Sprint 100 natural timber floor finish from Lagler Australia


You have to experience the silky smooth finish from a genuine "burnishing" oil to fully appreciate it's unique process and result. Once an antiquated technique, it's making a comeback and for good reason.

Unlike traditional polyurethane "film build" type finishes, nothing creates a more natural, attractive, smooth, totally closed-grain look and feel of a burnished oil. And, unlike traditional oil-modified finishes which simply put a thin, mildly durable film build of polyurethane, this process actually produces a more durable, harder-wearing surface.

This is because the durability relies on something other than a "skin" on the surface, which, once worn through, exposes the bare timber. A burnished oil fills the grain of the timber, penetrating it deeply with a protective substance and bonding to the "meat" of the timber, rather than just the top layer. The final burnishing process hardens the top of the timber.

Sprint 100 is easily applied with a rubber squeegee, removing excess oil with cotton cloths on a slow speed buffing machine. The finish is quite stunning on either soft or harder timbers. This is a ONE COAT, two-buff system.

Sprint 100 has excellent coverage, with 40m² per litre achievable on harder, more dense timbers.

Another feature of Sprint 100 is that it can accept tints. Not only timber stains, but a white can be added to create a lime-washed look, in only one coat! Until now, lime-washing has been a difficult wipe-on, wipe-off application, and incompatible with many conventional coatings, the bane of many contractors while lime-washing is increasing in demand.

The burnished oil look is being used and specified in an increasing number of commercial and domestic projects including museums, galleries and public halls, due in part to the ease of use and maintenance. That, and the fact that it simply looks superb.

A thinner version of Sprint 100 is available as a maintenance pack, applied with a spray bottle for easy re-buffing. Architects, specifiers and project managers will realise the massive commercial benefit of being able to maintain the durability and appearance of the floor without expensive and cumbersome re-sanding and coating. And don't forget this is a LOW VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) product - easy on the environment and on the nose during application.

Sprint 100 is available only from Lagler Australia.
