Q: I just had my red/white oak hardwood floors stained with 2 coats of ebony/dark walnut. They are a really nice, dark, rick color. My floor guy uses Masterline poly in a satin finish. I am wanting little to no shine. I cannot find much information on this product. Is this a good product to use on really dark floors? Will there be any shine to their satin?
A: A satin is a low luster. Perhaps you really want matte which is zero shine. Who manufactures the product isn’t really that relevant to this issue.
