Morrells' lacquer range centres on the Induro system — a general-purpose sealer plus XL1 and XL2 varnishes for domestic through commercial use — alongside small aerosol cans for spot repairs.
Induro XL1: Fast-Drying, Self-Levelling Varnish
Induro XL1 is a highly durable, fast-drying, anti-bacterial water-based varnish with strong clarity and non-yellowing properties. It's self-levelling and ready to use straight from the tin, resistant to abrasion, scuffs and spillage, and designed for all solid and engineered wood flooring under light to medium traffic. It's available across four sheens — Extra Matt, Semi-Matt, Satin and Gloss.
Induro XL2: 2K Technology for Commercial Use
Induro XL2 steps up to a two-component (2K) system, described as extremely tough yet flexible, aimed at commercial properties with outstanding chemical and abrasion resistance. Like XL1, it gives a clear, non-yellowing dry film and is available in the same four sheens — Extra Matt, Semi-Matt, Satin and Gloss — making it the choice where XL1's light-to-medium traffic rating isn't enough for the space.
General Purpose Sealer: A Base Coat for Stripped Floors
Induro General Purpose Waterbased Sealer is used on all solid and engineered wood flooring, and is particularly suited to stripped or refurbished floors. It enhances the natural grain of the wood and provides an optimum base for the Induro lacquers applied over it, with a high degree of edge-bonding to help the topcoat adhere evenly.
Aerosol Lacquers for Spot Repairs
For small touch-ups rather than a full recoat, Morrells' aerosol lacquers (400ml) come in Satin, Satin-Matt and Matt finishes, letting a small scuffed or damaged area be refreshed and blended into the surrounding floor without opening a full 5L can.
Common Questions About Morrells Floor Lacquers
Should I choose Induro XL1 or XL2?
XL1 suits light-to-medium traffic domestic and general flooring. XL2 is a two-component system aimed at commercial properties, offering greater chemical and abrasion resistance for heavier use.
Do I need the General Purpose Sealer before applying Induro lacquer?
It's particularly recommended on stripped or refurbished floors, where it improves grain enhancement and gives the topcoat a better base to bond to. On a straightforward recoat, check the specific product's guidance.
What are the aerosol lacquers used for?
They're aimed at small, localised repairs — touching up a scuff or minor damage without needing to open and apply a full can of lacquer.
Are Induro XL1 and XL2 suitable for both solid and engineered wood?
Yes — both are designed for all solid and engineered wood flooring, differing mainly in traffic rating and durability rather than which wood type they suit.
