Water Based Floor Varnish
Auro 267 Natural Floor Varnish is a natural, non toxic alternative to conventional floor varnishes. This water based floor varnish is specially formulated to minimise VOC emissions without compromising on performance. It provides a beautiful, hardwearing finish with none of the harsh smells of conventional varnishes.
This non toxic floor varnish is suitable for all domestic interior wooden floors, including hardwood floors, with normal constant use. It is anti-static, slip resistant and abrasion resistant.
The varnish dries clear, although has a milky appearance when applied. We recommend that you use Auro 127 Natural Wood Primer or Auro 117 Special Woods Primer (depending on the wood type) as this varnish needs a primer for correct finish. When any kind of varnish is applied to wood it can affect the final colour due to absorbtion and other factors and using a varnish will help mitigate this.
Auro 267 floor varnish is best applied by short haired varnish roller and with a brush for the floor corners and edges.

Further Information:
Natural products are neither odourless nor emission-free. The use of organic, natural and plant based ingredients means that allergy and asthma sufferers and people who are chemically sensitive are much more able to tolerate Auro products, however they may cause allergic reactions in some.
