Another Flooring Lacquer related question i've been asked many times is:- "Should I use more than 3 coats of Bona Mega ?"
There is no hard and fast rule as to how many coats of Flooring Lacquer can be used on your project, you can have as many coats as you like, there is nothing stopping you applying 10 coats of lacquer to your wood floor if you want, but you have to weigh up 2 main variables....TIME & COST......Obviously the more coats you apply to your wood floor the more its going to cost that's Math 101....The Time variable is the another issue to consider.
If say your project is a busy Hallway that leads to your upstairs living space or Bedrooms/Bathroom , adding coat after coat will put these spaces out of commission for a relatively long space of time and can make things difficult if you have family living in the house/area whilst you are undertaking the renovation works.....its just something to consider and bear in mind.
Most self respecting Professional Floor Sanding Companies will apply 3 coats of a good quality flooring lacquer to any given project...in this case a Hallway, the 3 coat system is pretty much the standard for domestic situations in the Floor Sanding Industry, for commercial situations a 4 coat system with a High Traffic finish is normally standard and used extensively throughout the industry.
If in doubt ask a Professional.
We use 3 coats, as standart, 1 coat of Prime, 2 coats of Mega, charging extra for another coat.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is the time rather the cost.
