Oils and Lacquers
Wood floor oils and lacquers are used to protect, preserve and enhance the beauty of your wood flooring. They create a protective barrier beetween the wood and anything that comes into contact with it.
Choosing the right products to finish your floors is vastly important as both offer different advantages and require different level of maintenance.
Advantages of lacquer finish:
- Floors are easier to care for and do not require frequent re-treatment.
- Lacquer finish offers better protection level in areas exposed to heavy foot traffic.
- Lacquer creates a shiny finish so it perfect for those who would like a gloss or high gloss effect.
- Lacquer creates a barrier on top of the wood without penetrating its surface giving it more protection against spills than oil finish.
Advantages of oil finish:
- Creates a classic natural wood look.
- Wood colour deepens and enhances over the years.
- Oil deeply penetrates the wood providing more than just a surface protection.
- Scuffs and scratches are less visible than on a lacquered floor.
- Oiled flooring can be spot repaired.
