We recommend Maintenance Oil for the maintenance of all of our oiled wood floors to help keep your floor in pristine condition and provide added protection from foot traffic, dirt particles and spillages.
For best results, apply one coat following installation of your oiled wood floor and then at yearly intervals to keep your floor looking as good as new. This Maintenance Oil can also be applied as a spot treatment if a smaller section of your floor needs sanding and refinishing.
1 litre of oil covers around 70 sqm, dependent on the surface of the floor.
How To Use
Maintenance Oil is ready to use. The ground surface must be dry and free of dust and grease. First clean the surface with a neutral cleaner (such as Parquet Cleaner) and let it dry. Apply Maintenance Oil onto small areas in a thin and even layer with a cloth with the grain of the wood. For larger areas we recommend using a buffing machine. Dribble the Maintenance Oil on the surface in the shape of a snake and polish it in with a cloth or buffing machine.

What's the difference?
| Oil | Lacquer |
|---|---|
Oil penetrates the wood, enhancing its colour and accentuating its natural grain and texture. This process results in a charming, authentic appearance. Oiled wood floors are considered to be less protected than lacquered ones, however they’re much easier to mend if they get scratched or stained. Unlike a lacquered finish, oil can be reapplied as a spot treatment, which will save you having to sand and refinish the entire floor if only a small area needs repairing. Another advantage of an oiled wood floor is its ability to be restored to pristine condition with a fresh coat of oil. The frequency of recoating depends on usage, but we suggest reapplying every 1-2 years. |
Lacquer sits on top of the wood and acts as a barrier against dirt particles and moisture. This makes it a popular choice as it's considered more resilient and resistant to spills than oil. However, it's important to remember that even lacquered floors can still be susceptible to damage from puddled water. Lacquered floors also highlight scratches more than oiled floors, and are therefore not recommended for pet owners. Lacquered floors are prized for their ease of maintenance, as unlike oiled floors they don't require frequent treatments. However, if damaged, they cannot be repaired in small areas; instead, the entire floor must be sanded and refinished. |
