Hi,

I got two comparable quotes for floors in my house. My house is a 70
year old colonial with antique red oak floors.

There is one big difference. One company uses

1 coat of Emulsion followed by 3 coats of StreetShoe (by basic coatings)

the other company uses

2 coats of Absco Polyurethane

I hear that oil is better, but the other guy uses 4 coats.

Thank you so much in advance!

4 coats is better 2 just isnt enough since the first coat sinks in,
even the second coat doesnt lay on top fully. Oil Poly yellows , water
base doesnt, who says oil is better, ive seen 2 coat jobs and they
look bad and wont last but a few years.

Thanks you for the post.
