The world of hardwood floor finishing used to be limited in its offerings. Three coats of standard oil based finish would get applied to your floor and your flooring professional, on to their next project. Your color preferences could not have been considered, with an amber hue being your only option. In addition to limited color choices, the major and most concerning issue is the VOC off gassing experienced upon oil based application. VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. These compounds can escape during the finishing process. This gaseous chemical escape is not only occurring during the application process and drying stages; some linger in your space long after the finish is seemingly dry. Fast forward to today, we now have options that allow for the avoiding of risks associated with VOC’s.
Most modern day waterborne finishes are close to 80% dry within 24 hours, taking only three days to fully cure. Along with these waterborne finishes, we now have another new finishing system from Europe. This system utilizes Hard Wax Oils. Most hard wax oils are considered zero VOC or close to it. These oils come in a multitude of colors with many options enabling the adding of a pre color treatment or reactive stain, as well as, a topcoat color, allowing for unique and customizable color options.
The world of floor finishing has never offered so many options and we couldn’t be more excited to create with these beautiful applications! At Eco Options, we focus on creating looks for our customers to choose from with regard to color and finish. We are excited to offer these new finishes as they not only provide a beautiful, custom look but are much safer during application and ultimately, healthier for you and all that are welcomed into your space. We offer free estimates and a free first set of samples, upon request.
As we've come to understand the inner workings of our craft, we have become meticulous in our process. We find a technique that renders the optimum outcome and apply it with conviction, regardless of the time involved in perfecting your design needs. With over 30 years combined experience, you can rest assured that your project will receive our expert attention to detail.
