Mylands Mylac Lacquer is a professional-quality, water-based wood floor lacquer designed to provide a durable, hard-wearing finish on interior hardwood and softwood floors. Its polyurethane and acrylic co-polymer formulation offers good resistance to common household liquid spillages while providing a slip-resistant surface.
Low odour and fast drying, Mylac is suitable for domestic and some commercial environments. It is easy to apply and can be used on new timber floors or previously finished floors that have been correctly prepared.
Available in Matt and Satin finishes, Mylands Mylac Lacquer is an excellent choice for protecting wooden floors while retaining their natural appearance.
Mylac Lacquer is suitable for interior hardwood floors, providing a protective finish that helps withstand everyday use. It is particularly useful in domestic areas where a durable, easy-to-maintain surface is required.
The lacquer can also be applied to interior softwood floors. Proper preparation is important to achieve an even finish and good adhesion.
Mylac can be applied over a sound existing finish, provided all traces of wax, polish, grease and other contamination have been removed. Always carry out a test application first to check adhesion.
When applying Mylac over an existing finish, it is essential to prepare the floor carefully:
White spirit evaporates slowly and may take several hours to dry, particularly in the joints between floorboards. If adhesion is doubtful, sand the floor back to bare timber and prepare it as a new floor.
If you want to change the colour of your timber before lacquering, Mylands Light Fast Stains can be used beneath Mylac Lacquer. Ensure the stain is completely dry before applying the lacquer.
The manufacturer recommends the following number of coats according to the level of use:
Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Do not apply or allow the lacquer to dry in temperatures below 15°C.
Mylands Mylac Lacquer is available in two sheen levels:
Matt provides a more understated, low-sheen appearance, helping to retain the natural look of wooden flooring.
Satin gives the floor a gentle sheen while maintaining a natural-looking finish.
Regular maintenance will help keep your lacquered floor looking its best.
Mylac Lacquer is designed for interior wood floors and is not suitable for areas where regular contact with water is experienced, such as bathrooms.
Although it provides good resistance to common household liquid spillages, standing water should not be allowed to remain on the lacquered surface.
