ECO-FRIENDLY COLOR OILColor Oil Finishes for Hardwood Floors in Long Island

Bring out the natural beauty of your hardwood floors with color oils — a modern, eco-friendly alternative to traditional stains and polyurethane finishes. At Dream Floors, we specialize in applying high-quality color oils that penetrate deep into the wood, enhancing its texture, grain, and warmth while offering long-lasting protection.

What Are Color Oils?

Color oils are natural oil-based finishes infused with pigments that add subtle or bold color to hardwood floors. Unlike surface finishes that sit on top, oils penetrate into the wood fibers, highlighting the natural grain and leaving a smooth, matte look that feels warm and organic underfoot.
