in it.
Your new Cork Concepts floor will be coated with Bona Waterbourne Polyurethane. Bona is the world leader in products for the installation, finishing, care and maintenance of wooden and cork flooring.
Bona has an odour but is an environmentally friendly non toxic product that provides excellent wear, scratch and scuff resistance.
Below you will find recommendations on how best to keep your Cork Concepts floor looking good now and into the future.
· A floor coated with Bona is usually “touch” dry within 2-3 hours. However the floor coating is still curing at this stage.
· As a general rule wait 8 hours after the application of the top coat before walking into the room. Your floor can receive light foot traffic at this stage.
· Wait at least 72 hours before moving in furniture and exposing the floor to full use.
· Do not cover, place mats or use maintenance products on your floor for two weeks after application.
· Excess moisture on the floor should be avoided at all times. Remove spillages immediately.
· Remember to put protective pads on the feet of all furniture to avoid marks.
· Placing of mats at the entrance door is important. A mat placed externally and internally will remove dirt, grit and moisture from the feet of people entering your home. This will prevent material scratching and wearing away the finish film.
· Dirt and grit can be removed with a vacuum cleaner but your floor will need a more thorough clean from time to time.
· To ensure the long life of your cork flooring, always use Bona’s cleaning and maintenance products. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Bona Cleaner is a concentrate which you dilute with warm water. 50 mls cleaner per 10 litres of water for regular cleaning. Apply using a moist cloth or mop. Bona Wood Floor Cleaner is a diluted spray product applied directly to the floor and wiped clean using a mop or blue microfibre pad.
Following these guidelines and using Bona maintenance products for your Cork floor will help to extend the lifetime of your floor and bring out the best in it.
