This is where every finishing product on the site lives in one place — lacquers, hardwax oils, wood dyes and stains, primers, cleaners and sanding abrasives from established names including Bona, Junckers, Osmo, Morrells, Loba and Blanchon.
Floor Lacquers: Water-Based and Solvent-Based
For a hard-wearing, film-forming finish, floor lacquers are the most common choice on both domestic and commercial floors. Junckers' range alone spans several sheen levels, from the UltraMatt finish on the Junckers MT200 and MT500 lacquers to the satin Junckers HT700. Whether you go water-based or solvent-based usually comes down to drying time, odour, and whether the floor needs to stay in light use during the job.
Wood Dyes and Stains for Colour Change
If you want to shift the colour of the timber rather than just protect it, the wood dyes and stains range is the place to start. Morrells is the dominant name here, with its Light Fast Stain line covering a wide spread of shades from pale golden oak through to black and walnut, alongside the Scandi Wood Stain range for cooler, Nordic-style tones.
Hardwax Oils for a Natural-Look Finish
For a more matte, "raw wood" appearance that penetrates rather than sits on the surface, hardwax and oil finishes are the usual alternative to lacquer. Osmo is the standout brand in this category, offering both clear and coloured wax finishes.
Primers and Treatments
Most lacquer and oil systems perform better over a properly primed floor — see our dedicated primers and treatments range for sealers, toning primers, and everyday floor treatments like scuff removers.
Cleaners, Polishers and Ongoing Maintenance
Once a floor is finished, keeping it looking right is mostly about using the right cleaners and polishers rather than generic household products, which can dull or damage certain finishes over time. Bona and Loba both offer dedicated wood floor cleaning sprays and polishes here.
Abrasives, Fillers and Mastics
Before any finish goes down, the floor usually needs sanding — our abrasives range, led by Starcke, covers discs and belts across a wide spread of grit sizes. For gaps and imperfections, there's also a dedicated floor and wood fillers range and coloured silicones and mastics for movement joints and skirting lines.
FAQs
What's the difference between a lacquer and a hardwax oil finish?
A lacquer forms a protective film on top of the wood, giving a more uniform, often glossier surface. A hardwax oil soaks into the timber instead, giving a more natural, matte appearance that's generally easier to spot-repair.
Do I need to prime before staining or lacquering?
In most cases, yes — priming helps the finish sit more evenly, especially on bare or newly sanded wood. See our primers and treatments range for the options.
Which brands do you stock?
The site carries products from Bona, Junckers, Osmo, Morrells, Loba, Blanchon and several other established flooring brands, covering lacquers, oils, stains, primers and abrasives.
Can I buy finishing products here without buying flooring itself?
Yes — this store is focused specifically on finishing, fitting, and maintenance products rather than the flooring materials themselves.
How do I choose between water-based and solvent-based lacquer?
Water-based lacquers generally dry faster and have less odour, which suits occupied properties or tight schedules. Solvent-based lacquers can offer a different look and feel and are often preferred for certain traditional finishes — check the specific product page for guidance on your floor type.
