Waterbased polyurethanes have very little odor and dry rapidly, better
for indoor applications than oil based products. One of the finish
makers suggests Bonakemi, or a name similar to that, for floor
applications. Others that have used it rave about it. It would be
what I'd look for.

My house has wide plank pine floors. The floor boards vary in width from
around a foot to maybe two feet. Recently I decided to fix up the
bathroom floor. I removed two layers of bad old tile flooring to get
down to the original pine floor in the bathroom. This is a bathroom of
around 10" by 20" (originally not a bathroom since the house was built
in 1820 before homes had bathrooms).

I have sanded the floor down in the room and my plan is to coat it with
polyurethane. This bathroom has a sink, toilet and tub/shower. My
question is, is polyurethane over a pine floor acceptable in a bathroom?
Does anyone out there have a wood floor in a bathroom and does a coating
like this protect it enough from the potential water damage to the floor?
