After applying the final coat of protective finish, allow the floor to cure completely. While the surface may feel dry to the touch within hours, full cure time can range from 24 hours to several days or even weeks, depending on the product and environmental conditions (humidity, temperature). Avoid heavy foot traffic, furniture placement, or rug laying until the finish has fully hardened to prevent impressions or damage. Consult the finish manufacturer's instructions for specific cure times.
