Best finish-in-place oak floor finish

11 years ago

I have finish-in-place top-nail oak floors. At some point in time we will be remodeling our kitchen and would like to continue the oak floors here also. We may have to refinish the existing floors at the same time. What is considered the best, most durable floor finish or polyurethane that will withstand kitchen abuse?

Thanks for the response. How long have you had it on your floor and how does it react to something that is dropped? Did you apply the finish yourself?

Dishwasher Location

A dishwasher is usually near the sink because it needs plumbing. I'd assume your placement will be near the sink for the same reason. They usually have doors that open down. If it is in a corner, it will block the opening of cabinets next to it. It will also create a mass that makes it harder to reach cabinets above it. It will probably generate some heat, so you don't want it next to your fridge. When it is opened after finishing a cycle, heat and steam will come out, so given the option, you might not want it below cabinets where dry goods are stored, although this hasn't been an issue for me, but I live in a house where I run a humidifier for half of the year.

Herring bone is beautiful but expensive to install. Teak is a little darker than oak so if the room is small then you will want to work with the lightest wood = oak. Oil finish will offer low gloss with a beautiful silky/velvety appearance that keeps the wood looking very natural. Easy to repair by the homeowner if scratches occur. Low traffic areas (like bedrooms) can have finish reapplied every few years...depending on wear. A low gloss polyurethane will do the same thing...but some people complain of "foot prints" being visible on the matte poly finish. Turns out the oils from the skin/socks is shinier than the matte finish = foot prints.
