We prefer to use Water Based – non-toxic finishes Let us talk to you about our range of products and explain the difference between water and solvent based finishes.
What we recommend ? Water Based finishes – non toxic!
Are classified as non-toxic, with a solvent content of less than 10%. They provide excellent wear resistance without toxic fumes. Water based finishes are also faster drying and non-yellowing, so there is absolutely no reason to use a toxic solvent-based finish.
Polyurethanes
The most common and hardest wearing timber floor coating finishes are made of a plastic film called polyurethane – of which there are 3 main types : Waterbased polyurethane ( we recommend ) , solvent based and oil modified
Waterbased polyurethane
- Non toxic / very low VOC / Isocyanate free
- Meets green Building Council of Australia standards
- Non yellowing
- Very good edge bonding resistance.
- Lighter / more natural appearance
Solvent based polyurethane
- Strong solvent smell on application and they are also of highest toxicity (isocyanate content)
- Yellowing (aromatic)
- Poor edge bonding resistance.
- Thick plastic appearance
Oil Modified Urethanes
- Medium smell / Isocyanate free
- Good edge bonding resistance
- Intermediate durability
- Darkens on ageing / traditional oil appearance
Penetrating Oils and Waxes
- Blend of natural oils and waxes
- Non toxic / very low VOC
- Meets green Building Council of Australia standards
- Darken significantly on ageing
Specialised Coatings
Bona Traffic HD
Bona Traffic HD is a waterborne 2 component top coat designed for use in public areas subject to very high levels of traffic. Traffic HD offers fantastic scratch, scuff and chemical resistance combined with a significantly higher wear resistance.
Add to this a 40% lowering of the solvent content and early development of all of the performance factors which means that after 24 hours Traffic HD is already able to be put back into full use.
Bona Naturale
The next generation of timber floor protection features the look and feel of pure wood.
This is a system which allows you to feel the texture of the timber whilst barely changing the look of the surface. Engineered without a traditional matting system Bona Naturale has a sheen level of only 6%.
Walking on to a Naturale floor you can’t see the protective coating only what appears to be a raw unfinished timber floor and yet Naturale has a resistance to wear designed for commercial environments. Not only can you see the natural appearance of the wood but the surface feels like wood under your feet.
Naturale is a unique Bona development made predominantly from renewable resources, no mineral oil or polymer, and contains oils, high quality PU and haptic creators.

Tung oil
Many customers these days are asking for their floors to be finished with a ‘Tung Oil’ finish. The reason is often because they want to avoid the thick ‘plastic’ look of a solvent based polyurethane finish and prefer the more natural appearance of Oil. What they often do not realise is that on their own, this type of finish does not wear very well. No matter what brand, a Tung Oil finish should be maintained with a sacrificial polish to provide good wear resistance in high traffic areas. This immediately creates an ongoing maintenance program for the customer. The use of a polish also makes re-coating in the future very difficult
Oil Modified Urethanes
These spirit based coatings combine an oil with a smaller amount of a urethane and have a more traditional oiled floor appearance.
Isocyanate free, have good edge bonding resistance, intermediate durability. And darken considerably with time
Unlike tung oil, they do not need to be constantly protected with a sacrificial wax or polish which builds up over time and needs to be stripped before recoating.
Urethane coatings – modified oil
A resin modified Oil, providing improved durability over alternative oil finishes, suitable for interior coating of all timber species. Ideal for coating New Timber Floors suspected of being prone to shrinkage. Especially suitable for clients concerned of fumes from Polyurethane as only low VOC white spirits is used as the solvent.
