Sustainable Total Solutions
With a Focus on Performance, Health, and Extended Floor Life
Sustainability is core to our business and has been embedded in our company culture since 1919. We believe it is our responsibility to create high performing products and systems that minimize the impact on the environment, and are safe for our customers, through intelligently sourced raw materials and the highest standards in the wood floor industry. Our full range of environmentally sound products for installing, sanding, finishing, and maintaining floors were created to bring out the beauty in wood floors while prioritizing the health of our contractors and their customers.
Dustless Sanding
Wood floor sanding used to be an extremely dusty job, hazardous to the contractor, and a clean-up headache for the homeowner.
Bona’s innovative Atomic Dust Containment Systems are the most advanced and powerful dust containment systems available, generating 99.8% less dust in the air than the traditional sanding process. By preventing the infiltration and permeation of dust into drapery, furniture, cabinets, air ducts, and air conditioning units during the sanding process, Bona’s GREENGUARD Certified systems make the wood floor sanding process cleaner, healthier, and faster than ever before.
Durable and Safe
It has been a misconception that waterborne finishes are not as durable as oil-modified finishes. In Taber test results, it’s proven that waterborne finishes withstand the wear and tear of commercial and residential floors better than oil-modified finishes.
Did You Know?
Acid-cured finishes give off formaldehyde (a carcinogen) during the curing process which lasts more than 30 days. They emit very high VOCs and harmful fumes which require a full respirator during application, and they require the homeowner, pets, food, and plants to vacate the home.
Oil-modified and acid-cured finishes both contain petroleum distillates that are combustible or flammable, and their dry and cure times are two to three times longer than waterborne finishes.

IVL Report
For years, Bona has seen the resource-saving benefits of properly maintaining and renovating floors. The environmental effects of renovating rather than replacing are clear.
But few studies have quantified and verified the positive effects. Until now. Recently, Bona initiated an ambitious project together with the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, to find out the hard facts.
