Eco-Friendly Hardwood Sanding and Finishing
Breathe Easy with Woca, Rubio Monocoat, and Vermister
Your home is your sanctuary. But traditional hardwood refinishing methods fill the air with toxic chemicals and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can linger for weeks. Eco-friendly refinishing eliminates these risks while preserving the beauty and durability of your hardwood floors.
We use green-certified, non-toxic finishes from leading brands:
- Rubio Monocoat – A revolutionary, single-layer oil finish that enhances wood’s natural beauty while providing exceptional durability and water resistance.
- Woca Denmark – A plant-based, environmentally responsible oil that nourishes wood fibers without releasing harmful chemicals.
- Vermister – A sustainable wood finish that delivers rich color, superior protection, and zero environmental impact.
Dust-Free Sanding with Loba
A Cleaner Refinishing Process That Protects Your Home
Sanding hardwood floors has long been associated with endless dust, cleanup, and air pollution. Even with traditional dust bags, fine particles settle into furniture, air vents, and every surface of your home.
At New York City Wood Floors, we use state-of-the-art dustless sanding systems featuring Loba’s advanced dust containment technology.
How Dust-Free Sanding Works
- Encapsulated sanding process – All dust is captured at the source, keeping your home spotless.
- Advanced filtration systems – High-powered vacuums remove 99% of airborne dust before it spreads.
- Sealed entrances – We use 3M protective plastics and surface tapes to prevent dust from escaping the work area.
Why Choose Dust-Free Sanding?
- Minimal cleanup – No more dust-covered furniture and days of vacuuming.
- Healthier air quality – Eliminates airborne particles that can trigger allergies and asthma.
- Flawless finish – Prevents dust contamination in the stain and sealing process.
No sanding method is 100% dust-free, but our Loba-powered system captures nearly all airborne particles, ensuring the cleanest refinishing experience possible. Click to see more about Dustless Sanding Options.
Low-VOC Sanding and Finishing
Loba and Ciranova: The Gold Standard in Non-Toxic Floor Finishes
Traditional stains and finishes contain high levels of VOCs, which release toxic fumes into your home. These chemicals can cause eye irritation, headaches, and long-term respiratory issues.
Our low-VOC sanding and finishing process eliminates these risks while delivering high-performance, durable results. We use industry-leading products from Loba and Ciranova, trusted by professionals worldwide for their safe, eco-conscious formulations.
- Loba – A low-VOC, water-based finish that provides exceptional durability, scratch resistance, and a crystal-clear appearance.
- Ciranova – A high-quality, low-VOC oil and stain system that enhances the natural beauty of wood while maintaining indoor air quality.
Benefits of Low-VOC Finishes
- No strong odors – No need to vacate your home during refinishing.
- Faster drying time – Walk on your floors sooner, with drying times as fast as 4–24 hours depending on the product.
- Safer indoor environment – Protects your family and pets from harmful chemical exposure.
Why Low-VOC Matters
If you’ve ever had your floors refinished with traditional oil-based stains, you know the harsh fumes can linger for days. These fumes are toxic, requiring homeowners to leave their homes for 48 to 72 hours.
With our low-VOC refinishing solutions, you get the same high-end results—without the chemical hazards.
What You Need to Know About the Process
Before refinishing your floors, proper preparation is essential. Here’s what to expect:
- Furniture & Personal Items – All furniture, wall art, and personal belongings must be removed from the work area.
- Vacating the Home – While dust-free and low-VOC refinishing reduces health risks, we recommend vacating the premises for optimal results.
- Encapsulation – Entrances to other rooms will be sealed with protective barriers to contain dust.
- Drying Time – Water-based finishes dry in 4–6 hours, while oil-based finishes may take 12–24 hours before light foot traffic is allowed.
Hardwood floors are an investment—protect them with a refinishing process that enhances both beauty and longevity.

What You Need to Know About the Process
The furniture in the areas where the work will be preformed will have to be removed. Wall art and all personal items in the work area should be removed as well. This type of project is usually done while the house is vacant. We highly recommend you make arrangements vacate the premises. In residential projects, if you decide to stay in the residence and only want to refinish a few rooms, it is possible. This is because at New York City Wood Floors, we specialize in low and zero VOC products. This is different from most wood flooring contractor as they use chemicals when staining floors that expel hazardous material into the air and strong, unpleasant, odors. To read more about the dangers of VOC to your family and pets, click here.
Be mindful that this is an extremely large undertaking that involves dust. We will encapsulate entrances that lead to other areas with delicate surface tapes and 3M protective plastics , that way the fine dust will be kept in the spaces that work is to be preformed in. We also offer state of the art dustless wood floor refinishing systems. Using a dustless system eliminates the majority of dust created — but it does not mean that it will eliminate dust completely. No project can be 100% dust-free when sanding wood floors. But after our state of the art sanding process that surpasses industry standards concludes, all walls and areas in the work space will be blown and vacuumed thoroughly before we apply any product. This is an essential part of the process to have quality results.
If you desire to have your floors stained with traditional stains, the fumes are extremely toxic and force our team to use masks that filter those chemicals. Your family, your pets, and yourself have to be off the premise for at least 48 hours after the stain is applied. Prepare to make arrangements to sleep outside the residence for 48 to 72 hours depending on the size of your project. The fumes from traditional stains are hazardous to humans, and your pets.
For this reason, we strongly recommend using our low and zero VOC wood floor refinishing systems. We offer several green friendly wood floor refinishing packages.
