Bespoke Finishing
The Finishing Touch: Selecting the Ideal Protection for Your Timber Floor
Understand the unique characteristics, benefits, and considerations of Hardwax Oil and UV Lacquer finishes to perfectly complement your bespoke timber floor.
The finish applied to your engineered timber floor does more than just protect the wood; it significantly influences its final appearance, feel, and maintenance requirements. At Bespoke Timber Coatings, we offer two premium finishing options, applied expertly in our facility as part of our custom coating process: traditional Hardwax Oil and modern UV-cured Lacquer. Choosing the right one depends on your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance expectations.
Colour Lab
Tailored Tones for Every Vision
Our Colour Lab is where creativity meets craftsmanship. We work closely with you to create or match a custom colour that perfectly complements your interior concept. From subtle neutrals to rich, bold hues, every tone is tested for clarity, consistency, and beauty on real timber samples. This process ensures your floor becomes an integral part of your design—not just a surface, but a statement.
Finish Options
Find Your Perfect Feel and Look
We offer a curated range of finish types to match your style, performance needs, and maintenance preferences. Choose from the natural warmth of hardwax oils, the enhanced durability of UV-cured lacquers, or other specialty options. Each finish offers a different sheen level, texture, and tactile experience—so you can fine-tune both the appearance and the feel of your floor.
Coating Process
Precision Meets Protection
Our coating process is carried out in a controlled environment to ensure optimal results. From base sealing to the final layer, every step is executed with precision using high-quality European products. This ensures deep penetration, even coverage, and long-term durability. Whether you prefer a raw, matte look or a refined, satin sheen, our process guarantees a beautiful and lasting finish.
