To exalt the natural
aspect of a wooden
flooring, it’s important
to value and choose the
right finishing, manu-
facturing and/or treat-
ments.

The finishing can be var-
sh, oil or wax.

The finishing
The finishing

The Varnish finishing is usually composed by a first base coat and then
one or more varnish coats. The varnish, the umber of the coats depends
on the model, is used to form a film, usually transparent, that protect
the treatment from the external stress (footsteps, water, use, scratches,
uv rays, etc.), and it gives more hardness to the surface, so it will also be
aesthetically better, and it simplifies the maintenance of the floor.
The varnishing finititurer are usually carry out with solvent, oil or water
based varnishes.
Usually the varnishes used are transparent ones, but you can choose
coloured varnishes to customize your wood flooring.
Varnishes have different level of brilliance, depending on the gloss. We
can distinguish them into shiny, semi-shiny, glazed and opaque.

The Oiled finishing, made by a mix of natural oils and synthetic oils, give
value to the veinings and the wood coloration. It makes its tone warmer
and darker, it feeds the wood, impregnating it and making it more hard
and resistant.

Waxed finishing, realized through different kind of natural or synthetic
waxes, consent a good transpiration of the wood and make the surface
high resistante to the footsteps and to the inception of spots and scra-
tches, thanks to the formation of a protective coat.
To reinvigorate the coloration of the wood is better to use yellor or
dark waxes.
A waxed flooring is really likable but it periodically needs to be waxed to
avoid an opaque effect.
