great no matter the time of year.... and i would use a pre finished if i had kids or dogs. the aluminumoxid finish is harder than polly and will tend to last linger but is is much harder to recoat in a few years as well. with polly you refinish or buff and coat depending. with pre finished you sand to virgin wood or reinstall.. it depends on youre use of the floors

have missed was i only use Bona Kimi ... dryfast hardwood sealer then buff to 22o grit and then 2 coats on bone high gloss. you can order it from Horizion forest products of raleigh nc

products. ank thank you all
