Using Bona NordicSeal to Create a Whitewashed Hardwood Floor

Ever since “greige” became a big trend, people have been trying to lighten up their homes. NordicSeal is an easy to use water-based sealer from Bona which you can use it to achieve this popular whitewashed look. This two-toned look is great for kitchens, beach houses, and anywhere else you would like to achieve a light, airy feel. 

NordicSeal helps to reduce any reactions with tannins. It also helps with side bonding, has good penetration, and allows you to build your top coats with integrity. It seals the wood while pigmenting it, and allows your finish to sit nicely on top.

It’s Important to keep a wet edge when applying NordicSeal––use a roller or t-bar. It only takes about two to three hours to dry.

Stop/start marks and turn marks will show because of the pigmentation in the sealer, so make sure to feather them out.

You’ll want to put down two coats of Bona NordicSeal. For the second coat, follow the same process as the first.

Then, quickly buff down the coats to remove any grain raise––make sure not to remove too much of the pigmentation from the sealer.

You just want to get it smooth and ready for a top coat and then apply your water-based finish as normal.

Since NordicSeal is water-based, it’s virtually odorless. In fact, NordicSeal is GREENGUARD Certified for Indoor Air Quality, making it a great alternative to other, more caustic options for whitewashing floors.

If you’re looking to create a whitewashed look in your hardwood floors, look no further than Bona NordicSeal to help you start the project off right. You can rely on NordicSeal for outstanding durability, a quick and easy application, and a great foundation for a whitewashed look.
