Surface Preparation
Surfaces must first be dry, clean, free of dirt, grease and other surface contamination including previous coatings. Ultimafloor can only be applied to bare wood surfaces or wood surfaces previously finished with Ultimafloor or a solvent or waterborne floor varnish in good condition. ALL other finishes MUST be completely and thoroughly removed. Always clean meticulously with a vacuum cleaner after each sanding, including any dust traps (skirting, radiators, pipes, window sills, etc).
Sand the wooden floor using an appropriate system and abrasive grades, depending on condition of surface and wood species. Cracks of 2 mm wide or less should be filled with Lianfloor and sanding resumed with 80 or 100 grit paper depending on the last grit used.
Finish with a finishing grade up to grit No. 120 or 150 depending on the wood species and the thickness of the wear layer.
Surface preparation for new wood surfaces
First degrease the surface with denatured alcohol, acetone or a similar solvent based product. Then prepare and sand the surface as instructed above.
Surface preparation for previously treated surfaces (oiled or polished)
Previously oiled or polished surfaces should be dry stripped. After stripping degrease the surface with with denatured alcohol, acetone, white (mineral) spirit or a similar solvent based product. then prepare and sand the surface as instructed above.
Surface preparation for previously varnished surfaces in good condition
First clean the floor meticulously. Repeat the procedure if required. Sand the surface with grit No. 100 or 120 to remove any surface imperfections and dull the existing finish. Meticulously vacuum the surface.
Surface preparation for previously treated surfaces in poor condition
First remove any existing finish by sanding or stripping. After stripping degrease the surface with denatured alcohol, acetone, white (mineral) spirit or a similar solvent based product. Then prepare and sand the surface as instructed above.
Priming the floor
Next prime all bare wood surfaces with Primafloor following the application instructions.
Mixing Instructions

Add 1 part Durcisseur UFL* to 10 parts Ultimafloor. Carefully mix the two products with a helical mixer or paddle, for a minimum of 2 minutes then leave to stand for 5 minutes. Use the mixed product within 4 hours
Applying Ultimafloor
Facing the light and starting opposite the door so as to work towards it, apply a first even and generous coat of Ultimafloor. Always maintain a wet edge to avoid overlaps. Start with a brush at the edges, and then do the remaining surface with a roller, working in areas of 2 m by 2 m. Do 3 criss-cross passes in one application.
Allow the floor to dry for 5 hours depending on the ambient conditions. Sand the floor (grit No. 150 to 180) to dull the surface and aid the adhesion of the 2nd coat. Apply a 2nd coat of Ultimafloor in the same way as the first. Do not leave more than 12 hours between application of the 1st and 2nd coat.
