Finishes
Durable, natural and low VOC protection.
We offer the following two finishes for all our engineered hardwood products.
Natural Oil
Our Natural Oil finished hardwood floors are deep-treated with European-made natural oils and waxes to protect the entire hardwood layer. They arrive completely pre-finished and ready to use.

Our Natural Oil finish is different from other "UV Oil" finishes. Those finishes leave a thin protective film on the wood's surface which is easily scratched away and does not protect all layers of the hardwood from soaking up spills.

Benefits of Natural Oil

Matte Appearance

Matte, natural-looking with very low sheen

Natural Composition

European-made natural oils and waxes

Ultra Low VOC

Falls well below emission standards from LEED

Locally Repairable

Any surface scratches can be touched-up by an application of oil

Ready to Use

Our floors arrive 100% pre-finished and pre-oiled
Supermatte Lacquer
Our Supermatte Lacquer was exclusively developed in partnership with Bona, a leading European manufacturer to provide a commercially-rated and ultra low sheen lacquer (<5% reflectivity) without the use of matting agents, urethane or heavy VOC-emitting compounds.

Conventional lacquers rely on urethane finishes which contain matting particles to scatter reflecting light rays. These traditional lacquers do not last over time because the matting agents are rubbed off through everyday use, leading to shiny, polished spots.

Our lacquer formulation avoids these pitfalls entirely by using a unique curing process which produces an extremely durable, matte and non-porous surface.
