Synteko produces proven quality products that enhance the natural beauty of the timber floor whilst leaving behind a durable, long-lasting, beautiful floor finish that will completely satisfy you and your customer.
For the last 50 years, Synteko’s Swedish finish, known as “Classic” has withstood the test of time and set the benchmark for excellence that no other floor finish can match. Synteko’s Classic system provides a unique combination of durability with clarity and grain definition. The Classic system also provides unsurpassed beauty, bringing out the natural colour of your wood floor in addition to scratch and scuff resistance properties.
The Classic advantages to you, the Architect/Designer and professional contractor, is a sophisticated product that can be coated over all new timber floors in lieu of polyurethane, oil modified, Tung oil based finishes without the incidence of edge bonding or rejection commonly experienced with oily timbers. In addition a further advantage is the low maintenance cost associated with polyurethane type finishes. If surface scratches are made in the topcoat they are less visible than other finishes and less likely to chip or peel away. Most importantly it enhances the natural colour and beauty of Australian timber flooring. No need to apply acrylic type waxes on a monthly basis. There is even an aerosol touch-up can available. When the Synteko Classic system begins to show signs of wear it can be simply re-coated without re-sanding to bare wood as it bonds to itself very effectively, forming one coat.
The Synteko Classic Swedish system is engineered to provide maximum durability whilst maintaining the natural timber appearance that Classic has come to be known for.
Synteko has also high a high solid, oil-modified floor finish called Urethane. This product is unique for its use of superior high quality alkyd resin compared to all other competitors’ products.

This floor finish is renowned for its depth of beauty and because of its very high solid content, is extremely durable, especially when compared to traditional oil finishes in Australia. Synteko Urethane is a universal product enabling it to be used on any species of timber floor. Urethane gives the timber floor finish richness of colour while offering maximum protection. As Urethane is its own sealer, it only requires two coats in many situations. Thus making Urethane an economical product per square meter per litre.
