What it is

Residual dust is fine dust that remains on the floor, walls, trim, or in the air after sanding or surface prep.

Signs

  • Dust clouds during or after sanding
  • Fine dust settling back onto the floor
  • Specks trapped in finish
  • Rough texture after the coating dries

How ReCoat handles it

ReCoat uses dust-control procedures, vacuuming, and wipe-downs before stain, sealer, or finish is applied. Clean prep is especially important before any coating step.

Why it matters

Dust is small, but it can make a finished floor look and feel rough. Removing it before coating protects the final appearance.
