![]() If you lay down three coats of the satin you are going to have one of the toughest floor finishes available on the market. Personally I love the look and feel of the Loba 2K Supra AT. Then lay the new material in the out-of-the-way room and hope for the best. The only other thing I can think of (to get away from this mis-match) would be to harvest old flooring from a second bedroom/den, etc and lay it in the area where it is going to be most visible. I'm assuming it has been.but again this is an assumption. The only other thought I have is the old floor has NOT be sanded down yet. The old floor could be from older, denser trees (older at time of harvest) which could account for higher amounts of tannins in the wood. The third option, which is MOST likely is the AGE of the wood. ![]() Without seeing more of the old floor up against the new, it is hard to say. The second reason could be the wrong 'cut' or selection of grade for the wood. If the installer laid white oak (because that was an assumption at the time) it could be a species mis-match. Your first posts indicated that you *might have white oak. The colour variation between the old and the new could be for several reasons. I learn something everyday form this forum!

Loba Supra 2K AT Satin - would this product give any more of a "pure" color than the StreetShoe satin alone? I am aware of the Loba Invisible but don't care for the super-matte look. Bona NaturalSeal under the water based poly - would using this particular sealer help maintain the pure/unfinished color of the red oak better? Bona tells me it would (but they are biased!).Ģ. ![]() Does anyone have thoughts on the following:ġ. Our original plan was to stick to a sealer + 3 coats of StreetShoe NXT satin finish but through other posts I have seen a few other suggestions. ![]() My question is what finish is best to achieve this look with minimal yellowing of color (like pic below)? Ideally I would like not to see any yellow tones at all. We have begun the sanding process with a flooring professional and we really love the tone of the natural sanded wood however we prefer a satin finish to pure matte. I posted previously about how to achieve a certain color in our wood floors only to realize the photo was white oak and I have red oak throughout the house - so change of direction! ![]()
