Your starting point is your floor finisher showing you samples.

The pin did not have any info?

Photos of what you HAVE will tell us how you proceed to get a look you've seen in a perfectly lit photo (with photo shop).

I like Loba WS Easy Prime + 2-3 coats of Loba 2K Supra AT. Your FIRST coat of the AT = gloss. If you do THREE COATS you will do 2nd coat of gloss as well. THEN the FINAL COAT is the gloss level you are hoping for. That's when I would move to Satin.

The satin settles down to the gloss level you are seeing on the inspiration pic you are showing. It takes about 6 months - 1 year to achieve the LOWER gloss level...but it WILL happen. Trust me. Floors get DULLER as they age...NOT SHINIER.

Thanks for the advice. This is one coat of Easy Prime and one coat of Loba 2k Supra AT. The final coat will go on when everything else in the house is done. love the look so far!

Stunning! Sigh...I love this finish. It is so beautiful and the feeling underfoot is something you have to experience to believe.

Beautiful floors. So glad you could create the look you wanted!

what is the difference between a craft oil and a stain? Thx.

Craft oil is a finish not just stain. You can use it as is for a oil finish. For added protection , apply traffic hd over it.

Stain needs protective coating.

LIsa -- your floors are BEAUTIFUL. Thank you!

Thank you! So far they are my favorite part of the new house-thanks to advice I received here!

Your floors look awesome! This is the same as what we’re going to do with our white oak. What was the final coat?

Sousou, we are still waiting on the final coat due to home building delays but the final coat will be satin. The coat in the photo above is also satin. it isn't shiny at all. Just what i was hoping for. Good luck with your floors!
