Surface Preparation:

3. A suitable dust mask should be worn while sanding.
4. Allow any dust to settle then vacuum the floor to remove any dust or debris.
5. Fill in any holes or surface imperfections using Everbuild Multi-Purpose Wood Filler.

Existing varnished floors:

1. Should be thoroughly sanded using 120 grade abrasive paper to provide a key for the varnish to be applied.
2. Floors should be vacuumed, wiped down with white spirit and allowed to dry.
3. Any existing varnish in poor condition should be completely removed prior to application.

Floor Varnish Application:

FAQs About Everbuild Quick Drying Clear Gloss Varnish – 2.5 Litre

1. What types of wood surfaces can this varnish be used on?
This varnish is specifically designed for use on all interior wooden surfaces, including hardwood, softwood, and engineered wood. It is ideal for floors, where its durable and protective qualities shine, but it can also be applied to furniture, trims, skirting boards, doors, and wooden panelling. Its clear gloss finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain, making it suitable for both modern and traditional interiors. Whether you're protecting a newly installed wood floor or revitalizing old furniture, this varnish delivers exceptional results.

2. Can I use this varnish on previously varnished surfaces?
Yes, the Everbuild Quick Drying Clear Gloss Varnish can be applied over existing varnish. However, to achieve the best results, lightly sand the surface beforehand. This step helps to remove any imperfections, such as scratches or uneven areas, while also providing a key for the new varnish to adhere to. Always ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or dust before application to avoid any blemishes in the final finish.

3. How many coats should I apply for the best results?
To achieve optimal durability and a flawless, glossy finish, it is recommended to apply 2–3 coats. The first coat acts as a sealant, filling the pores of the wood and creating a smooth base. Additional coats build up the gloss and enhance the protective qualities of the varnish. Make sure each coat is fully dry before applying the next. This layering process not only ensures a professional-grade finish but also extends the life of the wooden surface.

4. How long does it take to dry?
The varnish dries to the touch within 2–4 hours under normal indoor conditions, such as a well-ventilated area at room temperature. However, it’s essential to allow the final coat to cure for at least 24 hours before subjecting the surface to heavy use, such as foot traffic or furniture placement. This curing time ensures that the varnish hardens fully, maximizing its durability and resistance to wear. For lighter tasks, the surface can often be handled carefully within 6–8 hours after application.

5. How much area does a 2.5-litre tin cover?
A 2.5-litre tin typically covers between 40–50m² per coat, depending on the type of wood and its porosity. Highly absorbent wood may require more varnish, while smoother or denser wood will allow the product to spread further. When planning your project, calculate the area you need to cover and consider the recommended 2–3 coats to ensure you purchase enough varnish for a consistent and high-quality finish.

6. Is this varnish suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, the ultra-hardwearing formula of this varnish makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas. It is designed to resist the constant wear and tear caused by foot traffic, making it ideal for spaces such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. Its scratch-resistant and stain-resistant properties ensure that your floors maintain their glossy appearance even in the busiest parts of your home or office. With proper application, it provides long-lasting protection and keeps your wooden surfaces looking polished.

7. Is it water-resistant?
Absolutely. The varnish forms a tough, water-resistant barrier on the surface of the wood, protecting it from moisture, spills, and stains. While it is not a substitute for waterproofing in areas with consistent water exposure, such as bathrooms or kitchens with excessive dampness, it provides reliable protection for floors and surfaces subject to occasional spills or cleaning. Regular maintenance and prompt cleaning of spills will further prolong the life and appearance of the varnished surface.

8. How do I clean tools after application?
Cleaning tools after using this varnish is simple and straightforward. Since the varnish is water-based, brushes, rollers, and applicators can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water. It’s essential to clean tools immediately after use to prevent the varnish from drying on them. If dried varnish remains, you may need a dedicated cleaning solution to remove it effectively. Taking care of your tools ensures they remain in excellent condition for future projects.

9. Does this varnish emit strong odours during application?

No, the water-based formula is low odour, making it a much more pleasant option compared to traditional solvent-based varnishes. This feature makes it ideal for use in indoor spaces, including family homes and offices, without the need for extensive ventilation. It dries quickly, so any mild odour dissipates rapidly, allowing you to enjoy your newly varnished surface without lingering fumes.
