TIMBER COATINGS
Elevate your timber floors from mere surfaces to enduring statements of beauty and resilience. Every timber floor possesses a unique character, a story etched in its grain, demanding nothing less than the highest calibre sealing products to preserve and enhance its innate charm.
The choice and meticulous application of finishing coatings are paramount, acting as the foundational decisions that will profoundly influence both the aesthetic appeal and long-term durability of your floor for years, even decades, to come. This critical selection dictates how light plays across the surface, how resilient it will be to daily wear and tear, and how effectively it will resist moisture, scratches, and abrasions.
The modern timber flooring landscape offers a diverse spectrum of popular finishes, each designed to achieve a specific look and provide distinct protective qualities. From the warm, natural glow of an oil finish that penetrates and nourishes the wood, to the robust, high-gloss clarity of a polyurethane that forms a protective layer, or the subtle, sophisticated matte of a water-based finish that highlights the wood's natural texture – the options are plentiful.
At Ecoshield, we understand the nuanced requirements of each of these popular finishing choices. That's why we meticulously engineer and offer a premium coating product specifically formulated to complement and optimize the performance of every option. Our innovative solutions are designed not just to protect, but to enhance, ensuring that whether you choose a classic, contemporary, or bespoke finish, your timber floor will not only look exceptional but will also withstand the rigours of time, maintaining its elegance and structural integrity for generations.
LATEST TECHNOLOGY
Ecoshield has produced the world's first water-based Polycarbonate coating, Carbon Coat, designed to outperform traditional Polyurethane.
Polycarbonate is renowned for its clarity and exceptional durability, making it ideal for applications like bulletproof glass and aircraft windshields. Carbon Coat is the most scratch-resistant water-based clear coat available today.
Additionally, we've created a completely non-toxic hardener with no odor. Unlike most two-pack additives that contain isocyanates, can pose significant health risks, our Diamond Link Hardener is entirely isocyanate-free.
WHY CHOOSE WATER-BASED
The discerning choice between traditional solvent-based coatings and modern water-based alternatives for your timber floors hinges critically on the presence and emission of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). This fundamental difference has profound implications for both environmental impact and, more importantly, human health.
Traditional polyurethane coatings, while offering robust protection, are notorious for releasing a significant volume of harmful solvents into the air as they cure and dry. These VOCs are potent airborne chemicals that can linger, contributing to poor indoor air quality, posing potential health risks to occupants, and emitting an unpleasant, often noxious, odour that necessitates vacating the premises.
In stark contrast, water-based coatings represent a revolutionary leap forward in flooring technology. As these innovative finishes dry, the primary substance released into the atmosphere is simply water. This dramatically reduces, and in many cases virtually eliminates, the emission of harmful VOCs, making them an unequivocally safer and healthier choice for both applicators and those who will inhabit the space.
Ecoshield stands at the forefront of this commitment to health and environmental responsibility. Our advanced water-based formulations are meticulously engineered to deliver exceptionally low VOC content. This translates into tangible benefits: the oppressive and potentially hazardous solvent fumes associated with conventional finishes are a thing of the past. There is no longer a need to disrupt your life or business by vacating the premises during application, as the air remains remarkably clear and free from noxious odours. Furthermore, by choosing Ecoshield, you effectively alleviate the legitimate concerns about the long-term health risks associated with exposure to toxic chemicals, providing peace of mind and contributing to a healthier living or working environment.
