Finishing a floor is a bit like cooking: the ingredients matter, but the order matters just as much. Chimiver gives you the building blocks for a proper system, from preparation and priming through to the final coat and aftercare. You’ll find Chimiver in Floor Varnishes & Stains, with supporting products also appearing in Floor Cleaning and General Cleaning. If you’re comparing water based floor lacquers, this range is worth a look. …
What you get, in plain terms
Chimiver covers the full workflow for timber floors, plus a few extras for hard surfaces where a specialist cleaner makes life easier.
- Floor primers to prep the surface and improve consistency
- Water based floor lacquers for protective top coats
- Wood stains, including oil based wood stains, for colour work
- Gap fillers for tidying joins and imperfections before finishing
- Wood floor cleaners for routine maintenance once the job’s done
Mistakes to avoid when choosing
The classic mistake is mixing products that aren’t designed to work together, especially across primer and top coat stages. Another is skipping the cleaning and prep step before recoating, which can lead to adhesion issues or an uneven look. If you’re unsure what’s currently on the floor, it’s safer to identify the existing finish before you commit to a full system.
