American Cherry Refinish

American Cherry

Glitsa Bacca Sealer and Gold Seal - Lite Scent Topcoat.


 Breakfast Nook, Before & After

Before, 2-1/4 3/4" solid American Cherry Strip Floor.  The old water-based finished went milky white due to the high sun exposure.

Before, Showing sun bleach damage.  there was a POSSIBILITY the floor needed to be stained to bring up the colour..

After,  No stain was required.  Glitsa Bacca and Gold Seal did an excellent job of Bringing out the natural RICH colour of the Cherry.

These pictures show typical sun related damage that can appear where there is intense light such as patio doors or floor to ceiling windows.  One can see quite clearly the finish going a milky white and the wood itself bleaching from the sun.  The Glista finish did an excellent job of restoring and enhancing the natural cherry colour.  


Kitchen, Before & After

Before, Old finish worn through

Sanded,  Old Finish sanded off, ground in dirt removed, ready for sealer.

After, Coating applied. Bacca Sealer & Gold Seal Lite Scent - Satin

This floor required a fair amount of sanding to correct the poor sanding job that was done previously,  There where sanding defects that could be seen clear across the room.


Living Room, Before & After

Before,Unknown Water-Based Finished.  Which never highlighted the natural beauty of the Cherry.

Sanded, Bare wood, the detail at the rock fireplace all had to be hand scraped and sanded to finish tight to the MORTAR.
