Lightspeed® Nano is our own proprietary, patented polyurethane wood finish. We feature it on all our cabinet and floor refinishing projects because it is superior to any other urethane on the market and makes wood refinishing faster, and less disruptive to your family, pets, and home.
With Lightspeed® Nano, the process of refinishing your cabinets and hardwood floors, is fast and creates no harmful fumes because it is water-based and dries very quickly. But don’t let the fact that it’s water-based concern you. Our Lightspeed® Nano contains a unique catalyst that allows us to instantly cure and harden the finish with UV light making Lightspeed® Nano an average of four times harder and more scratch resistant than other urethane finishes on the market today. With the convenience of a water-based finish, we can apply several even coats in one day versus traditional urethanes that can take days to dry in between coats and can take weeks to fully cure, all the while you are smelling those nasty fumes.
With Lightspeed® Nano, most jobs can be completed in half the time as traditional refinishing, sometimes in as little as one day. The powerful ultraviolet (UV) light curing process provides a professional and durable, factory-like finish.

Until now, refinishing cabinets and hardwood floors meant having a crew in your home for 3-4 days, with lots of harmful odors, followed by another 3-4 days of “dry” and “cure” times before you can move furniture back on your floors and resume your normal activities. The Lightspeed® Nano process changes all that. Our goal is to give you durable, beautifully refinished cabinets and hardwood floors with minimal disruption.

What industries use U.V. curing technology?
From the space station to the medical field to manufacturing to the food we consume, UV light technology has revolutionized our world. Manufacturing industries use UV light when curing various paint, ink, and finishes to increase efficiency and quality. Processes that would normally take hours to finish can be done in a fraction of the time with UV light. N-Hance of Columbus capitalizes on UV light technology and passes the benefits on to you.
