Hard Wax Oil — oil-finish

Bona Hard Wax Oil

Bona Hard Wax Oil is a Canola vegetable-based oil and contains very low VOCs. It is low in odour and contains no hazardous agents. For long-lasting protection on floors, Bona Hard Wax Oil delivers excellent resistance to wear, scuff marks and moisture. It produces the warm look of an oiled floor while establishing a hard-wearing and stain resistant surface that is spot-repairable and easy to maintain. It leaves an open, breathing surface that reduces the risk of edge-bonding. Highly suitable for floors with underfloor heating.
