Moisture Cured Polyurethane
Moisture cured polyurethane is the most common product used by most floor sanding companies. It is hard wearing and more resistant to scratches and dents.
Water-Borne Polyurethane
Water borne polyurethane has more of a natural finish where it enhances the wood . Although this has a much more natural appearance and almost no smell it does not have the durability or longevity of the moisture cured finish.

Satin

Gloss
Gloss is an attractive finish however needs more care than a satin or lo sheen finish.
Oiling
A natural look that enhances the floor but does require more upkeep than polyurethane.
