We asked our readers on the WFB Facebook and Instagram pages how they create white wood floors. Here are some of their responses:
Patrick J. Russell
Vesting LED Ultra White.
Glenn Harris
Bleach three times, DuraSeal Country White stain, then four coats of non-yellowing water-base.
Tyler Westgate
Bona SuperSport paint white 60/40 in IntenseSeal with two coats of Mega One on vertical grain fir—she was going for that cottage look, so basically solid white.
Chris Bailey
Bleach and hardwax oil.
Nash Maxwell
Berger-Seidle's Pearl White.
Eric Herman
Red oak, two coats of Bona Red Out, two coats of Country White, one coat of Mega One, and three coats of Traffic.

It depends on the white; this was our most recent. It was finished in three coats of Saicos colorless lacquer with a white additive.

I charge more for white. This is 50/50 Bona white/neutral.
Paul Wilke
One coat of Bona NaturalSeal, one coat of NordicSeal, two coats of Traffic HD.
Kurt Gordon
Rift-and-quartered white oak bleached, with Bona NordicSeal, and water-popped and Country White stain with Bona Traffic.
Matty Sjerp
Berger-Seidle Express Stain in Country White, Berger-Seidle NordicWhite for the first and second coat, then Berger-Seidle CeramicStar for the final protection coat.
Pat Goodman
Loba PreTone and white hardwax oil, or tinted finish over stain. Here's a tinted and textured ash floor we did.
Justin Boone
Water-pop, and your choice of hardwax oil or stain.
Ryan David Zahn
Bona Red Out with DriFast white stain on red oak.
