Wood Floor Oils
Floor oils generally provide a more natural finish, the oil soaks into the pores of the wood highlighting the natural colour of the wood. Depending on the species of timber the colour will change to give a richer look.
Wood Floor Oils are easy to apply and maintain but requires more maintenance to keep in tip top condition. The sheen level available is a matt or satin-matt finish, (a gloss finish is not available in an oil finish).

Wood Floor Lacquers and Varnishes
Floor lacquers and varnishes generally provide a harder wearing more durable finish. These products when applied remain on the surface providing a protective coating, with little colour change to the timber. Available in a satin, matt or gloss finish, easy to apply and maintain.

Wood Floor Waxes
A waxed floor is inviting and gives a room a warm and fresh look floor wax is easy to apply and provides a nourishing and protective finish, the sheen level is usually a soft satin sheen producing a silky feel. However choosing a waxed floor need a bit more consideration regarding its use.
A waxed floor marks easily and if water contacts the waxed surface, it will leave a water stain which is easily removed with buffing or reapply more wax. Maintaining a waxed floor is easy but will require more maintenance than an oiled or lacquered floor.
