Ronseal Eco Floor Varnish
Ronseal Eco Floor Varnish delivers superior performance compared to standard floor varnishes due to the unique water-borne Castor Oil based resin system. It protects interior wooden floors from household chemical spillage and abrasion, scuffs and scratches caused by everyday foot traffic. Its non-yellowing, translucent pigments enhance the beauty of the wood with a natural satin or gloss finish and its superb abrasion resistance makes it ideal for use in areas of high traffic, for example hallways and kitchens. It has 30% less petrochemical content than standard floor varnishes and has a low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) level making it better for the environment and for you. It is water-based, has a low odour and brushes wash out in water. It is packaged in a steel tin which contains up to 40% recycled material and is 100% recyclable.

WHERE CAN I USE IT?
Ronseal Eco Floor Varnish is ideal for use on most wooden floors including those in kitchens and bathrooms and is particularly suited for areas of the highest foot traffic. Suitable for use over most hard and soft wood, as well as hardboard, chipboard and wood composite. Not to be used over pre-finished or laminate floors.
WHAT SORT OF FINISH?
Ronseal Eco Floor Varnish is available in gloss or satin finishes which allow the natural colour and beauty of the wood to show through. If you wish to colour your floor, use Ronseal Diamond Coat Coloured Floor Varnish.
HOW MANY COATS?
We advise a minimum of 3 coats are applied to ensure maximum durability. If required, further coats may be applied leaving 2 hours between each coat.
COVERAGE
2.5 litres is normally sufficient to cover 40-50 square metres per coat, i.e. 3 coats on a floor measuring 3 metres by 5 metres. Coverage varies with the absorbency and the type of wood.
DRYING TIMES
Allow 30 minutes for each coat to dry and 2 hours between coats.
HOW TO APPLY
Stir well before and during use. Apply in a warm and well ventilated room. Using a Ronseal Perfect Finish Floor Varnish Applicator or a wide synthetic brush suitable for water- based floor varnishes apply the varnish evenly and finish in the direction of the grain. For best results apply to 3-4 floor boards at a time to avoid overlaps. Apply a minimum of 3 coats leaving 2 hours between coats. Do not over-brush as this will spread the varnish too thinly and adversely affect performance. Before the final coat, lightly rub down with 240 grade abrasive paper and wipe over with a damp cloth then allow to dry. Do not use wire wool. The floor is ready to walk on after 8 hours but allow 72 hours before subjecting to heavy foot traffic.
CLEAN UP
Remove as much product from the brush as possible before cleaning. Clean brushes whilst wet with water and detergent. Some local authorities have special facilities for disposing of waste coatings. Do not empty into drains or watercourses. Wipe the tin and lid rim with a clean cloth prior to resealing the pack.
