When we say we're going to refinish a wood floor, what do we mean? Refinishing means to remove the existing finish to bare wood and then apply a new finish system. This is totally different from screen/pad and recoat, or abrading the existing finish without sanding to bare wood and applying a new top coating. Refinishing is most often associated with an older floor say 10, 20, 50 or so years old. NOFMA solid wood flooring is designed to last a lifetime and can be refinished a number of times. How many times a floor can be refinished will depend on the condition of the flooring, abuse to the flooring and how much of the thickness has previously been sanded from the floor.
