We install hardwood floors shortly after sheet rock is completed
I’ve used a lot of waterborne floor finishes over the years but my favorites are the ones made by BONA. See my past reviews on Bona Traffic, and Bona Naturale.
Here’s the background on this project. It’s a remodeled 1960’s house with Architecture by Webber + Studio Architects here in Austin, TX. This is a solid 3/4″ Pecan floor nailed to 3/4″ plywood over a vapor barrier on a concrete slab. We laid the floor with raw wood then sanded just the edges of the floor where base molding would hit the floor (in order to eliminate shoe molding we install floors THEN base).
View the slideshow to see how we installed the floors and finished them as well as the final results.
In conclusion, I’m a fan of Bona Mega. This product has performed well, has a durable finish, and has the right sheen level. The house with these photos was completed 2 years ago now and it’s still looking fantastic. I would highly recommend this product for your wood floor project. Special thanks to Kristynik Hardwood floors who did a terrific job on this project.
