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 Hardwood 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 Hardwood floor itself. Ordinarily one coat is applied. Other terms for this procedure include; buff and topcoat or top coating.

This procedure is the most cost effective way to renew your Hardwood floor's luster and general appearance.
