We follow Bona’s application guidelines to apply consistent coats and achieve the performance and durability the finish is designed to deliver.
We opted for an amber water base sealer plus 2 coats of durable water based high traffic finish. The combination provided a slightly lighter and more modern look to our 75+ year old top nail oak floors, they look amazing!— David Dunn

Oil-based sealer and finish give hardwood floors a traditional golden or amber appearance. For many, it’s the ideal colour for hardwood floors.
It suits the character of older homes. Shellacs, varnishes, lacquers, and oils have long been used to create a warm, deep, rich appearance that highlights fine woodwork. The same applies to hardwood floors.






Water-based sealer and finish is the modern alternative to oil-based products. It offers more freedom in appearance and sheen, from ultra-matte and satin to semi-gloss.
With several sealer options to determine the shade, you can make a more personal choice for your floor. Water-based products have very low odour, provide exceptional durability, and cure faster so you can return to regular living sooner.
