Selecting the right coating to protect your timber floor.
The variety of finishes available for timber floor sanding and cork flooring can be confusing to many consumers. Hardwax oils, Natural Impact Oils, Oil Modified Urethanes, Solvent & Water Borne Polyurethanes. Predominantly, Impact Oils, Hardwax Oil, and Waterborne Polyurethanes finishes are used to complete most timber and cork floors due to their low maintenance and resistance to wear. At Moreton’s, we use a range of differing coating solutions to ensure your floors have the best finish possible and look stunning.

Impact Oils
Impact Oils are a premium, two-part solution crafted from natural ingredients. When applied to timber flooring, impact oils accentuate the intricate characteristics of each floorboard, resulting in a subtle lustre that’s both effortless to maintain and stunning to behold. This finish not only safeguards your floor but also exudes a captivating visual appeal. Impact oils showcase the minimal ageing of the coating, allowing the true colours of the timber to dominate the floor’s appearance. Thanks to their unique application, these oils are unlikely to cause any ghosting effect.
Hard wax oils
Natural Hardwax Oils are high-quality film-forming Hardwax oils bringing out the natural wood structure and are also highly resistant to dirt and water. Smooth and full-bodied appearance, film-forming, abrasion-resistant. Accentuating beautifully prepared, sanded natural timber flooring.
Hardwax oils are easily and affordably maintained. Maintenance and repairs can be performed by the homeowner without the need for tradesmen. Hardwax oils age well with coating discolouration and potential for ghosting minimal.
Water borne polyurethane
With significant development and access to world-leading products, waterborne finishes are making a large impact on the Australian market. Waterborne product was generally selected for use due to their low odour and quick drying times. Now it is selected for its optimal adhesion, minimal side bonding, clarity, extremely good resistance to wear & chemicals, along with its well-known low odour and quick drying times. Waterborne finishes are replenishable with a maintenance coat when required. The advantages of this product, along with its low cost, are now reflected in the growing demand for these products.
Solvent borne polyurethane
The most common of flooring finishes, with its characteristic full body gloss, and a smell that will take your head off, has been the mainstay of the flooring industry for many years. However, its popularity is dropping due to the emergence of superior coating systems that have fewer ghosting issues and a strong shift away from the orange colour, full-gloss plastic look towards a more natural, flat finish that Oils and waxes offer. We do use this product as there are far superior products in our range.
