We also have a large supply or floor finishes. Look below for various types of finishes and the brands that manufacture these finishes.
Swedish Finish Products
Acid cured urethanes are the most durable of all the other products. They are fast drying, resist yellowing, and are very flammable and hazardous. After using these products you should be out of the house for at least 48 hours. Because of the nature of these products, they are only sold to the professional floor sander. Brands include Glitsa and Synteko.
Waterborne
Waterborne finishes are newer than the other finishes and are environmentally safe. This type of finish is the fastest growing product in the flooring industry as well as for the consumer. The product itself is durable, almost odorless, and dries quickly. Brands include Bona, Basic Coatings, Dura Seal and Glitsa.
Oil Modified
Polyurethanes are the most common floor finish. It has an amber cast and ambers more with time in most cases. Less light will help the finish amber faster. Our Niles Center super poly (90, 92, 95) will have a slight ambering effect. Brands for this type of finish that we carry are Masterline, Dura Seal and Bona.
Waxes
Wax is a very good protection. However, before you put wax on you must be sure that you want wax. Unfortunately, once you put the wax on you must take it all off before putting any other finish over the floor. Waxes that we carry are made by Dura Seal.
Stains
Staining your hardwood floor makes your floor shine even more! We at Niles Color Center do the best matching of stain. We specialize in custom colors. Bring in your sample with the wood you are using and we will make you a custom color. Some of the stain brands that we carry include: Dura Seal, Dri Fast Bona, Minwax and Glitsa.

Stain Matching
We do specialize in custom stain matching. Bring in a piece of wood or tile that you want matched and a piece of unfinished wood you want it matched on. We are happy to provide most common species of unfinished wood for a small fee if you do not have. Custom matches usually take 24-48 hours.
