How Our Wood Is Finished — And Why It Matters
The way your wood is finished plays a major role in its appearance, durability, and maintenance needs, understanding the finish is essential to making the right decision for your space.
-
Natural Oils & Hardwax Finishes:
Eco-friendly and breathable, these finishes enhance the natural look while offering strong protection against stains and wear.
-
Lacquers & UV Oils:
Applied for a more resilient, low-maintenance surface and ideal for higher traffic environments.
-
Colour Treatments & Fuming:
Techniques like fuming, smoking, or staining are used to darken, age or colour the wood naturally without masking the grain. These processes encourage variation and accentuate the natural beauty of the wood.
-
Unfinished:
Floors supplied without any finish, allowing you to select a finish to be applied once laid and sanded within your project.
Why It’s Important to Know Your Finish
Durability & Wear Resistance: Some finishes handle foot traffic, pets, and spills better than others. Knowing your finish helps you choose what's right for your lifestyle.
Maintenance Needs: Different finishes require different levels of care — from simple sweeping to periodic oil treatments.
Visual Style: The finish affects color, texture, and sheen. A matte oil finish will look and feel very different from a glossy lacquer.
Repair & Refinishing Options: Some finishes are easier to spot-repair or recoat over time, which can extend the life of your floor or surface.
Choosing the Right Finish
We’ll help guide you based on your style, usage, and long-term goals. Whether you want a silky smooth surface or a rugged, weathered look, the right finish is key to bringing your vision to life — and keeping it beautiful for years to come.
