Modernizing Elegance in the Flatiron District
R.P. reached out to Wood Flooring Masters looking for a clean, modern refresh for their 1,250 sq ft residence in the Flatiron District of Manhattan. The goal wasn’t a full sanding but rather a smart restoration to remove old wax buildup and give the floors a uniform matte look—without disturbing the home’s daily flow.
Breathing Life into Dull Floors
Our team began by thoroughly removing approximately 95% of the existing wax layer that had dulled the floor’s original charm. Once stripped, we performed a detailed buffing process over the entire space to prep the surface and ensure optimal adhesion for the new protective layer.

A Sleek, Low-Sheen Finish
To complete the transformation, we applied one coat of water-based polyurethane in Bona Traffic Matte. This finish was specially chosen for its subtle sheen and industry-leading durability—perfect for a high-traffic urban apartment. The result was a refreshed and resilient floor with a clean, contemporary matte appearance that matched the Flatiron District’s upscale aesthetic.
