FINISHING SYSTEMS
- Light satin sheen
- Protection from dust, dirt and other external influences
- Semi-open pores visual effect
- Environmentally friendly
- Easy maintenance and renewal
SPECIFICATION
Coswick Silk Finish is an innovative environmentally friendly protective and decorative finish that preserves the natural look of natural wood and reliably protects the floor from abrasion, dirt and moisture.
Deep penetrating UV coating based on modified plant-based oils-acrylates. The composition is applied in four layers and forms an invisible but durable film with a slight silky sheen on the surface. Visually and to the touch, the surface of the parquet board is the same as that of natural wood. Silk Finish does not require time-consuming maintenance and is easy to renew.
PROPERTIES
- Silk Finish has high elasticity and resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations. The composition easily penetrates into the surface pores of wood, where it polymerizes under the action of ultraviolet light, forming a strong film on the surface. It protects the floor from dust and moisture, household and food pollution.The effect of semi-open pores created by the coating, together with the technology of brushing, conveys the relief, depth and uniqueness of the natural texture of wood. Visually and to the touch, the surface covered with Silk Finish is the same as that of natural wood.Easy care and renewal. Light silky-mat shine and relief texture mask marks, minor scratches and dents. The coating does not require labour-intensive maintenance, is easily restored during use, so its service life is practically unlimited.Environmental Safety. The coating does not contain solvents and volatile components. Manufacturer’s environmental declaration
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The Silk Finish is easy to maintain, easy to renew and restore without re-sanding the entire floor.
- Primary maintenance is carried out after the completion of all repair work, before starting to use the flooring. It includes dry and wet cleaning followed by waxing the floor to protect wood flooring.
- Regular maintenance is performed as needed, but at least once every 4-7 days. It includes dry and wet cleaning using a Cleaner for oiled and hardwax-oiled hardwood floors.
- Renewal. Those areas that are subjected to the greatest stress, when signs of wear appear, are easily restored with Renewer oil for oiled and hardwax-oiled hardwood floors. The product is applied directly on top of the existing coating, without pre-sanding, which makes the process easy and fast. After such maintenance, the coating completely restores its original appearance and strength.
Depending on the load, partial renovation of parquet floors in residential premises is recommended 1-2 times a year, in public premises with intensive use – 1-2 times a month. Complete renovation of the parquet floor – every 3-5 years and 2-4 times a year, respectively.
- Restoration and local repairs, as a rule, do not require the dismantling of damaged planks or resanding of the entire floor.
Minor scratches and defects are removed with soft wax pencils, then the surface is covered with oil.
To restore small abrasions in places where the coating has worn down to unprotected wood, a preliminary sanding is performed, a stain of the appropriate color is applied, then the surface is treated with oil.
After a local repair, we recommend that you carry out a Renewer oil for oiled and hardwax-oiled hardwood floors to even out the gloss in all areas.
RANGE OF USE
Hardwood floors coated with Silk Finish can be installed both in residential and public buildings: in apartments and houses, offices and restaurants, hotels and shopping centers. Light silky sheen and embossed texture mask marks, small scratches and dents. The finish does not demand labor-intensive maintenance, is easily restored during use.
With proper care and timely renewal, the flooring will look presentable for many years.

SPECIFICATION
The Lacquer Finish consists of 12 layers of UV cured lacquer based on polyurethane-acrylates with the addition of corundum microparticles of a special configuration. The innovative technology creates an impeccably even and smooth surface with completely closed wood pores and provides an exceptionally high wear resistance of the finish.
PROPERTIES
Great strength. Special primers with microparticles of corundum, which is called artificial diamond for its hardness, give the coating a wear resistance ten times higher than traditional polyurethane varnishes.
High chemical resistance. Due to the completely closed pores of the wood and the thickness of the lacquer film, the coating provides the best protection against household solvents and active food substances such as coffee, wine, etc.
Durability. The top lacquer layer is created on the basis of cross-linked polymers, a new generation of materials using nanotechnology. They give the coating a special resistance to abrasion, while maintaining its high elasticity.
Expressiveness. A special wood tinting technology emphasizes the contrast and expressiveness of the lacquer finished texture pattern of natural wood fibers.
Environmentally friendly. The Lacquer Finish does not contain solvents and volatile components. Manufacturer’s environmental declaration
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Lacquer Finish, apart from regular maintenance, does not need any special maintenance or restoration during its entire service life.
Regular maintenance consists of daily cleaning (if necessary) of dust and sand with a vacuum cleaner, followed by a damp cleaning with Coswick Cleaner for lacquered hardwood floors or similar products.
Repair. Due to the exceptionally high strength of the lacquer coating, the repair of damaged planks is carried out in a specific way. In case of minor damage to the surface of the planks, the repair can be carried out with refractory waxes using the Coswick Repair kit Profi. In case of significant damage, it is easier to replace the plank.
RANGE OF USE
Lacquered parquet floors can be installed in residential and public buildings.
When choosing a flooring with a Lacquer Finish, a number of features should be taken into account.
1) Unlike Silk Finish, the Lacquer Finish has an absolutely flat surface with closed pores of wood, so dents from metal stiletto heels or heavy objects falling on it are more noticeable. However, this does not affect the durability of the coating, since due to its elasticity it does not lead to damage and cracking.
2) In conditions of high humidity or during short-term flooding, when expansion and shifts occur in the wood itself, microcracks may form on the varnish film along the wood fibers. With timely treatment with water-repellent protective compounds, they do not affect the service life of the coating and the parquet floor itself. However, lacquered parquet floors are not recommended for installation in unheated rooms or rooms with uncontrolled humidity.
For public spaces with heavy loads, as well as premium facilities, such as hotel complexes, restaurants, offices, clubs, boutiques, we suggest using CosNanoTech + com reinforced commercial lacquer with a matt sheen. Due to the increased content of corundum microparticles, it is even more wear resistant and better withstands high loads without abrasion.
