight
and oxidation. All oil-modified floor
finishes will amber over time, due to natural reactions with ultra violet
light. Water based floor finishes will
tend to lighten or yellow over time, due to the same reactions. Shading your windows and doors can help to
slow the reaction, however, the floor system is going to change color.
As for a “fix”…
Refinishing may be the only option with large areas of discoloration. If it is a small area that has been covered
by an area rug… Simply remove the rug for several weeks and see if the floor
starts to “catch up”. That may be all
you need.

ReplyDeleteIf you do not like the looks of your hardwood, tile, or even laminate flooring, you may want to install carpeting. It gives a home a comfortable, lived in feeling and is much better for your joints. Just remember to pull it up if you ever move, since no one wants a home with used carpeting.

Curious to know... Does adding a light almost natural stain to the 1st coat of finish solve this problem?

Not so much. It is the oil base in the polyurethane that changes in reaction to UV light. Regardless of stain, there will still be a color change.
