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. Cabinet finishes have a much lower (negative) slip rate because folks want a silky, smooth finish on a cabinet or furniture; approximately a -.4 rating.
- A floor finish has more elongation - the finish stretches to provide flexibility over expanding and contracting woods.
