Your Finish is Green

Your floor's finish from Goodwin has a level of quality far above what is currently available on other reclaimed wood. Three components are employed: true oil finish, coloration, and a superior water-based topcoat. The result is both beautiful on reclaimed wood and wears well over time.

Oil Finish: The first layer of Goodwin's Precision Engineered floor finish is a high-quality, no-VOC oil by WOCA (Wood Oil Company of America) derived from cold-pressed vegetable oils and aromatic hardening oils that penetrate deeply to harden the surface of the wood grain, this gives a highly wear-resistant, easy-to-maintain floor. Two coats give a matte, natural look, or use and additional coat for more sheen. This system works well in heavy traffic commercial applications such as malls.

Coloration: Reclaimed wood looks good with some ‘warmth’. Traditional stains have VOC content, lack of clarity caused by the pigment, and a tendency to color shift over time. Instead, our standard first coat is an amberizing sealer formulated to avoid batch-to-batch variation in traditional dyes and with far better long-term performance. We also offer custom chemical alteration or custom dyes.

Film Finish for Your Top Coat: Typical roll coated, ultraviolet lamp cured film finishes often show texture and clarity issues. Our prefinish wear layer employs a spray-applied waterborne polyurethane system to provide high-performance wear with greater clarity and furniture quality surface texture.
