How to Apply Bona Traffic HD for Best Results
To ensure optimal results with Bona Traffic HD, proper preparation and application are crucial. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieving a professional-quality finish:
1. Surface Preparation
- Before applying Bona Traffic HD, the floor must be thoroughly cleaned and sanded to remove any previous finishes, dirt, and dust.
- Use a Bona DCS buffer to smooth the surface and vacuum up any remaining particles. The floor should be dry and dust-free before proceeding.
2. Application of Bona Traffic HD
- Stir the lacquer gently to ensure uniformity.
- Use a Bona Roller to apply the first coat of Traffic HD, starting from one end of the room and working your way to the other. Apply in thin, even layers to avoid pooling or streaks.
- Allow the first coat to dry for 2-4 hours before applying a second coat.
3. Finishing Touches
- For areas with particularly heavy traffic, consider applying a third coat of Bona Traffic HD to provide extra protection.
- Once the lacquer has fully dried (after 72 hours), the floor can be exposed to full use, ensuring your wooden floors are protected for years to come.
Comparing Bona Traffic HD to Other Floor Finishes
There are many types of floor lacquers on the market, but Bona Traffic HD stands out for its combination of durability, eco-friendliness, and ease of use. Here’s how it compares to other options:
-
Traditional Oil-Based Lacquers: While oil-based lacquers offer a classic finish, they tend to yellow over time and emit strong odors due to high VOC levels. Bona Traffic HD offers the same durability without the environmental downsides.
-
Polyurethane Finishes: Polyurethane finishes are known for their durability, but they can take longer to dry and often require more intensive maintenance. Bona Traffic HD, on the other hand, dries faster and offers easy maintenance, even in high-traffic areas.
-
Shellac and Varnish: While shellac and varnish offer some protection, they’re less durable than modern lacquers like Bona Traffic HD. They’re more prone to damage from spills, scratches, and everyday wear, making them less suitable for high-traffic environments.
