When
it comes to protecting your newly sanded
floor, it is important to put down enough
coats and the correct quality for the
floor’s usage. After the first coat
or two, any floor will look fine. However,
for example in a sitting room that has
just been given 2 coats of budget varnish,
the finish can break down within months.
That third coat can treble the life of
the floor in a medium to high traffic
area. It’s understandable that this
mistake of not applying a third coat can
occur, as it is at the end of a long job,
and the floor looks fine, but a professional
floor finisher working in his own house,would
never leave it at 2 coats. The third and/or
fourth coats also add an increased lustre
and depth to the floor’s appearance. |
| |
Manufacturers
usually recomend 1 litre of varnish per
10 square metres; we advise 2 coats for
light-traffic areas like bedrooms, 3 coats
for living and dining areas, and 4 coats
for kitchens and hallways. On the 3 and
4 coat systems, one of the coats can be
the economical seal prime coat, which
minimises grain-raising and which should
definitely go down first if you have laid
a new wood floor to prevent panellisation.
(However, if you are applying a 2-coat
system, both coats should be varnish). |

Seal,
prime, basic, pre-laq, barrier seal,
primer, blocking primer and other
terms, are all used to describe
a product that is designed to help
in various ways before the varnish
is applied. Seal in itself has no
real wear or scuff-resistance: it
is there to stop any problems which
may occur. Seal prevents grain-raising,
stops panellisation on newly laid
wood floors, adds depth and lustre
to the wood, helps retain the flexibility
of the hard varnish, and acts as
a barrier to protect against potential
problems with stains. |

- Strada is the budget contract,
acrylic-based varnish;
- Classic is the mid-range varnish
suitable for most applications;
- Elite is the top-of-the-range,
100% polyurethane, water-based varnish which enhances
all wood types, especially pine and oak, and is
very hard wearing.

To a
certain extent, choice of finish, i.e. matt,
satin or gloss, is a matter of personal taste,
but there are some other issues to be considered. |
 |
|
Gloss as a finish is not that popular as it
shows up any minor imperfections in the floor.
However, it is sometimes used effectively on
tropical/darker woods for a particular look.
Satin, which is between gloss and matt, is the
popular contemporary look. It has a sheen and
reflects some light, and is forgiving of the
odd minor imperfection. Matt, although a small
part of the market, gives a very natural waxed
look.
|
 |
|
In the 20th century, when
solvent-based polyurethanes were common, gloss
was harder wearing, because manufacturers used
additives to achieve a satin or matt look. However,
with our range of waterbased varnishes, there
is no difference in durability between matt,
satin and gloss finishes. |
