Usage

This floor finish is ideal for a variety of wood flooring applications, including solid hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, and parquet installations. Whether you are refinishing an existing floor or applying a protective topcoat to a newly installed surface, the product’s water‑based composition allows for easy cleanup with soap and water, eliminating the need for harsh solvents. The gloss sheen is perfect for spaces where a polished, upscale appearance is desired, such as living rooms, dining areas, hallways, and commercial lobbies. The low‑odor formula makes it comfortable to use in occupied homes, reducing the need for extensive ventilation periods. For best results, the floor should be clean, dry, and free of previous finishes; a light sanding may be required to promote adhesion. The product can be applied with a brush, roller, or low‑viscosity applicator, and it is compatible with standard polyurethane tools.
