Bona's hardwax oil range here splits into two lines — clear Hardwax Oil for a natural finish, and coloured Craft Oil 2K for changing the wood's tone while adding extra surface protection.
Hardwax Oil: Silk and Matt
Bona Hardwax Oil, available in Silk and Matt sheens, is a balanced blend of natural oils and waxes for treating untreated wooden floors and other interior woodwork. It both impregnates the wood and forms a durable surface film with strong resistance to water and spills. It can also be combined with a coloured version of Bona Craft Oil where a colour change is wanted alongside the protective finish.
Craft Oil 2K: Colour with Added Protection
Bona Craft Oil 2K is a two-component oil available in five colours — Graphite, Umbra, Clay, Sand and Neutral Light. It keeps the natural, "soft" look and feel of an oiled floor while adding extra surface protection compared to a standard hardwax oil, made from a modified plant-based formula. For floors needing even greater durability later on, Craft Oil 2K can be overcoated with any version of Bona Traffic, making it a flexible option if a floor's expected use changes down the line.
