One of the most popular hardwood floor finishing which offers Tom & Peter Flooring is provided by WOCA. If you’ve decided that you want a natural looking wooden floor that is lacquer-free, then the likelihood is that you’ve chosen oil as your way of protecting your wood and making your floor look great at the same time. WOCA for wood flooring comes in various forms and is a great way of making sure that your wood is protected, but at the same time looks natural. A highly popular as well as effective way of treating wood floors, oils effectively penetrate into the wood and in some cases harden into the surface of the floor to stop damage and to maintain the wood in its optimum condition.
WOCA Oil finish hardwood flooring has taken the United States market by in 2014 and shows no signs of slowing down in 2016 and now. Here are some of the most common questions we have regarding this type of finish which we will I’m to answer in today’s my blog:
Is oil finish as durable as traditional factory urethane finishes with aluminum oxide?
When it comes to durability, oil finish flooring tackles the issue with a completely different method. The penetrating oil serves as protection from moisture and wear while allowing the user to feel the wood grains in their bare feet. If compared directly to factory finished aluminum oxide finish, the oil finish flooring will not perform as well to abrasion and impact. However, the beauty of this finish is the fact that it will camouflage any scratches which will inevitably accumulate over time.
Will this finish evaporate over time and will this be harmful for indoor air quality?
Another concern for oil finished floors its effect on indoor air quality. For on-site applications, some varieties suggest several coats which typically require the residents to be out of the home due to mild odors. However, there are factory finished UV-cured or single coat applications which lessen the downtime. Despite the odors produced during the drying process, oil finish floors rank amongst the lowest for VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Certain brands even boast true zero VOC. This fact alone makes oil finished floors one of the best options for green building solutions.
“WOCA products are certified by independent laboratories, the German Institute for Biological Building Materials, and are in accordance with DIN–Norm 53–160. WOCA WoodCare Denmark products meet or exceed the most stringent U.S. standards for volatile organic compounds.” –WOCA Oil Finish Manufacture
Does this type of finish require additional maintenance which I am not familiar with?
For weekly cleaning, oiled floors use a special cleaner which contains an oil and soap mixture. After a period of 12-18 months some oil may evaporate causing the wood grains to appear dry. An additional layer of oil can be reapplied to keep the floor looking fresh. Although oil finished floors require more involvement in periodic maintenance in high traffic areas, this maintenance can be done much easier than the equivalent of an onsite sand and refinish.
WOCA Master Color Oil contains pigment, which provides a single-step hardwood floor staining process. Laying down the stain and the finish in one step.
This product comes 14 different colors, from Black to Extra White, and you can mix them freely to create various color palettes that will meet the demands of any job.

We’re excited to reveal the final segment of our award-winning basement remodel. From the tranquil vibes of the spa-like bathroom to the refined elegance of the wine room, we’ve now arrived at the heart of the relaxation and fun – the rec space. This multi-functional area is perfect for watching a family movie together or hosting friends to watch the game on the big screen. The pinball area sparks nostalgia and adds a retro flair– perfectly in tune with the MCM vibe. The stunning wood slat design from the curved wall outside the bathroom continues along the hallway down to the wine room which connects all three major spaces. This remodel balances aesthetics with functionality, making it an inviting and practical space that fits the owners' lifestyle. The clean lines, natural textures, and thoughtful design choices make this entertainment hub the ultimate space for family downtime, enhancing market appeal, and blending timeless style with modern convenience.

A challenging aspect of this project was the heating system. We installed Runtal hydronic radiators in place of the existing hot water/ fan convector system. The building didn’t have boiler local shutoffs and therefore would’ve required several building wide heat shutdowns. To avoid these shutdowns and cause further tension with the neighbors the team froze the water boiler pipes to install the local shutoffs without any downtime to the building heating system.
Another challenge was having to use makeup air in the kitchen due to a large kitchen exhaust hood. The make up air was routed under the floor and then through a plenum behind the cooktop. In order to hide the air shaft we fabricated a custom, stainless steel cover to sit flush to the countertop and blend with the cooktop appliance.
