What water-based clear coats product for Cypress pine flooring?

[wattosark]

Hello. Well we have removed all nails and many many staples and our floors are ready for nail hole filling and sanding.

Our question is what the best water based product is recommended.  My husband who was a professional house painter prefers Intergrain. 

As you can see some areas are bare, some have just had a sealer and a portion of the kitchen had been coated with some gloss finish product. 

Any advice appreciated.

Hello @wattosark 

I'm sure you are aware that the flooring will need to be sanded back to timber to make sure you get a uniform finish when the sealer is applied. I'm familiar with the Intergrain decking products, but I've not seen any interior floor sealer on the website. For a water-based sealer, I propose looking at the Cabot's 4L Clear Water Based CFP Floor Satin. It is a hardwearing, clear floor coating suitable for all interior timber, parquetry and cork flooring. It is highly durable and has a fast-drying finish.

I recommend testing a small corner of your flooring so that you can see the finish that it produces on your timber floor. If you are happy with the results, you can then commit the entire floor.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks again Eric.

Are there any instructional videos on using the sanders that we will be hiring from Bunnings?

And perhaps the application of the Cabots CFP?

Hi @wattosark,

Here's a helpful step-by-step guide and video on How to sand timber floors. On the Cabot's CFP webpage, you'll find the application guide and, in the 'How to videos' section, a video showing how to apply the product.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
