Wood Floor Sealing

Wood floor sealing

Wood floor sealing in London is the final step in your wood floor renovation project. Once the floor’s surface is completely smooth and free of imperfections after sanding and buffing, with all gaps filled and boards fixed, the floor is ready for sealing. The sealing or refinishing process preserves all the beauty and achievements made during the renovation by applying the right finishing product.

Sealing your wood floor is essential. The finishing product applied on top of your floor acts as a hard-wearing and lasting barrier between the wood and its environment. This barrier not only enhances the floor’s appearance but also provides extra protection and preserves the wood’s colour and texture. Penetrating finishes, such as oil and hard wax oil, offer additional protection from within by being absorbed by the porous structure of the wood.

High-Quality Sealing Products

We use only the highest quality sealing and finishing products from leading brands worldwide, regardless of the finish you choose for your beloved wooden floor. Our range of products includes water-based single- and two-component lacquers for both residential and commercial projects, as well as the latest ranges of natural lacquers, eco-friendly oils, and hard wax finishes.

The choice of wood floor finishes is extensive, allowing you to achieve different effects and levels of protection. Classic options like lacquer provide a formal look with a high-gloss finish and extremely durable protection. Natural oils and hard waxes enhance the wood’s natural beauty without altering its colour and texture, while also offering penetrative protection.

Popular Types of Wood Floor Finishes

Lacquer Finish

A lacquer finish creates a strong, hard protective layer on the floor's surface, preserving its natural colour and texture. Lacquer repels water and dirt, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. The classic high-gloss finish reflects light and can make spaces appear larger. However, lacquer finishes require high maintenance as they do not camouflage surface imperfections like scratches or dirt.

Oil Finish

Oil finishes, consisting mainly of natural oils, are an eco-friendly and safe choice for households. They enhance the wood’s natural colour and texture, soaking into the wood for protection from within. However, oil finishes require regular upkeep, needing more frequent re-oiling compared to lacquer finishes.

Hardwax Finish

Hardwax finishes combine natural oils with wax, allowing for colour changes that better fit your interior. These finishes enhance the wood’s natural beauty, are easy to apply, and dry quickly, making the floor usable within hours to a couple of days.
