Black polyurethane oak floor. For a red oak floor or a stained floor use either type of finish another advantage of waterborne polyurethane is how quickly it dries you can apply two coats in three hours and walk on the floor in your socks after seven hours.

Flat or matte polyurethane leaves the least shiny coating and conveys the look of natural unfinished wood. Satin polyurethane has a low to medium sheen that helps conceal dirt and scratches making it popular for flooring.
Semi gloss polyurethane and gloss polyurethane have a higher level of sheen and reflectivity. Polyurethane is the finishing touch that gives the oak floor its deep shine and luster. If you want to preserve the creamy white look of maple for instance use waterborne polyurethane. Apply polyurethane with a lamb s wool or microfiber applicator according to the manufacturer s instructions.
Sweep the floor and then damp mop it with water and white vinegar 10 1 ratio or go over it with a tack cloth. The amount of shine in your floor s finish helps determine how it shows dirt and scuffs.
