Wood floors help - Bona Traffic over UV oil prefinished floors?

kpr2

Hi! I'm so confused and could use help. We're purchasing PREFINISHED European Oak wood floors from ADM Flooring - "Laguna Natural" color - and they have a "UV Oil" finish. ADM Flooring suggested while they are indeed considered prefinished, we should seal them with Bona Traffic after install if we want to avoid water marks, warping, etc. We are going for a very Scandinavian look - natural, light, matte/satin, NO YELLOW, NO SHINE. Question - is this good advice? Can you use a water based Bona Traffic over the uv oil prefinished wood? Pros? Cons? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance!

ps - I know there are many threads on this - I've read them all - but I'm even more confused now :)

    UV Oil could be several things. UV means "UV cured". That must is certain. The "oil" could mean "oil based polyurethane" (doubt it but it is possible) or it could mean an oil finish (hardwax oil finish or penetrating oil).

    Before you do anything you need to KNOW...I mean KNOW what that "UV oil" stands for. You can only apply "like to like". Bona Traffic is a polyurethane finish. It can only go over urethane or polyurethane finishes!!! It cannot go over OIL finishes or hardwax oil finishes.

    Ah...now you see the problem. "Oil" finish could mean something like Olie Oil finish or it could mean "oil based" or solvent based URETHANE. If you mix them up, you need a whole new floor.

    Whomsoever told you to use Bona Traffic just about ruined your floors.

    Here is what ADM Floors says:

    All of our oil based floors require to
    be cleaned immediately after installation with a natural wood flooring
    soap and then treated with wood flooring maintenance oil at least once. You
    can find Woca Natural Soap and Woca Maintenance Oil available for sale
    on our Accessories page. Contact our staff if you have questions or need
    more information.

    Cancork's info along with yours would strongly indicate that the floor is oil finished. Applying a waterborne urethane over top sounds like a very bad idea.

    @kpr2,

    uv oiled floors usually don't require to be oiled right away after installation. As Jennifer recommended, regularly cleaning your floor with Woca soap should serve your purpose. Hope this complete guide to care and maintain natural oil and uv oil floors is helpful to you with Woca maintenance products:
