Floor sealers make a difference
Apart from that it’s more cost efficient than just adding another layer of topcoat, it also gives a coloration option from white to deep, depending on the desire of the floor owner. Moreover, using sealers will build depth, improve adhesion, and improve durability.
Floor sealers have a known effect on wood coloration. You can design the floor impression by using a sealer that provides a certain tone to the floor. It’s a well-known fact that the majority of floor owners prefer a floor which is either neutral or just slightly colored. For example, Bona Traffic HD RAW together with Bona NordicSeal for a light, Nordic look.
Sheen options contributing to the design
Reaching this far, it’s time to look at the sheen levels delivered by the choice of topcoats. A higher sheen level deepens the coloration, while a lower sheen level makes the floor more neutral. It all comes down to your customer’s demands. Some of the topcoats have a wider range of sheens, check the preferred topcoat for possibilities.
To achieve a protected wood floor with an absolute natural impression, the ultimate choice is Bona Traffic HD RAW. The floor finish is almost invisible, still it’s there, assuring long-lasting protection of the wood floor.

Bona Floor Sealers
Secure adhesion, with the freedom of style, plays a pivotal role in protecting wood floors, starting with the essential application of floor sealers. After the initial sanding phase, which removes imperfections and prepares the surface for treatment, the next step involves meticulously selecting a sealer that caters to both aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. A properly chosen sealer not only enhances the natural beauty of the wood but also creates a reliable barrier against moisture, dirt, and general wear and tear. This foundational layer is crucial in ensuring that subsequent layers of color and finish adhere securely, providing lasting durability while allowing homeowners to express their unique design vision.
Moreover, the artistry involved in finishing wood floors allows for a diverse range of styles and finishes, from glossy varnishes to matte seals that protect while preserving the wood's organic charm. As professionals prepare the surface for color and finish, attention to detail becomes paramount. The combination of proper sealing techniques and a keen eye for design ensures that each application not only safeguards the wood floors but also contributes to the overall ambiance of the space. This harmonious balance between secure adhesion and stylistic freedom empowers homeowners to enjoy floors that are both beautifully finished and resilient against the rigors of everyday life.

Bona Floor Finishes
Choosing the right floor finish is essential for enhancing the longevity and aesthetic appeal of any space, and Bona recognizes this need by offering a diverse range of finishes tailored to meet various conditions.
