"Polished" vs "Coated" Timber Floors
Understanding the difference between coating and polishing a Timber Floor
Timber floor polishing is a misconstrued term. The application of a protective or decorative finish to a timber floor can be more accurately referred to as "coating" or "finishing". The truth is timber floor coatings don’t actually polish the floor. Timber floor coatings provide a finish which can be of gloss appearance, however polishing is a maintenance process done after the application of the floor coating.
