Waterlox is worth exploring for hardwood floors


Waterlox Original Sealer / Finish is made from Tung Oil, so its natural characteristics make sealing and finishing wood a breeze. Tung Oil is processed from a renewable nut harvested from trees. Wood sealed and finished with Waterlox tung oil products provide a beautiful barrier that protects against moisture, acids, alcohol, and scratches. Waterlox is widely used for hardwood flooring, furniture, doors, trim, countertops, antique lumber, and a variety of wood elements.

Tung oil finishes are the most durable of all wood finishes and strongly enhance the natural beauty of wood. Since these finishes retain a certain amount of elasticity almost indefinitely, they will not cloud, crack or become brittle . Scratches are easily repaired; no sanding is necessary; just re-apply finish to a clean surface. Unlike raw tung oil, Waterlox is blended with a resin that creates an extremely durable hard surface.

We recommend a 3 to 4 coat system be used for most finishing. Some flooring, furniture and antique restoration projects require up to 5 coats). Waterlox Original Sealer / Finish provides the best sealing coat(s) because its superior penetration. The final coat(s) can be any of the following:
All of the above systems will produce a beautiful finish and lasting protection with easy maintenance and recoatability.
