We had 650 sf of hardwood flooring installed last summer. The salesman
assured us it would stand up to our two dogs. It didnt. The scratches
are awful.

We are considering having the floor sanded and refinished. Is there a
topcoat that will be more scratch resistant? What about epoxy?

Heres what we had installed:

Seems the salesman mislead you... or was not informed. In the specifications
it shows this flooring as Janka rated 1890 for durability with details of
that saying "Wood flooring durability is measured by the Janka Scale with a
rating from 830 (low durability) to a 4000 rating (most durable). This
rating scale helps choose the right floor to suit your lifestyle." At best
this was a low-middling durability flooring...

Perhaps it might be worth a talk with the store owner/manager with an eye
towards upgrading to a suitably Janka rated floor for the cost difference or
some other steep discount. Refinishing high silica based factory finishes
would probably cost nearly as much as coming to some kind of a deal.
