Junckers organises its lacquers into numbered product lines, each covering a mix of sheens from satin through to ultra matt. The line name is the quickest way to narrow things down before choosing a sheen.
The MT Range: MT200, MT400 and MT500
This is the core of the Junckers lacquer range. MT200 comes in Satin and UltraMatt, MT400 in Satin and Matt, and MT500 in UltraMatt and Silk Matt — giving a fairly wide spread of sheen options across three tiers of the same underlying system.
HT700: A Premium Line
The Junckers HT700 range, available in Satin and UltraMatt, sits at a higher price point than the standard MT lines, suggesting a more premium formulation — worth checking the specific product page for the technical detail behind that.
Friction and HP800 Sport: Specialist Finishes
Two products here are aimed at particular situations rather than a standard living room floor. The Junckers Friction Floor Lacquer, Ultra Matt is formulated with slip resistance in mind, while the Junckers HP800 Sport Lacquer, Satin is intended for sprung or sports-use floors.
FAQs
What's the difference between MT200, MT400 and MT500?
They represent different tiers within Junckers' MT lacquer system, with sheen options varying by line — check the specific product page for which sheens are available in each.
Is HT700 better than the MT range?
It's positioned as a more premium option, but "better" depends on your specific job and budget — the MT range remains a solid, widely-used choice for standard floors.
When would I need the Friction lacquer instead of a standard finish?
It's aimed at areas where slip resistance is a particular concern, such as stairs or specific commercial settings, rather than a typical domestic floor.
Is the HP800 Sport Lacquer only for sports halls?
It's formulated for sprung or sports-use floors specifically, so it's most relevant if that matches your floor type rather than a standard residential room.
Are Junckers lacquers water-based or solvent-based?
Both types exist within the Junckers range — check the specific product page or data sheet to confirm which system a given lacquer uses.
