THE FINISHING TOUCH
A GUIDE TO OUR PRE-FINISHED WOOD FLOORS
Understanding Ted Todd floor finishes is an important part of your wood floor journey.
All of our pre-finished floors are fully finished, saving you time and money when it comes to installation. From lacquer to oil based, matt to satin sheen, our finishes help protect your hardwood floor from damage.
There are also important aesthetic outcomes to consider as almost all our finishes will change the tone of a floor in some way, so understanding their characteristics is important.
We can provide samples of our different finishes if you wish to consider them as part of your specification process. Please email enquiries@tedtodd.co.uk

BURNISHED HARDWAX OIL
Also known as a ‘Hardwax Oil’, this is a durable, natural finish that combines oils to deeply penetrate the wood’s pores. Slowly build up for maximum protection. Reflects light well and emphasises natural grain. Our Burnished Hardwax Oils are a regenerative finish: clean & re-apply to regenerate.
ORGANIC OILS
Organic oil penetrates deep into the pores of the wood. This restricts dirt from penetrating deep into the grain. Very little oil is left as a residue on the surface of your floor, and this creates a natural feel. These oils emphasise the wood’s grain and natural characteristics. Our Organic Oils are a regenerative finish: clean & re-apply to regenerate.
UNFINISHED
Floors supplied without any finish, allowing you to select a finish to be applied once laid and sanded within your project. Unfinished floors can also be specified for highly complex patterns as site finishing is recommended. Woodworks a variety of finishes from super matt to high gloss offering maximum protection.
