Coating Options – UV-Cured Non UV-Cured

What are UV-cured Coatings?

After a floor is sanded (see our process), three coats of finish are applied. A UV machine is used to dry, or ‘cure’, the coating – literally at the speed of light! A specific kind of finish is required to use with the UV Curing machine. We have 3 options you can choose from.

Floor Coating Options Explained

Option 1: NO RUSH

The first option is our ‘NO RUSH’ finish. This is our lowest cost option as there is no UV Curing. This option is for the budget-conscious. It is a two-pack water-based polyurethane.

Option 2: HOME HYBRID

This is our most popular option. The middle coat is UV-cured. It has no toxic smell, and you’ll be able to move back in the very next day. We recommend this option for most people because it is a great balance between cost and durability.

Option 3: UV RUSH

If you are looking for the most durable option, this is it. It offers the best durability and you can move in immediately because both the middle and last coats are cured instantly with industrial UV lights. It is the toughest, most scratch-resistant coating for timber floors today. No other coating can compare to this. If you want the best, you have found it. It ticks all the boxes. It’s natural, non-toxic, has no smell and is hard as nails.If you have any questions regarding our coating options, please feel free to get in touch.

  • Faster curing time: UV-cured polyurethane is cured instantly with the use of UV light, while water-based polyurethane can take 7-10 days to fully cure.
  • More durable: UV-cured polyurethane is more resistant to scratches, wear and tear, and chemicals than water-based polyurethane, making it a better choice for high-traffic areas.
  • Better for the environment: UV-cured polyurethane does not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it a more environmentally friendly option.
  • Clearer finish: UV-cured polyurethane has a clearer and more natural-looking finish compared to water-based polyurethane, which can sometimes have a slightly cloudy appearance.
  • Long-lasting: UV-cured polyurethane lasts longer than water-based polyurethane and requires less maintenance and reapplication.
  • Better for exotic wood species: UV-cured polyurethane is less likely to yellow, making it a better choice for exotic wood species that are sensitive to discolouration.
In conclusion, UV-cured polyurethane has several advantages over water-based polyurethane, including faster drying time, greater durability, better environmental friendliness, clearer finish, longer-lasting, and suitability for exotic wood species. These benefits make UV-cured polyurethane an excellent choice for those who want a high-quality, long-lasting, and low-maintenance finish for their floors or other wood surfaces.Get a quote today or contact us for more information.

I am extremely happy with the work done by Mark and his staff. I had to reschedule the polishing of my kitchen floor and this was easily arranged to suit my installation schedule. He arrived when he said he would, provided me with excellent advice, and went about sanding and polishing a complicated layout very professionally. I don't often write reviews but the quality of this work well and truly warrants a review.

Mark and Konnor came and did a fantastic job in a speedy timely fashion.

Thanks to Brisbane Timber Floors, Mark and Konnor came and did a fantastic job in a speedy timely fashion. We had been let down by another company previously. But Brisbane Timber floors came in and saved me a lot of time.They are both friendly and courteous professionals. Thanks again to Mark and Konnor.

- David Maher

Their recommendations for colour and process to achieve the effect we wanted was spot on.

We wanted a good job for a reasonable price and Brisbane Timber Floors far exceeded our expectations and hopes. Other firms we had dealt with were just not reliable. BTF turned up promptly on the day we wanted them, did the job to a high degree of perfection and left the place tidy. Their recommendations for colour and process to achieve the effect we wanted was spot on. We thoroughly recommend Brisbane Timber Floors. Perhaps the only slight negative would be that the smell from the process takes a while to go - so it would be best to leave the property to air for as long as possible

- John M
