The Beauty Of Modern Floor Finish Products

	With Bona's low-VOC waterborne finishes there is no need to move out of your home during refinishing.

Waterborne Floor Finishing Products For Healthier Home Application

(HIT) - Newer … safer … wood floor refinishing products are restoring confidence among homeowners with projects that never seem to make it to the top of the home renovation list. The modern hardwood floor finishing products are waterborne. They have no harmful fumes, are virtually odorless and nonflammable, yet feature superior durability over their solvent-based counterparts. Homeowners can now plan restoration and maintenance wood flooring projects without those lingering concerns, and the new safer finishes will not change color over time.

When used in conjunction with environmentally responsible dust containment systems, the usual reluctance to the mess, and the generally unhealthy downtime that in past years accompanied such improvements, is virtually eliminated. Particularly for those with allergies and other breathing problems who may, additionally, be worried about lingering air quality, the news has never been better.

A Safer Environment for Homeowners and Hardwood Flooring Contractors Alike

The environmental focus of industry leaders like BonaKemi USA, Inc. has been key to the development of products and services like Bona’s GREENGUARD certified Environmental Choice System™ which features dust containment, waterborne finishes and floor care products that meet these stringent air-quality standards and testing protocols for indoor products.

An industry independent, non-profit organization, the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) works to improve public health and the quality of life through programs that improve indoor air quality. For more information visit www.greenguard.org.

No more dust. No more fumes. Dust containment systems and environmentally responsible floor finishes now offer an easier, healthier way to beautify wooden floors.

Current health assurances relating to the dust and fumes associated with traditional hardwood floor refinishing are met in two important ways. First the latest dust containment systems connect the sanding equipment to a high-powered vacuum, which extracts the dust generated during the sanding process. But dust containment is only half of the equation when it comes to maintaining indoor air quality. Using an environmentally responsible floor finish is the other.

"Refinishing hardwood floors with waterborne products and sanding with dust containment equipment creates a healthier environment for not only the hardwood flooring contractor, but the homeowner as well," according to Marilyn Black, Ph.D., of Air Quality Sciences, a third-party indoor air quality testing company that was part of the GEI team certifying the Bona system.
