Stains and Finishes For Your Timber Floors

The common water-based finishes for floors are one pack polyurethane, making them easy to apply and quick drying. Interior wood floors can be coated in a single day.

Being hardwearing, these finishes are good for medium traffic areas where you want to highlight the the floor’s natural grain and colour.

If you plan to live or work in the building during the sanding and finishing, low odour, quick drying water-based finishes are a good choice.

The traditional oil-based finishes use a combination of synthetic resins with tung or linseed oil to achieve a durable finish for wooden floorboards of all floor polishing and finishes available.

Tough and durable, oil-based polyurethanes suit most types of timber and parquetry flooring in areas with heavy traffic. Available in a gloss or satin finish that enhances the timber’s natural grain, these finishes are also easy to maintain and repair.

Solvent based polyurethane finishes achieve a durable hard finish that may darken over time. Highly resistant to dents and scratches, they are the ideal choice for heavy traffic areas. These products do release a strong odour, making it preferable for residents to vacate the premises during and just after the application.
