09 MAR

Help, we’re in a rush. We need a fast dry, low odour, water based flooring product! Aquatech 1k Water Based flooring to the rescue!

When it comes to interior design, few elements offer the consistent appeal and aesthetic that timber floors do. They infuse character and charm into living spaces while serving as a foundation for the entire look of the space. However, when it comes to revitalizing timber floors, the challenge often lies in finding the right balance between visual transformation and practical considerations such as drying time, odour, and environmental impact.

This is where Superior Timber Coatings has assisted amidst the flurry of a rushed renovations and urgent makeover. Superior Timber Coatings, suppliers of ILVA, bring forth a revolutionary answer: the Ilva Aquatech 1K Water Based Flooring System.

A Swift Transformation on Baltic Pine

Consider a recent project undertaken, where the unique strengths of ILVA’s water-based coatings came to the forefront. A Largs Bay home, poised for an imminent auction, demanded a swift and stunning transformation. The existing Baltic Pine flooring required a makeover that aligned with the vision of Fiona, the owner of the property.

With a determination to infuse a light, beach boho theme into the space, Fiona turned to Ilva’s Aquastain “Limed White” and a protective coat of Ilva’s Aquatech 1k Water Based Flooring “Matt” topcoat. The objective was clear : a clean, clear finish but with a tight timeline to contend with, the coating’s quick-drying attributes were of paramount importance.

Style and Functionality

Fiona, shared her experience, “Using whites opens and freshens the space, leaving the focus on some key pieces of furniture as the feature for colour. We were on a tight time frame to make over this house and there were concerns from the start that the flooring varnish would leave an odour for the open inspections. The Ilva finishes we chose were anything but that, and we were walking on the floorboards and operating in the space the next day as we still had a lot of work to do.”

The harmony achieved by the Aquatech 1K Water Based Flooring system is a testament to ILVA’s commitment to quality and innovation. The water-based formula not only delivers a remarkable finish but also ensures low VOC emissions, making it safe for both occupants and the environment. With the spotlight on sustainability, ILVA’s coatings align perfectly with the evolving sensibilities of conscientious homeowners.

The Unveiling

“After we stained the floor, we waited a day then applied the topcoat. It rolled on easily and it leveled out quickly and very effectively. At the openings, the floors were a key point of discussion because the long hallway was the first thing you saw. The brightness and clarity of the stain were really clean and crisp, and the matt finish brought it all together,” revealed Fiona.

In essence, Superior Timber Coatings, powered by ILVA, has reshaped the landscape of timber floor restoration. It has transformed rushed timelines into opportunities for brilliance and has woven practicality seamlessly into design dreams. From Baltic Pine to a myriad of timber species, the Aquatech 1k Flooring system stands as an example to the potential of Italian interior coatings in modern interior design.

ILVA bridges the gap between form and function, and their Aquatech 1K Water Based Flooring System is the beacon of innovation for those seeking a swift, stunning, and sustainable transformation for their timber floors. It’s not just a coating; it’s a masterpiece that blends the artistry of design with the practicality of modern living.
