Bona's system-based approach means most of their products are designed to work together — primer paired with lacquer, cleaner matched to finish type — rather than as standalone items. We stock their full range across finishing, maintenance and sanding.
Lacquers: Mega and Traffic HD
Bona Mega is a one-component, water-based lacquer that cures through exposure to air, giving much of the durability of a two-component product without the mixing step — suited to both domestic and commercial floors under heavy wear, and available across gloss, matt and extra matt sheens. Bona Traffic HD is the two-component version, mixed with a hardener before use, and Bona positions it as their fastest-drying, most durable lacquer, with normal foot traffic possible again within around 12 hours of application — a consideration worth checking against the manufacturer's own technical data sheet for specific conditions.
Hardwax Oils and Craft Oil
The Hardwax Oil range (available in silk and matt) blends natural oils and waxes into the wood, giving water and spill resistance while keeping a natural feel underfoot. Bona Craft Oil 2K, available in colours such as Graphite and Umbra, goes a step further — it keeps the look of an oiled floor while adding extra surface protection, and can be overcoated later with Bona Traffic if a floor's use changes and more durability is needed.
Primers for Bonding and Colour Effects
Bona's primer range covers two different jobs. Bona Classic UX is a bonding primer, improving adhesion for water-based Bona lacquers on light-coloured wood. Bona White Primer and Bona Amber Primer are colour-effect primers instead — White Primer builds a whitewashed, Scandinavian-style look with the level of whiteness controlled by the number of coats applied, while Amber Primer pushes the opposite way, adding a warm, rich colouration. Bona Natural Primer does neither — it's designed to preserve the wood's untreated appearance under a durable topcoat, typically paired with Bona Mega Natural or Bona Traffic Natural lacquers.
Cleaners Matched to Finish Type
Bona's cleaning range is split by finish rather than one-size-fits-all. Bona Wood Floor Cleaner is a pH-neutral spray for lacquered, laminate and hard floors. Bona Soap is a low-pH cleaner formulated specifically for oiled floors, designed to nourish the wood rather than strip the oil out over repeated use. Bona SuperSport Cleaner is a concentrated, slightly alkaline detergent built for the frequent cleaning demands of finished wooden sports floors. Bona Freshen Up goes further than routine cleaning — a waterborne maintenance coating that restores shine and adds wear resistance to a dulling floor without a full recoat.
Mops, Pads and Application Accessories
Bona's mop system pairs a dusting pad for dry removal of grit and hair with a separate cleaning pad for the wet stage, plus a dedicated refresher applicator pad for applying Freshen Up. Used in the right order — dry first, then wet — this avoids grinding dust into the finish during cleaning.
Abrasives and Buffing Pads
Alongside finishing products, we stock Bona's 407mm buffing and cleaning pads, available in several types suited to different stages of floor maintenance, from routine cleaning through to more abrasive buffing before a refresher coat.
Common Questions About Bona Products
Should I choose Bona Mega or Bona Traffic HD?
Bona Mega suits most domestic and moderate-commercial use and is simpler to apply as a one-component product. Bona Traffic HD is two-component and generally recommended for commercial floors or areas under heavier, more demanding wear.
Can I use Bona Wood Floor Cleaner on an oiled floor?
It's designed for lacquered, laminate and hard floors rather than oiled ones. For an oiled floor, Bona Soap is the better match, since it's formulated with a low pH that won't strip the oil out over time.
What's the difference between Bona White Primer and Bona Natural Primer?
White Primer is used to build a whitewashed effect, with whiteness controlled by how many coats are applied. Natural Primer does the opposite — it's designed to preserve the wood's untreated, natural appearance under the topcoat.
Does Bona Craft Oil 2K need to be paired with a specific lacquer?
It can be overcoated later with any version of Bona Traffic for extra durability, but it's also a complete finish on its own if that additional protection isn't needed.
