How to make the best choice of varnish?

If you are ready to have your hardwood floor varnished, come to Planchers St-Hubert. One of our representatives will show you samples of our different products and explain the characteristics of each one. Indeed, the varnishes specially designed to protect hardwood floors can be composed of different substances with their own qualities and drawbacks.

One thing is certain, whatever you choose, you will obtain a satisfactory result for many years! At Planchers St-Hubert, we have built our solid reputation by using modern equipment (including dust-free sanders) and by applying superior quality finishing products. Here is a brief overview of the 4 types of varnishes we offer, available in several colours and finishes (gloss, semi-gloss or satin):

Cristal (by Betonel): the most affordable solution, but requires a longer drying and curing time;
Bona Mega (by Bona Kemi): a durable and ecological product that dries quickly;
Penetrating oil (Duraseal): a very resistant product that preserves the natural appearance of the wood;
Bona Traffic (by Bona Kemi): our top-of-the-line solution for floors that will look great for at least 20 years!

How can I ensure the longevity of my hardwood floor?

To ensure the “freshly varnished” appearance of your hardwood floors, you should follow these recommendations

  • If you must move furniture, never drag it directly across the floor;
  • Make sure the humidity level in your property is neither too high nor too low;
  • Use one of our cleaning products regularly.
