Wondering why you should choose Basic Coatings® waterbased finishes and sealers for your wood floors?
Because they are more durable, are better for your health and for the environment, achieve a wide array of looks, are faster to implement, and are safer. Also, because there’s nothing quite like a beautiful wood floor to take a room to the next
level. Let’s take an in-depth look at the advantages of waterbased finishes and sealers.
1. Advanced durability: Waterbased finishes and sealers offer the ultimate protection for your wood floor, allowing you to safeguard your beautiful wood floor with long-lasting durability. Tested for abrasion resistance (the
ability of the coating to withstand mechanical action such as scuffing or erosion), some waterbased finishes, like StreetShoe® NXT,
have proven to be five times more resistant to wear than oil-modified urethane.
2. Greener/low VOCs: All Basic Coatings waterbased sealers and finishes are VOC (volatile organic compounds) compliant and can be used
everywhere throughout North America. The lower the VOCs, the lower the odor. In addition to lower odor during installation, because waterbased sealers and finishes cure faster, the lower odor dissipates faster. All Basic Coatings waterbased sealers
and finishes are LEED compliant. Furthermore, exposure to increased VOCs can cause health and environmental problems, so limiting them should be a top priority.
3. Design options: Whether you prefer a clear or traditional, warm amber look, Basic Coatings can offer finishes in both options to fit your style.
4. Available choices: No other manufacturer
offers more sheen levels than Basic Coatings. Whether you are looking for gloss, semi-gloss, satin, or super matte, we have you covered. We even offer Pure Matte® for the most discriminating tastes.
5. Speed of application: With the quick dry times of Basic Coatings waterbased finishes and sealers, you can actually apply more
coats on the floor faster, ultimately completing jobs sooner!
6. Faster cure: In addition to completing the job sooner, floors are also back in service faster. StreetShoe NXT is the fastest-curing finish on the market, achieving 90% cure in just 24 hours.
7. Safety: Waterbased finishes are not combustible or flammable, and neither are their vapors.
There are a lot of options in floor care, and it can get overwhelming quickly. That’s why Basic Coatings® makes it easy. We’re here to educate, evaluate, and advise you on what’s best for your floors. To learn more about the
