Coatings And Finishes

We offer all types of coatings and finishes, each specially designed for timber floor polishing. All coatings and finishes have a number of different properties to consider:

• Durability – Hard soled footwear, combined with high grit levels, will abrade even the toughest coating quickly – and indentation and/or scratching can occur if objects are dropped, dragged or moved across a timber floor. If durability is a necessity, Polyurethane and two pack water based coatings offer excellent toughness.
• Flexibility – Abnormal movement in a timber floor may result in splitting, clumping, and delamination at the edges when high-strength coatings are used. Abnormal movement will occur if the flooring is structurally faulty, has been incorrectly acclimatised, or is subject to significant temperature or humidity variation. Timber floors can also expand and contract with moisture content changes due to changes in heat, humidity and ventilation. Waxed and oiled floors cope well with floors that require extra flexibility.
• Appearance – Polyurethane leaves a thick plastic film which yellows with time. For those who find this unappealing, oil, wax and new ultra-matte water-based finishes leave a grainier natural look which is now preferred by most people. These quality water-based coatings are also non-yellowing.
• Toxicity – Polyurethane and traditional oil and wax finishes are toxic during application and continue to outgas for some time after application. Pregnant women, young children and the highly sensitive should vacate the flooring work site for at least seven days after completion. Water-based coatings are a better choice where floors need to be used immediately after completion.
