*How is a Flooring Topcoat Different than a Furniture or Cabinet Finish?

Pro Floor Finishes Compatibility

Three features differentiate flooring topcoats

General Finishes flooring topcoat, Pro Image, is fortified with significantly more urethane to increase durability.
The slip rate of flooring topcoats is higher to improve floor safety and reduce the likelihood of slipping; approximately a 5.7 rating. For example, someone in socks is less likely to slip on a flooring finish, or a basketball player is less likely to slip on a good professional floor finish.

*How Important is the "Hardness" of a Wood Finish?

Water Based Topcoats Technique Tips

The hardness properties of a wood finish are formulated around the objectives of use. A hard finish is desirable on projects that get heavy wear such as kitchen cabinets or table tops.

But in other situations, such as an outdoor topcoat, a desired property of the finish is elongation, which allows the topcoat to expand and contract through different extremes of temperature.
