WOCA Oils for Wood Floors

WOCA oiled finished boards and unfinished boards using WOCA Master Oils and Coloured Oil All of our Natural Oiled Pre-finished boards have WOCA Master Oil Natural applied to them at the factory. The WOCA oxidising Master oil is a penetrating wood oil system. The Master Oil actually penetrates the surface, compared to other oils such as surface oils and lacquer type systems. The master oil actually cures within the wood, hardening and protecting the floor leaving a beautiful natural open pore surface. WOCA treatment oils were the obvious choice for the very high traffic Euro star project in St Pancras which was opened by the Queen in November 2007. WOCA Master Oils were chosen because of the worldwide reputation of successfully treated high traffic projects including Copenhagen Airport, where nearly 20,000 square meters were laid and then treated with WOCA Master Oils over 25 years ago. This has been maintained ever since with the WOCA Maintenance Products and the floor still looks magnificent. If you wish to treat our unfinished oak boards to achieve the natural look, just use the WOCA Master Oil Natural.

For a White Sanded looking board you should use the WOCA Master Oil White. If you wish to produce this finish there are two solutions. You could either use the WOCA Master Oil White, or if you think this is too light then simply mix the Master Oil White 50/50 with the Master Oil Natural.

WOCA Master Oil Application
The application procedures are simple, and the Master Oil is to be applied to a pre-sanded floor (100/120 grit abrasion). All of our unfinished boards have this finish. If the floor is dirty or marked with grease or stains by the flooring fitters, you should first treat the floor with the WOCA Wood Cleaner. This will relieve the floor of dirt and grease therefore avoiding sealing it into the floor during the curing process of the oils.

Shake/stir the container well before and during the oiling process, then apply the oil to the floor with a short haired paint-roller in an even coat (see guidelines on the reverse of the container). Leave the oil to be absorbed for 5-10 minutes, and then polish the oiled area until the floor appears saturated. The floor should not appear wet and there should be no excess oil left on the surface after polishing. If you wish to achieve a more silk-mat surface, the finished floor can be buffed with 100ml of Master Oil to 15m2 of floor. This is done after the pre-hardening time and the oil must be polished carefully into the floor. DO NOT expose the floor to water during the hardening process. Go and see it for yourself at: St Pancras International, Pancras Road, London NW1 2QP

WOCA Coloured Master Oils and Wood Lyes
Woodcare Denmark can offer a wide range of coloured oils to allow you to obtain virtually any colour, some examples are shown in this section of the Brochure. When using softwood lyes it opens the grain and pulls the tannins out of the wood, this will darken Oak and when you apply Coloured master oils such as the Brazil Brown you get a deep rich dark brown colour. You can see the contrast on some of our unfinished boards from pre colour white with White master oil to the dark Brazil brown where softwood lye has been applied first, or to when we have just applied Brazil Brown on its own. The range of colours available is too numerous to mention here. We are happy to apply them to samples and then send them free of charge to your office or home. Alternatively you can see a variety of Woca master oils and coloured oils applied to our unfinished boards at the building centre.
