Solvent based timber floor finishes are extremely toxic and place home owners and contractors at serious health risk.

There are two basic types of floor coating finishes available for use on timber. Solvent based or water-based. Solvent-based timber floor coatings are toxic and carry serious health risks, as well as being harmful to the environment. Water-based coatings are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Bona Sweden pioneered the development of water-based floor finishes in 1979 and is now the recognised world leader in non-toxic water-based coatings for timber floors. Choosing a non-toxic water-based finish will protect your health.
