Liberon Floor Sealer 5 Litre

Product Information

This product earns its asking price by providing a longer lifespan than most other sealers. While most sealers will need to be re-applied every 1-3 years, this one is supposed to last 6-10 years. That’s quite impressive, but we aren’t sure if this product has been around long enough to prove such a claim. The manufacturer promises ten years for vertical surfaces and six years for horizontal ones. The Downsides Sealing hardwood floors is an important step in protecting and preserving your flooring. With the right preparation, sealant selection, application process, curing time and maintenance plan, you can ensure that your hardwood floors remain beautiful for years to come. By following these steps and taking the time to properly seal hardwood floors, you can protect your investment while also enjoying a stunning floor that will last for many years.

There are two main types of sealants used on hardwood floors: penetrating sealers and surface coatings. Penetrating sealers penetrate into the wood grain, creating a barrier against moisture while still allowing the natural beauty of the wood to show through. Surface coatings form a film over the top of the wood, providing extra protection but also obscuring some of its natural beauty. Choosing The Right Sealant This type of finish will last up to 10 or more years with good care, and you can touch it up as needed. Like most other sealer products, wood sealers work through penetration. When you apply the product to your surface, it soaks into the wood while still a liquid. Thus, when it hardens, it hardens, fills and reinforces the surface of the wood. Depending on the porosity of your wood and the consistency of your sealer, the penetration should be pretty good. Before you begin, make sure to clean the floor thoroughly. Sweep away any dirt or debris with a broom and then mop it with warm water and detergent. Allow the floor to dry completely before proceeding with the next step.Hi Michelle, in your case, the work of renovating the bench was too much because the bench was not maintained for a long time. Whether used as an end sealer or a general-purpose sealer, this product seems to do its job very effectively. One of the most impressive things about this product is the fact that it gets about 500 square feet of coverage from a quart-sized can. This makes the product an even better bargain. Dry Time If you have an antique or glazed parquet floor, you can renovate your wooden floor. You will need to sand it "white", using a parquet sander. A major reason behind the popularity and success of wood sealers is its convenience and easy-to-use attribute. A wood sealer works on the principle of penetrating the pores on the wooden surface i.e. when a sealer is applied on the wood, it hardens. This results in the hardening of the whole wooden surface and at the same time gives it a polished and refined look without hiding the grains. Different types of wood sealers

Water-based sealants are a popular choice for flooring projects, as they provide an effective barrier against moisture and dirt. They’re easy to apply and can be used on many different types of floors, including hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank, tile, concrete and more.Lacquers create a protective layer on the surface of the wood, which makes them the more durable finish and the one requiring the least maintenance. Aluminum oxide is the finish you buy when you are interested in easy installation and longevity. It comes already installed on some prefinished hardwood flooring. Rated to last up to 25 years in a single application, it makes the surface much less likely to scratch or fade. There are several steps involved in sealing a parquet floor. After cleaning the wood and exposing it, apply a parquet sealer (also called parquet varnish), shaking it beforehand. Apply it in the direction of the wood fibres using a roller or spalter in 2 to 3 coats. Allow to dry 2 hours between coats and 24 hours after the last coat. Oil-based finishes will be applied with 2 coats with our services. Due to the slower drying time and amount of solids in this type of sealant, it is recommended re-coating be applied every 16-24 months. Drying Time Factors

Although newer finishes make most of the old approaches obsolete, many owners of older homes still love the penetrating oil sealer. This traditional product typically uses tung oil, which absorbs well into wood and gives a low-gloss shine. Restorative Sealers: This refers to a sealer that is applied to the material to reinvigorate its look. This can be done with most natural stones, as well as unglazed tile. With hardwood, this process requires stripping the chemical seal layers down and then applying a fresh coat along with an optional finish.Our oil-based range of products includes Osmo, Blanchon, Woca, Fiddes and the single coat system from Rubio Monocoat. How Many Coats? Key Takeaway: When applying sealant to hardwood floors, it is important to give the product enough time to cure completely before walking on or using them as intended. This can take anywhere from 8-72 hours depending on the type of product and environmental factors such as humidity levels or temperatures. Maintenance If your floor is oiled, use Wood Cleaner N100 or the Concentrated Wood Cleaner N140 before sanding.
