There are many different types of finished that can be applied to hardwood floors. Some finishes are extremely toxic, i.e. Glitsa or Moisture Cure. Other finishes such as penetrating oil or wax finishes require the homeowner to apply maintenance coats annually. With this in mind we recommend oil or water based polyurethanes. With the water-based finishes being low in vocs and high in durability, we believe they are your best choice. Maintenance coats are typically recommended every 5-10 years making them almost maintenance free.
