When it comes to coverage, the first application of Blanchon Smoked Oak typically covers 20 to 25 square meters per liter per coat. For maintenance purposes, the coverage ranges from 20 to 35 square meters per liter per coat.
Application Guidelines
Blanchon Smoked Oak is ready to use and does not require any mixing. Before application, it is important to shake the product well. It should not be diluted, and the temperature during application should be above 12°C. Adequate ventilation is also necessary, and plants and aquariums should not be in contact with the solvent vapours.
To apply Blanchon Smoked Oak, it is recommended to use a silk brush, graining brush, smooth spatula (not toothed), or a short-haired roller. The product should be applied in the direction of the wood grain. Regularly wipe the surface with a clean cotton cloth in a circular movement, or use a buffing machine fitted with a soft beige or white pad, or a polishing machine fitted with soft brushes. Working on one small area at a time makes buffing easier.
The coat applied should be thin, covering approximately 20 to 25 square meters per liter per coat. Buffing as you apply ensures an attractive and even finish, with deep penetration into the wood without excess surface residue. Wait for 8 to 12 hours before applying the second coat, following the same process as the first coat. For maximum protection, it is possible to apply one final coat of Hard Waxoil natural or satin (colourless) over two coats of coloured Hard Waxoil.
Maintenance and Cleaning
To maintain the beauty of wood surfaces treated with Blanchon Smoked Oak, regular dust removal is essential using a brush or vacuum cleaner. Stains and marks can be easily removed with a neutral detergent and a damp mop or cloth (avoid soaking wet ones).
For routine cleaning, dilute Blanchon Natural Soap for oiled wood floors (250 ml to 10 litres of water) and wipe with a damp mop. Rinse the micro-fibre mop or cloth regularly and ensure it is well wrung out to avoid excessive moisture on the wood floor. The frequency of routine cleaning can vary from once a week on light-traffic floors to daily cleaning on heavy-traffic floors. Blanchon Natural Soap is 100% natural and helps thoroughly clean and protect waxed/oiled wood floors.
Regular maintenance involves using Blanchon Maintenance Oil to obtain a matte finish. After ensuring the waxed/oiled floor is clean and dust-free, spray Maintenance Oil using a hand sprayer and wipe with a clean, dry cotton cloth. This process can be made quicker and easier with a buffing machine fitted with a beige pad or a polishing machine with three revolving brushes. The frequency of regular maintenance is typically once or twice a month, depending on when the waxed/oiled wood floor loses its beautiful finish.
