PolyWhey® Floor Finish is a professional-grade water-based polyurethane engineered for homeowners and contractors looking for durability with lower odor and reduced off-gassing compared to many traditional solvent-based finishes.

A single gallon covers an impressive 500–600 square feet, and with three coats possible in a single day, you can achieve a flawless finish faster.

 

THIS PRODUCT IS BEST FOR:

✅ Families sensitive to strong finish odors

✅ Occupied homes during refinishing

✅ Contractors needing faster project turnaround

✅ Schools and commercial interiors

✅ Natural hardwood appearance without ambering

✅ Water-based polyurethane users wanting higher durability


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

 

Does PolyWhey® Floor Finish smell?

Under normal conditions, coats typically dry within 1–2 hours. Full cure is approximately one week.

 

Does PolyWhey® yellow over time?

PolyWhey® dries clear and is designed to preserve the natural appearance of wood without the ongoing ambering often associated with oil-based polyurethane finishes.
