Making the Grade | Finish
Finish Your choice of finish will affect the overall sheen, durability and maintenance.
Unfinished These are completely natural, with no stain, lacquer, oil or other finishes applied to them, allowing you to be the artist.It’s up to you to finish how you wish. Unfinished timber can include different grades of character so all you have to do is re-sand the surface once installed and create using the blank canvas. Lacquered This is normally a polyurethane coating that covers the pores of the wood and forms a hard, resilient surface, protecting it from dirt and moisture ingress. A good quality lacquer will protect a wooden floor for anything from 12 months to 6 years, depending upon the amount of foot traffic.

Oiled Oil penetrates deep into the wood and brings out the true beauty of both the colour and grain, as well as providing protection for the floor. In addition to providing a natural look, oiled floors lend themselves to being spot repaired in the event of surface damage.
Oiled
UV Oil Combining the wear advantages of a lacquer with the subtlety of oil, this finish is micro-porous, water-repellent, dirt, wear, and stain-resistant against wine, beer, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juices and milk. It will not crack, flake, peel or blister.
