Hi There,
We recently added unfinished floors to two bedrooms in our house, and hired a local contractor to finish them for us. We asked him to match the existing floors in the house, which he said he did. Now he has completed the job, and the new floors look relatively darker then the existing floors. We asked our contractor about this, and he said when you add the stain, the floors get wet and as a result are darker. He said it takes about two months for the floors to fully dry out and lose the extra color. We have looked all over the internet and can't find anything that backs this up. Is this correct? The stain he used is a Bona Drifast Stain - Oil-Modified. The finish he used is Bona Mega - Waterborne Wood Floor Finish. Thanks for your help!
