Urethane is also used in countertops, sinks, shampoos, shoe soles, electrical and plumbing parts, and roof shingles. But what you may not realize is that urethane is also a key component of many types of flooring, both commercial and residential. And there's no reason it shouldn't be in your home, as well.

Avoid concrete over which heavy spills occur. For concrete floors, you should apply either oil-based or water-based  stain concrete floor  stain.
