We are often asked what makes our Touch-Up Systems for Floors better than the competition. We designed our Touch-Up System to be compatible with wood and engineered flooring, including UV Cure Finished floors and laminates. Our competitor’s products are often incompatible with the various types of flooring available, so while they may be good for one type, they are usually less effective on others. Our Touch-Up Systems for Floors offer you multiple shades in one package and need no drying time in order to finish. Our competitor’s products offer fewer shades (and more SKUs to make up for this deficiency) and usually must be allowed to dry and sanded before they can be finished.
