@@SpiritTracker7 Engineered Hardwood Floor already comes with a veneer to protect the planks from the manufacturer. If you really must yes you can apply poly like stated above it will need a sealer 1st to help bond it.
@@royalmastersfloorcleanings Ah okay, I was more or less talking about when that protective layer wears down, if one could squuze more time out of them by recoating them. But I understand what you mean.
Absolutely not! As a hardwood professional installer/sander customers are required to sign a screen and coat waiver stating no waxes or oil soaps were used on the floor as polyurethane will not adhere to these snake oil products. A screen and coat is a similar process but the correct way to pro long the life of you're floor. These products may look good for a month tops, but soon will look worse than before. The amount of water solution they apply to hardwood should count as destruction of property in itself. Higher a hardwood professional! Anyone that has had this done pay attention because I will almost guarantee you're floor is starting to crown/cup from these kind of untraditional processes.
Sir I really need your expert advice .....someone recently did my mother floors ,he told us they were solid wood floors but we later find out that they are engineered floors,the guy that did it not only did he put an oil based polyurethane but he didnt remove any dents,scratches or scuff prior to applying the polyurethane and he also sanded the engineered wood .I was told afterwards that you aren't supposed to sand engineered floors so could you please tell me what can I do to remove this polyurethane and the dents,scratches and scuffs in the floor ?how can we get the floor back right and not have to spend a fortune any advice would help please
I do apologize for your experience but the first thing to do is to identify exactly what kind of floor it is, then find out if it is an Acrylic Finish or a Poly water base, or oil base.. I'm sorry this happened to you I hope and pray all works out for you.🙏
You overpaid for armature work, all these clean and coat companies are the same. Scratches and dents only come out when sanded down and most ..not all, engineered wood floors have at least one sanding in them from a professional sand and refinish company. If it is an wax acrylic you will need both a though cleaning then a sand and recoat this will be a premium service and you can thank your last floor idiot for the extra costs.
@@ericwarmington522 I would use the same process if wax is on the floor if not i would scrubb with either IFT or Squeaky and lastly finish with Laminator Plus.👍
Would zep stripper be a good floor dissolver? I have the same floors with wax buildup on them. Then I could clean it with a ph neutralizer. I really need help and I don’t want to mess my floor up.
You can but just remember not to leave it on the floor too long or else it can possibly damage your floor. Do it in small sections and dilute the stripper as recommended 👍
Red pad 🤟
Yessir
How much you charge per square foot sir?
For this service we charge $2.00 a sq ft.
What pad are you using sir ?
Red pad
Can you come back over this with a polyurethane sealer?
You could if you placed a sealer 1st and then applied polyurethane but the question should be why would you do that?🤯

Thanks for watching!
What kind of a solution would you seal it with if the customer requested it?
I would go with Lobo or Bona water base.

Would you do this same process for laminate flooring?
Yessir you would 👍
Ok and if you dont mind me asking, what would you reccomend for a good polish for wood look laminate flooring?

@@royalmastersfloorcleanings THANKYOU! One more question after you ph the floor was that it or did you put polish on it.
After I ph the floor then I would seal if the client requested it, if not then the floor is good to go.
