It provides a durable, stain-resistant, and non-slip finish that boasts 60% the hardness of glass, ensuring long-term protection for your flooring.

FAQs
Can I use this varnish on outdoor decking?
No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only.
How many coats should I apply?
While it depends on the wood porosity, generally two to three thin coats are recommended for optimal protection.
Is this product safe for homes with pets?
Yes, its low odour formula and non-slip finish make it a safer choice for family homes, including those with pets, once fully dried.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Check the product packaging for specific solvent instructions, as most high-resistance varnishes require mineral spirits or dedicated brush cleaners.
Can I apply this over existing floor wax?
No, you must remove all existing wax, polish, or oil finishes by sanding the wood back to the bare surface before application.
What is the total coverage of a 750ml tin?
A 750ml tin covers approximately 10-12m² per coat, depending on the absorbency of the wood.
Troubleshooting
The finish looks uneven or streaky.
Ensure the varnish is stirred thoroughly before application and that you are using a high-quality brush or roller suited for varnish.
The varnish is taking longer than 6 hours to dry between coats.
High humidity or low temperatures can slow drying times. Improve ventilation or use a dehumidifier in the room.
Bubbles appearing in the finish.
Do not over-work the varnish with the brush or roller; apply in smooth, consistent strokes to prevent air entrapment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the wood floor is sanded, clean, and free of dust or grease. Stir the varnish thoroughly before use. Apply the product evenly using a brush or roller, following the wood grain. For maintenance, a simple damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning, as the stain-resistant properties prevent deep absorption of contaminants. Avoid using harsh abrasive chemicals that could wear down the protective layer over time. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the product from thickening.
