We had our floo refinished a week ago. Turned off the radiant heat,we have a furnace also. But the company was sure how long before we should start it up.
Any thoughts?
Wood Floor, new varnish and radiant heat?

If the finish is not fully polymerized in a week, it will never be. Turn on the heat.

Depends on the product used. This info is not provided.
Myself ? I only apply 2 part Bona urethane...can drag a tank over it w/o scratching..for long term coating needed
Or alternately, nitrocellulose varnish with carnuba wax polished on ... if you want a coating one can take off later, I go with this. Its harder to coat the floor and maintain but it looks spectacular.

Ah, OP had someone else to the re-finishing and coating
I do all that work myself. A large orbital sander is what I rent, not the drum sander type. Takes longer but better for DIYer.
