Can You Change The Color Of Your Hardwood Floors?

Yes, it’s true…you can go light or dark or red tones or anywhere in between.

First, let me caveat this by mentioning that I’m assuming you can sand and refinish your hardwood floors.

The process for sanding and refinishing hardwood floors

1

We typically do 3 sandings, each with finer grits (the grits vary based on the type of wood and age).

First, you sand the floors with sanding machine.

You can choose a light stain such as Golden oak or Golden Pecan, or a dark stain such as Ebony, Jacobean, dark walnut or Royal Mahogany.

Step 2 is to add a stain

The third step is to add polyurethane – usually 2-3 coats.

Assuming you are using oil based polyurethane it takes 24 hrs for each coat to dry and you screen (or buff) the floors after the 2nd coat is applied and in between each additional coat.
