When choosing engineered hardwood floors, the finish is a critical aspect that can significantly impact the floor's appearance, durability, and overall maintenance. Among the various finishes available, Matte UV Lacquer has emerged as a top choice for homeowners and designers alike. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of Matte UV Lacquer finishes and why Allora Floors’ use of this finish makes them the premier choice for high-quality flooring.
Matte UV lacquer is a specialized finish applied to engineered hardwood floors. It involves coating the wood surface with a matte-finish water-based lacquer that is then cured using ultraviolet (UV) light. This process creates a protective layer that enhances the wood's natural beauty while providing exceptional durability and resistance to everyday wear and tear.
Matte UV lacquer imparts a soft, natural look to hardwood floors, allowing the wood's grain and texture to shine through without the high gloss of other finishes. This finish is perfect for those seeking a more understated, sophisticated aesthetic that complements both traditional and modern interiors.
The eight-layer water-based UV-cured finish creates a strong protective barrier on the wood, making it highly resistant to scratches, scuffs, and stains. This durability ensures that your floors will maintain their beautiful appearance even in high-traffic areas of your home.
Matte UV lacquer finishes are easy to maintain. They do not show dust, dirt, or minor imperfections as easily as high-gloss finishes, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. When maintenance is required, it’s straightforward and simple, allowing you to keep your floors looking their best with minimal effort. To maintain them, simply use a soft broom or vacuum regularly, and occasionally mop with a damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner to preserve their natural beauty.
Matte UV lacquer is an excellent choice for homes focused on sustainability and indoor air quality. Thanks to its UV-cured process and water-based nature, this finish has minimal volatile organic compounds(VOCs), making it a safer and eco-friendlier option compared to traditional finishes. All Allora flooring complies with the CARB “Indoor Air Comfort Gold” certification, in addition to the “CLASSE E1 (UNI EN 717–1)”certification, which are some of the strictest guidelines in the world.
The protective qualities of the eight-layer Matte UV lacquer extend the lifespan of your hardwood floors and help you enjoy your investment for years to come.
