Choosing the Right Finish

Extra Matt is the best choice where the aim is to retain an extremely natural, low-sheen appearance. It minimises visible surface reflection and works particularly well in contemporary interiors.

Matt provides a classic low-sheen appearance and offers a balanced option for customers who want a natural-looking floor without an extremely flat finish.

Silk Matt provides slightly more surface sheen, helping bring additional depth and definition to the colour and grain of the timber while remaining considerably more restrained than a high-gloss finish.

Application Guidance

The wooden surface must be properly sanded, clean, dry and free from sanding dust, oil, wax and other contaminants before application. Mix the product thoroughly before and during use to ensure an even finish.

Apply Bona Hard Wax Oil evenly using the application method specified in Bona’s current Technical Data Sheet. Avoid excessive application and maintain a consistent film across the entire working area.

Always follow Bona’s current instructions for application rate, drying time, number of coats and recoating before starting the project.

Care & Maintenance

Regularly remove loose dirt and abrasive particles using a soft brush, vacuum cleaner or suitable dry-cleaning method. For routine cleaning and maintenance, use products specifically suitable for hard wax oiled wooden floors.

Avoid excessive water, steam cleaners and aggressive household cleaning products, as these may damage or prematurely wear the treated surface.

Important Note

The appearance of Bona Hard Wax Oil can vary depending on the wood species, natural timber colour, sanding sequence and application method. Always prepare a representative test area before treating the complete floor, particularly where the final colour or sheen is critical.

FAQs

What is the difference between Extra Matt, Matt and Silk Matt?
The difference is the final sheen level. Extra Matt provides the lowest sheen, Matt provides a conventional low-sheen appearance, and Silk Matt offers slightly more surface reflection and depth.

Does Bona Hard Wax Oil change the appearance of the wood?
Yes. As with most oil-based treatments, it enhances the natural grain and character of the timber. The exact effect varies between wood species.

Can it be used on engineered wood flooring?
It can be used on suitable engineered wood flooring that is designed to be sanded and refinished. Always check the flooring manufacturer’s requirements first.

Should I sand the floor before application?
For renovation or application to unfinished timber, the surface should be professionally prepared and sanded according to the required Bona finishing system.

Which finish looks the most natural?
Extra Matt provides the lowest sheen and is generally the best choice where a very natural, minimally reflective appearance is desired.
