Why hardwax oil for hardwood floors
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is a hardwax oil wood floor finish that colors and protects in one molecular-binding layer. Because the oil bonds with the top fibers of the wood rather than forming a film on the surface, your floor keeps its natural matte look and the texture of real wood underfoot. Oil Plus 2C requires only one coat, reducing product use and application labor. Its formula contains 0% VOC.
A complete wood floor finishing system
Every product in this collection has a role in the floor system. Woodfiller Quick fills gaps and imperfections before sanding. Raw Wood Cleaner removes dust so the oil can bond properly. Fumed, Pre-Aging, and Precolor Easy are pretreatments that create smoked, aged, or custom base tones; they add color only, so each is always finished with Oil Plus 2C for protection. SheenPlus adds a satin sheen where a fully matte floor isn’t the goal, and Universal Maintenance Oil nourishes the wood and increases the sheen to a velvet finish.
40 colors in a single coat
The current Oil Plus 2C palette holds 40 colors, from Pure and Natural to deep tones like Charcoal and Chocolate. Always test your color on a sanded sample of your actual flooring before committing. Species, sanding grit, and prep all influence the final result. Need something the palette doesn't cover? Colors can be intermixed to create custom tones.
Maintaining an oiled wood floor
Routine care is simple: regular cleaning with Rubio Monocoat interior care products keeps the surface free of buildup. When high-traffic zones start to look tired, Universal Maintenance Oil nourishes the wood and revitalizes its appearance. It's a system designed to be maintained, not stripped and redone.
Hardwood floor finish FAQs
What is the best finish for hardwood floors?
It depends on the look and maintenance you want. If you want wood that looks and feels like wood, a hardwax oil like Oil Plus 2C protects from within the fibers instead of coating the surface, keeps a natural matte appearance, and applies in a single coat.
How much Oil Plus 2C do I need for my floor?
Coverage depends on wood species and preparation. See the Oil Plus 2C coverage guide for estimated square footage by package size.
How do I choose a floor color?
