    I'm getting quite a few requests for re-coating water-based lacquered floors lately, and would like to hear the views of others regarding the procedure they use and what cleaning fluids plus types of screen they recommend.

    The only
    The only manufacturer I have heard of who is offing a warranty on products is Pallmann, and they have a policy which insists on you attending their 'parketproffi' course on an annual basis. I have completed their course once, but have decided not to continue as you will find that the guarantees given by most flooring companies are usually worthless once you have carefully examined the small print in their Terms & Conditions. You will be the one returning to do any remedial work at your own expense, as labour costs will not be covered.

    Thanks for your explanation, we use a P120 screen or a black pad on the buffer and find this sufficient to create a key for the next coat.

    Some of the floors we recoat are done two coats every year so we can be more aggressive and use the 80.

    I take it that you don't use an intensive alkaline based deep-cleaning solution to remove stubborn soiling and organic residue. This would surely be recommended - especially if the room was also used for dining to remove fatty food spillage?
