Durable Lacquered Finish_x000D_

Unlike the oiled finish, which seals the timber by soaking into the wooden surface, the lacquer creates a protective layer on top of the timber. This makes is the more durable and easier to maintain finish. It does not require recoating and will take regular hooveing and spray mopping once in awhile. _x000D_

Modern lacquers are non-yellowing waterbased finishes with low VOC content, which are less affected by sunlight than the oil-based sealants and are available in various sheens like - ExtraMatt,  Matt, Satin and Gloss. _x000D_

Natural Oiled Finish_x000D_

Oil based finishes seal timber by soaking into the wooden surface and therefore tend to provide a more natural feel and look of the timber. Quite often wooden floors are sealed with oil after going through a "brushing" process, which  embosses the texture of the wooden surface. Floors with such finish are referred to as "Brushed & Oiled"._x000D_

This type of finish is less durable compared to the lacquer, but allows recoating of your wooden floors. This can have some benefits in terms of maintenance, as recoating can delay the complete renovation of the floors, which uses the process of sanding and reduces the wearable thickness of the wooden floors._x000D_

The oil-based finishes however are slow-drying (6-10 hours per coat) and it may be difficult in terms of planning and furniture to apply a new top coat in a busy household. In fact, due to this inconvenience many household tend to delay recoating of oiled floors and end up renovating their floors too early._x000D_

Walnut Flooring_x000D_

Walnut is known for its characteristic dark coloured wood with attractive straight and irregular wood grain patterns. Walnut is a dense, heavy and strong wood and therefore is ideal for flooring products._x000D_

Although there are many varieties of walnut trees, just a handful are used for flooring. Of them, the Eastern Black Walnut, also called the American Black Walnut or American Walnut, is the one which attracts with its beauty and richness of colour._x000D_

Installation_x000D_

Planks with 20 mm thickness provide excellent solidness and flooring stability even if laid as suspended floors onto batten or timber joists. They can be secret-nailed, glued-down or floated (with underlay) and usually available with extended life span guarantee. Glue-down installation is highly recommended for subfloors with underfloor heating system._x000D_
