Product Information

Wax can be used on timber floors without sealing them. In this case a solvent-based wax is better, rubbing well into the grain and buffed with an electric polisher. The wax can be mixed with a little white spirit for the first coat, and rubbed into the grain further and more easily. The buffing helps the wax get further into the pores and also hardens the surface to give it a lasting finish.

Overall, water-based sealants offer a great option for those looking for an affordable way to protect their floors from everyday wear and tear while still being able to maintain its natural beauty. With proper preparation beforehand, you can ensure that your new floor will look great for years down the road. If the floor has been sealed with water based seal, then only water based waxes should be used. If you use a solvent on a water-based seal it may damage it. If the seal is solvent based, the wax is a matter of personal preference. No matter which type you choose, make sure to follow all instructions carefully when applying it to ensure optimal results. Start by cleaning your floors thoroughly before applying any product; this will help remove dirt and debris that could interfere with adhesion later on down the line. Once clean, apply an even layer using either a brush or roller depending on what is recommended by manufacturer guidelines and let each coat dry completely before adding another. Finally, if necessary (depending on product), buff out excess material after application is complete for best results. Applying the sealant is an important step in protecting your flooring from water damage and wear. Before you begin, make sure to read all of the instructions on the product label and gather any necessary tools.

Parquet Glazer VP500

This type of finish will last up to 10 or more years with good care, and you can touch it up as needed. It dries clear in a few hours, so you can put on multiple coats in one day. Although it’s not as durable as oil-based options, it has low VOCs. That makes it a better choice for the basement or other rooms with minimal ventilation. 4. Best Hardwood Floor Finish for High-Traffic: Oil-Based Polyurethane Overall though, the timber will remain “soft” if treated with oil and it is not recommended for areas with high foot traffic. Oils generally will harden the surface fibres of the timber and will improve the durability of the floor, sinking quite deep, comparatively, into the grain protecting the timber and enhancing, although slightly darkening, the grain. If this method is adopted, once the surface of the solvent based wax is buffed and hard, it is preferable to give regular maintenance using a solvent based liquid wax. This spreads more easily and leaves a thinner film. This should also be buffed hard with each, dry application.

Oils for Timber Floors

If there are any scratches or imperfections in your floor, sand them down using fine-grit sandpaper until they are smooth again. Make sure to vacuum up all of the dust afterwards so that it doesn’t interfere with the sealant later on. You will need a paintbrush or roller for applying the sealant, as well as rags for cleaning up spills or drips. You should also wear protective gloves and safety glasses while working with chemicals. Oil-based sealer products are the option for people who are a little more concerned with appearances. Oil-based finishes bring out the grain of the wood by darkening it and providing a high level of shine. When you see wood that is so shiny that it reflects the sunlight, you are probably looking at an oil-based finish. Buying A Sealer For Outdoor Use Polyurethane-based sealants are a popular choice for flooring due to their durability and long-lasting protection. They provide excellent waterproofing, making them ideal for areas that may be exposed to moisture or humidity. Polyurethane sealants also have good resistance to abrasion and chemicals, which makes them suitable for use in high traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Once your surface is clean and bare, you should lay down some plastic to protect the surrounding area from the overspray. No matter how careful you are, there will be some overspray, so make sure you cover any nearby plants that you like.
