Wood Finish Options – Oil
For an oil finish we use two applications of hard wax oil on your wooden floor. This delivers a beautiful natural finish that is also moisture and dirt resistant. Be aware that it will take at least 4 hours for the floor to cure enough to allow light foot traffic.
Wood Finish Options – Lacquer
For a lacquered finish, primer is applied to the sanded floor followed by one coat of water-based lacquer. Once the first coat has cured, the floor will be prepared for a further 2 coats of lacquer. Be aware that it can take up to 8 hours for the floor to cure enough to allow light foot traffic.
Furniture can be moved back 24 hours after foot traffic has begun. Always avoid dragging furniture on a freshly oiled or lacquered floor surface. Curing and drying time also depends on weather conditions and air flow.
