Our Solvent Based Floor Finishes
Synteko’s focus has been to produce quality products from the most sophisticated architect and designers to the most experienced floor sanders and finishes. Synteko’s high standard means that the company does not manufacture the cheapest or widest range of products. Synteko produces proven quality products that enhance the natural beauty whilst leaving behind a durable, long-lasting, beautiful floor finish that will completely satisfy you.

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 solvent-based finish can match. Synteko’s Classic system provides a unique combination of durability, scratch and scuff resistance, clarity and grain definition. The Classic system also provides unsurpassed beauty, bringing out the natural colour of your wood floor.

The Classic advantages to you, the home owner, is a sophisticated product that can be coated over all new timber floors i.l.o tungoil based finishes without the incidence of edge bonding or rejection. This is commonly experienced with oily timbers such as Brushbox .In addition a further advantage is the low maintenance cost that you are accustomed to 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. No need to apply acrylic type waxes on a monthly basis.
When the Synteko Classic system begins to show signs of wear it can be simply re-coated without re-sanding to bare wood.
