What is the difference between Refinishing & Recoating?

Refinishing is the process of completely sanding down the floor to remove dents, scratches and inconsistencies in the finish. This is followed by applying 3 coatings of the finish of your choice. Recoating on the other hand is a sprucing up or preventative maintenance procedure. Recoating involves buffing the floor with a light grit screen. The screening abrades the existing finish to allow the coating to bond. It also removes many of the surface scratches. The buffing is followed by applying a single coating.
