Wood Floor Lacquers

Read More

Wood floor lacquers are essential for achieving a durable, protective, and beautiful finish on your wood floors. These lacquers are designed to enhance the natural beauty of the wood while providing a tough, resistant layer that guards against wear, scratches, and spills. Whether for residential or commercial applications, using the right lacquer ensures your wood floors maintain their elegance and longevity.

Types of Wood Floor Lacquers

  • Water-Based Lacquers: These lacquers are environmentally friendly, low in odour, and dry quickly. They provide a clear, non-yellowing finish that preserves the natural look of the wood.
  • Solvent-Based Lacquers: Known for their robust durability and resistance to heavy traffic, solvent-based lacquers offer a rich finish but have higher VOC content.
  • Polyurethane Lacquers: Available in both water-based and solvent-based formulations, these lacquers are renowned for their exceptional hardness and durability.
  • UV-Cured Lacquers: These are cured using ultraviolet light, providing an extremely hard and durable finish that is ideal for commercial and high-traffic areas.

Benefits of Using Wood Floor Lacquers

  • Enhanced Durability: Protects against scratches, scuffs, and daily wear and tear.
  • Improved Appearance: Enhances the natural beauty of the wood with a variety of finish options, from matte to high gloss.
  • Moisture Resistance: Provides a barrier against spills and moisture, helping to prevent damage and staining.
  • Easy Maintenance: Makes cleaning and maintaining wood floors simpler, ensuring they look great for years to come.
  • UV Protection: Some lacquers offer UV protection, reducing the effects of sun exposure and preventing discolouration.

Application Tips

  • Preparation: Ensure the floor is clean, dry, and free of dust and debris before applying the lacquer.
  • Application: Use a high-quality brush or roller for even application. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying times between coats.
  • Ventilation: Proper ventilation is important, especially when using solvent-based lacquers, to ensure safety and effective drying.
  • Multiple Coats: Applying multiple coats will enhance durability and provide a smoother finish.
