Hardwax Oil is an innovative hardwood flooring finish that consists of 3 layers of wax oil produced from natural components. Among the main ingredients of Hardwax Oil are organic oil, the wax of Carnauba palm tree and other natural components. Hardwax Oil is an oxidative finish and it dries out on open air. In Hardwax Oil finish, oil easily penetrates into wood pores, deeply saturating the wood, strengthening and protecting it from ill effects of moisture, dirt etc. Waxes create a hard protective film on the wood surface. Aside from moisture defense, they protect the floor surface from wearing. Hardwood floors with Hardwax Oil finish easily absorb moisture and release it back into the air, thus helping to ensure a healthy atmosphere in the room. Along with wire brushing technique, Hardwax Oil finish emphasizes natural texture and beauty of oak. Pores appear “open”, visually preserving the depth of texture and relief. Floor surface is warm and pleasant to touch, like that of natural untreated wood. Deep saturation in natural oil and surface wax film are the two features of Hardwax Oil finish.

Hardwax Oil finish has a soft matte sheen, much like that of natural wood. Following finish renewal or re-waxing of the floor, the sheen level temporarily increases but returns to normal within a few days. A surface film that consists of hard wax of Carnauba palm tree gives the finish its high wear resistance – much higher than that of traditional oiled floors. In areas that receive most traffic, Hard Wax finish should be periodically rebuilt. Coswick Hardwax Oil restorative cleaner contains up to 10% wax, and, in addition to cleaning the floor surface, ensures renewal of worn-down layers of Hardwax Oil.
