I am planning to refinish my hardwood floor at home. One of the contractors said he is going to use water-base polyurethane for the finish coating. I heard somewhere that oil-base coating is much better than water-base urethane. And water-base ployurethane tends to be more toxic and could trigger allegric reaction. Is it true? I don't want to get my kids sick. I don't know whether I should ask the contract to use oil-base coating for the finish. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
