Hi all:

I have just had new red oak flooring put in.
How many coats of polyurethane on average is reasonable, and what exactly is gained by adding additional?

Thanks for any replies!

Depends...

Oil or water based???


Oil 2 coats

water based 2-5 coats depending on the depth you wish to acheive. More then 2 coats, usually cost more. If you want more then 2 coats, expect an upcharge, if you are hiring it out.
