2. The Bona Floor Treatment Program

The Bona Floor Treatment program consists of three specific processes that prolong the life of wood floors and minimize disruption in high-use environments.

The treatments, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, can be combined throughout the floor's life cycle, depending on its current surface needs, and can help avoid sudden, large costs.

The concept should educate flooring contractors, and others involved with the care and maintenance of wood floors, in how they can use this to extend their maintenance offer and grow their own business by improving communication with the commercial floor owner or facility manager.

During the one-day course, each process is explained with detailed practical demonstrations, looking at the benefits of extending the flooring contractors’ offer to include all stages of the floor’s life.  We also examine the optimal ongoing maintenance for floors treated with different product types (lacquer/oil).
