Intercoat Abrasion Sandpaper & Screens
Intercoat abrasion, also known as screen and recoat, is a process used to restore the finish on a hardwood floor without sanding down to the raw wood. This process involves lightly abrading the surface of the existing finish with a fine grit sandpaper or abrasive pad, then applying a new coat of finish over top. Intercoat abrasion is a less invasive and time-consuming process compared to full sanding and refinishing, and it can be used to refresh the appearance of a floor without completely removing the existing finish. It is an excellent option for maintaining the appearance of a hardwood floor and extending its life without the need for a full refinish.
