Wooden Floor Sealing & Varnishing

Varnish or Lacquer

More durable than oil sealants, and easier to maintain, these products are typically used for mid to heavy traffic areas.

Modern lacquers (Bona and Junckers) no longer produce the ‘plastic’ look of old and offer a silky sheen in a matt, satin or high gloss finish.

Our recommended finish would be a polyurethane lacquer – highly resistant to wear but which may create some discoloration to the floor beneath.

As it is not a natural material, it can restrict the breath ability of your wooden floor.

For areas experiencing lighter usage, a part polyurethane/part acrylic floor sanding and varnishing  might be preferable. This will not yellow or darken the wood in any way.

For lacquered/varnished floors, we would always recommend three applications

They dry within 1-3 hours and fully cure in 12-72 hours.
