Our Solvent Based Floor Finishes
Synteko’s focus has been to produce quality products
from the most sophisticated architect and designers to the
most experienced floor sanders and finishes. Synteko’s
high standard means that the company does not manufacture
the cheapest or widest range of products. Synteko produces
proven quality products that enhance the natural beauty whilst
leaving behind a durable, long-lasting, beautiful floor finish
that will completely satisfy you.
For the last 50 years, Synteko’s Swedish finish known
as “Classic” has withstood the test of time and
set the benchmark for excellence, that no other solvent-based
finish can match. Synteko’s Classic system provides
a unique combination of durability, scratch and scuff resistance,
clarity and grain definition. The Classic system also provides
unsurpassed beauty, bringing out the natural colour of your
wood floor.
The Classic advantages to you, the home owner, is a sophisticated
product that can be coated over all new timber floors i.l.o
tungoil based finishes without the incidence of edge bonding
or rejection. This is commonly experienced with oily timbers
such as Brushbox .In addition a further advantage is the
low maintenance cost that you are accustomed to with polyurethane
type finishes.
If surface scratches are made in the topcoat they are less
visible than other finishes and less likely to chip or peel
away. No need to apply acrylic type waxes on a monthly basis.
When the Synteko Classic system begins to show signs of wear
it can be simply re-coated without re-sanding to bare wood.
Our Oil Based Floor Finishes
Synteko’s mission is one of producing uncompromising
quality products. Synteko floor coatings have been at the
forefront of timber floor finishes technology for the last
35 years. This policy is especially carried through to its
oil range of timber floor finishes. Synteko has developed two world class leading, yet distinctly
different oil finishes. Namely, Synteko Urethane and Synteko
Solid.
Synteko Urethane is a superior quality oil modified polyurethane
engineered floor finish .This floor finish is renowned for
its depth of beauty and because of its high solid content,
is extremely durable. Synteko Urethane is a universal product
enabling it to be used on any species of timber floor. Urethane
gives the timber floor finish richness of colour while offering
maximum protection.
Synteko Solid is an innovative very high solids oil finish
based on natural oils for timber floors. Solid is characterised
by an exceptional high yield coupled with extraordinary abrasion
resistance which is obtained through no evident film left
on the surface. Solid penetrates deeply into the wood surface
enhancing the natural beauty and warmth of the wood. This
results in an extremely durable finish requiring a minimal
maintenance costs.
A unique feature of Synteko Solid is the ability to modify
its basic colour by adding a range of pigmented colours.
