Refinished Hardwood Floors Feel Rough

The previous finish was smooth like a basketball gym floor.

Refinished hardwood floors feel rough. We saw two other floors installed by him two refinished by him and did not observe a rough finish on those floors. I applied the 2nd coat of satin poly minwax super fast drying polyurethane for floors and the floor feels mostly smooth except for some rough spots i can see dust bubbles but those areas feel smooth which i can live with. Flooring experts estimate that hardwood floors can be sanded for refinishing up to 10 times depending on the thoroughness of the sanding and the level of wear and tear on the floor. If you only have some minor scratches and dings or a dull finish you might be able to simply buff and add a new coat of varnish.

Assess the damage to your floors. The original finish was semigloss or possibly glossy finish the refinished floors have a satin finish. Thank you for your replies we rented a drum sander and started with a 36 grit followed by an 80 grit and finished with a 120 grit the wood felt as smooth as glass before the first coat of polyurethane was put down we are using minwax oil base gloss polyurethane for floors the can says no sanding between coats required we are going to put a fourth coat on this evening but i will lightly sand. Whether renovating an old home or just looking for a way to spruce up your current abode refinishing hardwood floors is a great way to make a space feel brand new.

Location is a very small island 700 people and this guy was the most recommended by two realty companies the guy in the only hardware store in town and some property and shop owners. I just completed the long endeavor of refinishing original hardwood floors that were under the carpet upstairs.
