Solvent based timber floor finishes are extremely toxic and place home owners and contractors at serious health risk.

There are two basic types of floor coating finishes available for use on timber. Solvent based or water-based. Solvent-based timber floor coatings are toxic and carry serious health risks, as well as being harmful to the environment. Water-based coatings are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Bona Sweden pioneered the development of water-based floor finishes in 1979 and is now the recognised world leader in non-toxic water-based coatings for timber floors. Choosing a non-toxic water-based finish will protect your health.

Allow Home Owners to make informed choices by supplying them with professional quotations.

A professional quotation increases your quote to sales ratio and enables home owners to make an informed choice when it comes to having their floors recoated. Many home owners simply obtain three quotes and choose the cheapest one, unaware that the cost difference can translate to the quality of finish used and the quality of work provided.
