Wooden floors are unquestionably beautiful and they’re a very popular choice for flooring surfaces, both in commercial and domestic environments. Installing a wooden floor in a home will need different considerations from one in a busy environment, such as a pub or restaurant, however. For general domestic and public use, Rust-Oleum's chalky finish floor paint works well on wood, concrete and other previously painted surfaces.
Polyurethane Wooden Floor Finishes
Blackfriar Polyurethane Floor Varnish is one of our attractive and durable floor coverings. It’s a clear floor varnish for use on most floor surfaces, including plywood, hardboard, chipboard and cement. It works by sealing the floor against any dirt and, once dry, is very easy to keep clean. It’s a good low-maintenance option and is extremely tough.
A solvent-based solution, Mathys Plasti-Parket is perfect for protecting wooden stairs and parquet floors, so it’s a good option for any high-quality home transformation. You’ll need at least two coats but it’s very easy to use and offers long lasting resistance against abrasive damage on your floor surface.
Coo-Var P101 is also a clear polyurethane coating for wooden floors inside and outside. Coo-Var varnish is ideal for wooden floors that have a lot of wear, so it’s great for dance studios, gymnasiums, bar tops, dance floors and sports courts. It can also be used over compatible paints to provide a glaze finish over a colour.
Another option for a quick drying, water-borne polyurethane clear floor varnish is Jotun Trestjerne Parkettlakk. This is best used on wooden laminate and parquet floors so it’s an excellent product if you’re looking to make your wooden floors look great for the long-term. It also contains a UV-filter which protects the parquet or laminate against discolouring. It’s not appropriate for solid wooden floors but if you’re unsure of the best choice then please contact our Technical Team for advice.
Quick Drying Floor Finishes
If you’re sprucing up a floor that needs to dry fast, then try Blackfriar Quick Drying Floor Varnish. Its specialist formula only takes an hour to dry, but offers scratch resistant and hard-wearing floor protection. It’s possible to revamp your floors in just a single day using quick dry floor varnish.
Floor Oil Finishes
Timberex Free is made from natural oils and resins which are designed to penetrate deep inside the wood. It protects the flooring from within and works as a floor sealant. It’s great for commercial use, and works well on large expanses of flooring. Timberex oil gives a deep satin sheen finish and brings out any grain patterns in the wood. If you prefer a high gloss sheen, it can be buffed easily.
Timberex has a wide range of wooden floor oils, including Timberex Natural and Timberex Gold. We also stock various Timberex wooden floor surface maintenance products, including Satin Oil and Satin Oil Gold Mousse. Both products are designed for easy maintenance of wood floor surfaces that have been treated with other Timberex products. The floor oil mousse helps to remove marks and spruce up the surface for a long-lasting finish.
Floor Stains
If you’re looking to make a design statement and want a range of fashionable grey shades for your oak wood floor, try Timberex Active Stain. There’s a range of greys to choose from and they all stain deep into the wood to provide a long-lasting finish. You only need to apply Active Stain once and then use a topcoat to finish off.
For those who’d rather retain the natural ‘wood’ look, Timberex Aqua is a range of water-based stains that also penetrate deep into the surface and protect against stains and traffic. There are seven main colours in the range but they can be mixed to create a range of looks.
Coloured Coatings for Floors
Timberex Coloured is made from natural resins and oils, as well as colouring agents. These all penetrate the wooden floor deep down and form a water resistant protective surface. There are ten colours in the range, each one designed to enhance the appearance of the wood.
