[Tango-L] floor finishings

Mon Mar 3 12:13:41 EST 2008

We have a dance floor in our house.
Our maple hardwood dance floor was installed in 2004 by Premier Hard Wood 
Floors in Avon Lake, Ohio
Phone 440-933-5080 
I would suggest calling them and asking Rob Hall, the owner, exactly what he 
used to finish our floor.  He put two coatings on the floor.  I believe the 
first coat was a water-based urethane, and the second coat was an oil-based 
urethane.  I could be wrong, and the oil-based urethane was the first coat and the 
water-based urethane the top coat.
Anyway, Rob Hall can tell you the exact order of application.
We are extremely pleased with this maple floor and the finish.  The finish is 
satin smooth...like a baby's skin!  When you walk across it in your stocking 
feet, well, the only word to describe it "soft"!  We get many, many 
compliments on our floor.
Our dance floor is used only for dancing.  The only street shoes come from 
newbie men for their first lesson.
Rob instructed us to clean it only with Windex.  We rarely have to clean it 
anyway, as it does not get "dirty".  For scuff marks, I use a "magic" cloth 
with a little windex and some elbow grease and my thumb.  The marks come off like 
magic!
Please do not hesitate to call Premier Hard Wood Floors. I am sure that Rob 
can look up our file and tell you how he finished our floor.
Now that I think of it, I will call Rob myself and ask him about the 
coatings, as it is not written in my notes, which I just looked up.  Then I can add it 
to my file too.
Good luck and see you on the dance floor.
