UV Oil finish has a very low build
thickness (thin coat) which results in an attractive flooring type finish. The
oil penetrates the surface of the wood, providing a luxurious appearance not
seen in conventional UV Urethane floors. UV Oil Finish can achieve a very low
gloss level, even 2-4% compared to UV urethane finishes between 15% and 60%,
that reflects a minimal amount of light while still highlighting the natural
beauty of the wood grain. Such a low gloss level is particularly beneficial
when it comes to dents, dings, and other common house hold or commercial
mishaps which are much less noticeable compared to high gloss level finishes.
With UV Oil Finishes, less is better. Because UV Oil Finish is thin and
flexible, it can handle impacts, conforming to the dent. The finish stays
intact to continue protecting the wood rather than chipping or flaking away. UV
Oil Finish is very environmentally friendly. It is made of 100% solids and
contains no solvents or after cure products. There is no post-installation off
gassing of any kind. One of the greatest benefits of UV Oil is its ease of
repair. Conventional UV cured urethane finishes are extremely difficult to
repair because of the thick finish on top of the wood. Once the finish is
broken it is virtually impossible to touch up seamlessly, instead requiring
sanding and recoating of the whole floor. UV Oil Finishes, however, are easy to
repair and blend without any noticeable spots. It’s as easy as wiping touch-up
oil on a cloth, rubbing it into the wood and letting it dry for one hour. Oil
finishes are perfect for commercial applications such as restaurants, where
there will be considerable wear on the floor. Hardwood floors will dent and
scratch, but with a UV Oil Finish the floor can look almost new in no time.
