If your cork flooring has become dull from normal wear and tear, it can be re-finished with two coats of polyurethane.Instructions from Nova Cork here: FINISH AND FINISHING Your floor comes with a factory water based polyurethane finish. Nova Distinctive Floors recommends putting 2-3 additional coats of Bona Kemi Traffic or AFM Safecoat Polyureseal BP polyurethane in order to seal the seams to prevent any water penetration. Please keep in mind that all natural products are recommended to have a UV finish to protect the product from fading. Use 220 grit or finer sand paper using a random orbital or hand sander to lightly abrade the finish. Problem areas must be abraded sufficiently in order to completely remove the imperfections in the polyurethane. DO NOT sand the polyurethane down to the raw cork.It is the installer's responsibility for verifying the usage of the proper grit sand paper and other tools to ensure the finish is not scratched, gouged, or otherwise damaged during the abrading process. After the floor has been swept and cleaned and dried, apply water-based polyurethane on the abraded area.
