Oil & Hardwax Oil Finishes
Natural oil finishes that enrich the grain and can be touched up without re-sanding.
Overview
Oil finishes soak into the timber, deepening the grain and giving a warm, natural look and feel underfoot. Modern hardwax oils combine that natural look with good protection, and worn areas can be refreshed locally without sanding the whole floor. Oil is a particularly good choice for oak, parquet and herringbone.
- Warm, natural appearance
- Enhances grain and colour
- Spot-repairable
- Ideal for oak, parquet and herringbone
- Can be combined with colour

FAQs
Oil & Hardwax Oil Finishes questions
Oil or lacquer?
Lacquer gives the toughest surface protection; oil gives a more natural look and can be repaired locally. We'll recommend the best option for how you use the room.
How do I look after an oiled floor?
Sweep or vacuum regularly, clean with a suitable floor soap and give it a maintenance coat when it starts to look dry – we'll leave you with aftercare advice.
