At VCS, we carry a full range of professional coatings that can be used with the hire machines. Our hire service is the most comprehensive for flooring in Perth with professional machines. So that you are using exactly the same machinery that would be used by a professional. We feel that it is important to have the same quality finishes applied to your floor than would be installed by a professional. It makes little sense to do all the work of sanding the timber floor only to apply a less than quality durable finish.

There is a huge difference between professional coatings and domestic rated coatings in terms of durability. The reality is that professional floors sanders use professional coatings from such prestigious companies as Bona and Osmo. They know that they can rely on the performance of these coatings. Naturally they want to have recommendations from happy clients. They know that they won’t get happy clients if the coatings that they apply wear out very quickly. They take the time to ensure that they use coatings that have an international reputation. The very best brands in the industry are manufactured in Europe mainly from Germany and Sweden.

It is extremely important to use good quality coatings on timber flooring. The difference in durability measure into several years when you compare basic coatings with high quality professional timber floor coatings.
A good example of this is the world’s leading waterborne coating made by Bona in Sweden. This coating is the most widely used coating in the world and it would be hard to think of any prestigious sporting building that doesn’t rely on bona coatings. Think of the Olympics or think of any great event and you will generally find bona coatings being used on the timber floor surfaces. One of the primary reasons for the lead that Bona products have in this field is the fact that they have been working in the industry for many years.

In fact while most people think of waterborne coatings as being relatively new, Bona were an early adapters beginning at least 20 years before their competitors to bring serious products to the marketplace. When we first introduced these products into WA there were a lot of sceptics who thought that we would never achieve this level of market penetration. In reality however we have seen a huge take-up in the use of waterborne technology. Most homeowners want their timber floors to remain as natural a color as possible when they are sanded.
Another excellent example of a company that manufacturers high quality products is Osmo from Germany. Osmo manufacture Hardwax oils, which are durable oil formulations that both feed and nourish the timber and at the same time they provide a durable hardwearing surface. They give a unique look and feel and the timber doesn’t appear to have a plastic coating on the surface of the wood. Over the years, many of us have got used to seeing plastic being used as a coating on top of timber. Polyurethane is a familiar durable plastic and of course polyurethane is used and has been used in the timber flooring industry for many, many years.

More and more people looking at durable hard wax oils, as an option for their timber. Of course, not all hard wax oils are necessarily durable. Suggesting that they are all the same would be like saying that all cars are created equal when we all know that that is simply not true. Sometimes it’s hard to tell when you look at the packaging of hard wax oils. The reality is that Osmo leads the field in being the most robust and durable products, which is why you will find the true professionals in the industry in Australia using Osmo.

We supply SiegelCoat 2K, Enviropro, Toby Coatings, Bona & OSMO as well as decking oils. In fact we have the best coatings available in Australia under one roof.
