Oil Based Floor Finishes

* The gloss level of the Tung Oil finish will vary from a satin to a gloss depending of the number of coats and the porosity on the timber.
** China Wood Oil will require regular maintenance.  Click here for China Wood Oil Maintenance sheet.
^ Solvent based finishes can contribute to edge bonding on brand new floors.  Therefore, it is recommended to use a water based or an oil based finish on brand new floors.
