Should I choose a Mulveys Oiled or Lacquered Floor?
The number one consideration for this decision would be the appearance. Lacquered floors are what people are most familiar with. They have a hard finish with a “varnish” look and some level of gloss. Mulveys oiled floors on the other hand have a “matt” natural look. The result being two very different finishes, even on the same raw material. Mulveys flooring will provide the foundation for any beautiful room. Choose carefully. Another important consideration is the maintenance required. Mulveys lacquered floors have a very hard finish that in normal conditions will last for a number of years before re-sanding is required. This is in contrast with Mulveys oiled floors, if correctly maintained will not need to re-sanded. The maintenance involves a “topping” up of the oil with Mulveys maintenance oil on a regular basis. This will serve three purposes, protect against stains, repair scratches and completely rejuvenate the floor.
