Types of wood finishes
A protective layering is vital to protect your project surface against water and environmental damage.
Two of the most popular finishing varnishes are oil and polyurethane. A varnish basically protects the wood surface from day to day wear.
Solid and engineered woods can use either finishing application.
Polyurethane Finish
Polyurethane finishes produce a beautiful, natural luster to the colour of wood.
Water based polyurethane is recommended as it is non-toxic and nonflammable making it great for homes with pets and small children.
Water based polyurethane is our eco-friendly option, it produces less fumes and has an array of sheen levels to choose from.
Solvent based polyurethane is available on request. Please talk to one of our friendly experts in store to see which finish is right for you.
Oil Finish
Oils penetrate and harden the wood surface while drying quickly.
Easy spot and scratch repair and low maintenance.
Application is simple requiring only a buffer or roller.
Usually no sanding of the floor is required.
