Charlie & Co. Design, Ltd White Oak w/ oil finsih PRO Charlie & Co. Design, Ltd The main difference is the look (sheen) of oil vs. poly. Oil has a mat finish, where poly will have a polished feel to it. The only concern is that in high water use areas, such as around the sink in the kitchen, water marks will appear if you don't wipe right away. Over time, it wicks itself out, but nonetheless some clients don't care for the hassle. Like Bookmark February 6, 2012 at 7:15AM PRO WD Flooring The finish is Rubio Monocoat. The issues were related to two primary things not water spots but, rather, the caustic cleaners. Rubio Monocoat actually will not water spot but cleaning agents with caustic chemicals (ether, bleach, ammonia etc) will create an issue. Still it is readily repairable.
PRO Fieldcrest Builders Inc I think the traction on natural stone has more to do with the finish than the variety of stone itself. I wouldn't use polished finish in the area you're describing -- it would be a little dangerous to run on with wet feet. In this space we used a travertine with what they called a "French Quarter Paver" finish, which is basically a thicker tile (3/4") with a tumbled finish and a lot of pitting. Because of all of that surface variation, the traction is pretty good. Good luck! Like Bookmark May 14, 2014 at 10:07AM
