Hardwood floor buffing or recoating

The screen and coat procedure of hardwood floors does not require complete refinishing. This procedure refreshes the final appearance. Frequent applications can eliminate the need for a complete refinishing at a later date. Screening prepares already finished floors to accept another coat of finish. Without the screening process, any new finishes are very likely to peel off. For those with minor, worn or dull looking floors this procedure may be best suited. Minor surface scratches can be removed but not ones that are deeper into the finish or the material itself. Ordinarily one coat is applied. Other terms for this procedure include; buff and topcoat or top coating.

When planning a screen and coat, it becomes important to know what kind of cleaners have been used on the existing floor over the years, as they will conflict with any new application.
Waxed type hardwood floors cannot be screened and coated unless the wax is completely removed. For those with newer floors, it's a good idea to remember your cleaning maintenance for future reference. For this floor finish type, a new application of wax and buffing will revitalize the appearance and hide minor scratches.  Always use the manufacturers recommended cleaners or refer to Bonakemi, the leader in hardwood floor care products
Recoating a wood floor involves applying a coat of finish on top of the existing one. This procedure requires no sanding, is relatively inexpensive, and takes only a few hours to complete. The floor is first screened with a buffer, which slightly roughs up the surface so that the coat of finish will adhere better. The coat of finish is then applied.
Floors in California highly recommends recoating your floor every few years. (Between 3 to 7, depending on how heavily they are used). Recoating your floor will significantly extend the life of the hardwood floor in general, and allow considerably more time to pass before the wood floor will need to be refinished again. Recoating a wood flooring basically replaces the top coat of finish as it wears down, before the wood is exposed. Once the wood loses its protection and is exposed it will begin to turn gray, and will need sanding in order to be restored.
The important thing to remember is to use the right materials to clean the floor, that is, either vinegar and water (see maintenance information) or a commercial wood floor cleaner. Many products, such as Murphy’s Oil, will leave a residue which will not allow recoating, because the new coat of finish will not adhere very well.

Wood floor stain

A Wood stain, is a sub-category of paint, consists of a pigment suspended in a "vehicle" of solvent and binding agent (alkyd, linseed oil, acrylic, polyurethane, lacquer, or resin). It is formulated to impart or transport the pigment into the pores of the surface rather than creating a film on top of the surface.
Stain is composed of the same three primary ingredients as paint (pigment, solvent, and binder) but is predominantly pigment (or dye) and solvent with little binder. Much like the dying or staining of fabric, wood stain is designed to add color to the substrate of wood and other materials while leaving the substrate mostly visible. Transparent varnishes or surface films are applied afterwards. In principle, stains do not provide a surface coating or film. However, because the binders are from the same class of film-forming binders that are used in paints and varnishes, some build-up of film occurs.
Adding satin to your floors, is not expensive in fact is very affordable about $0.29 per sqft standard colors or $0.39 per sqft custom colors, one thing you do have to remember when you add stain to your wood floors is that, the hardwood floor refinish will take an extra 24 hours even if the hardwood stain is fast dry, also depends of the conditions inside the property, you can choose form 17 standard wood stain colors, or 9 custom wood stain blends.
Hardwood floor stain also get absorb by the wood unevenly, because of the density of some wood or the density of the wood grain, so don’t expect that will look perfectly evenly in all the area, also remember as darker you go in the shade of the wood stain, more chances you have to see the age and imperfections of the wood floors that you have.
