FINISHING ON A HIGH NOTE
With 12 different finishes available across the Ted Todd and Woodworks portfolio, we have a floor finish that’s right for every project.
From lacquer or oil based, matt to satin sheen, our finishes help protect your hardwood floor from damage.
Whilst many of our floors are created complete with a finish to save you time and effort later, we have many unfinished options which you may decide to finish on site in line with your specifications.
There are important aesthetic outcomes to consider however.
Almost all our finishes will change the tone of our floors in some way, and understanding the colour change when picking your most appropriate finish is very important.
Hardwax Oil, Natural Oil and Oil Wood Traffic will give the floor a much darker look, whereas water-based finishes such as our Naked Skin Lacquer and Satin Lacquer give a more medium-to-dark tone.
DIFFERENT FINISHES
MATT LACQUER
Transparent, soft-feel lacquer that maintains the original ‘unfinished’ look of natural wood. Dried and sanded between a minimum of 6 coats for the maximum possible protection. For cleaning lacquer-based finishes use Care System 1, and for white toned floors with a lacquered finish, we recommend using Care System 3.
HARDENED OIL
Hardened oil is an oil-based finish. It has a natural look with a subtle sheen. The outer layer is UV hardened to give added wear and water resistance making it easy to maintain. For cleaning UV finished floors use Care System 1, and for white toned floors with an UV finish, we recommend using Care System 3.
PEARL LACQUER
This specialist finish creates an iridescent reflection and provides the durability you would expect from a multi coat lacquer. For cleaning lacquer-based finishes use Care System 1, and for white toned floors with a lacquered finish, we recommend using Care System 3.
OIL WOOD TRAFFIC
This finish gives the wooden floor a warm and soft appearance, typical of natural oil-based finishes. It is very resistant to wear and tear and liquids due to natural hardening. For cleaning oil-based finishes use Care System 2, and for white toned floors with an oil-based finish, we recommend using Care System 4.

ORIGINAL POLISHED PATINA

OXIDATED OIL
Oxidated Oil is a finish that hardens the surface of the wood using oxygen. Through a chemical reaction, the oil element develops over time through exposure to air and creates an almost invisible, but very hard wearing matt layer of protection.
