? Technical Specifications & Methodology

• Initial Prep & Flattening: Heavy architectural cuts completed utilizing the industry-standard Lägler Hummel belt sander to eliminate existing finishes, surface imperfections, and minor overwood, creating a completely level canvas.

• Bespoke Color Engineering: To achieve a modern, neutral tone that enhances the organic character of the wood without yellowing, a custom site-applied formula was developed mixing 6 parts Bona DriFast Stain Birch with 1 part Bona DriFast Stain Cocoa.

• Grain Protection: Application of premium Bona Sealer to lock in the custom 6:1 color profile, control tannin bleed, and stabilize the wood cells.

• Wear Layer Specification: Complete surface protection consisting of two heavy coats of Bona Traffic GO (Matte Finish). This waterborne commercial-grade finish provides supreme durability and scratch resistance while maintaining an invisible, ultra-low-sheen natural look.
