Choose the Right Finish
All our floors are finished to the highest level to suit the type of surface. Choosing the right surface for your needs is an important factor in choosing your perfect floor. Each finish has distinctive characteristics and may need varying degrees of care and maintenance.
Lacquer
The top layer is spray coated with multiple coats of primer and then up to eight coats of durable UV cured lacquer.
- Finish: A smooth, hard wearing and low maintenance film formed surface which enhances the natural grain and beauty of the wood.
- Usage: Ideal for kitchens and dining rooms where there is high risk of food and drink spills.
- Care: Use a pH neutral spray cleaner for regular cleaning. Avoid scratches by minimising surface dust and grit. Use felt pads to protect from furniture. Remove any spillages quickly.
- Maintenance: After long term use can be lightly sanded to key the lacquered surface so that an extra coat of lacquer can then be applied.
Oil
Coats of oil are buffed into the top layer and and cured to form a protective natural surface.
- Finish: Oiled surfaces tend to be more matt in appearance but can also be buffed to produce a slight sheen.
- Usage: Perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. In kitchens and dining rooms regular maintenance is recommended.
- Care: Use a spray cleaner or a well wrung mop with pH neutral soap solution for regular cleaning. Avoid scratches by minimising surface dust and grit. Use felt pads to protect from furniture. Remove any spillages quickly.
- Maintenance: For high traffic areas Initial application of maintenance oil in the appropriate complementary colour after installation with periodic application thereafter which will depend on usage.
