hello and thanks for the question. this is an oil based sealer with a low satin sheen over our new white oak character grade. oil based finishes have a warming effect on wood. they bring out more of the natural color. keep in mind this floor has been down for a while so it has absorbed a good bit of UV light which also warms the wood color.

what kind of floors are these?

new white oak in a character grade.

So does using an oil based sealer mean that there is no stain put on the wood?

flowergirl3, the oil based sealer is applied to bring out the natural color of the wood and you would use 2 coats of a water based urethane over that to protect it. With this said, I'm pretty sure that this finish is actually Minwax Golden Oak Stain with 2 coats of a satin waterbased urethane over top. There are other finishes that you can select - we offer an all natural, voc free, flax based finish that is applied in a single coat. It just allows the wood to be itself, no other coats necessary. Feel free to call us about it. 888-548-7609 or email to kdurning@kdwoodscompany.com. Thanks for the question, Karen.
