We bought a house with engineered oak hardwood floors that look to be 3mm thick. We're trying to determine if we can refinish them or if we just need to replace them, but we're not sure how to tell if they have am aluminum oxide finish. Is there a way to tell without knowing the manufacturer or any other related info?
Not so much, no. There's no test that you can do at home that can tell you if these engineered floors have an aluminum oxide finish or another type of modern finish. But unfortunately, chances are it's AO. Most engineered floors, especially those that aren't super expensive (so floors bought through THD and etc.) are AO.
