The Advantages of Oiling Parquet with a Two-Component Natural Oil: LIOS Bioil 2K

In previous articles, we explored different finishes for treating and protecting parquet, such as lacquers and oils. Oils can be further categorized into natural oils, wax-based oils, and colored oils.

This article focuses on a finish that can be considered an advanced solution for both aesthetic appeal and wood protection. Thanks to its two-component composition (oil and crosslinker), it offers enhanced hardness, durability, and optimal resistance to scratches, abrasions, and stains.

Chimiver offers a two-component oil for wooden floors that, when mixed during application, creates a more robust protective layer than single-component oils.

Two-Component Oil for Parquet

LIOS Bioil 2K  is a high-performance two-component treatment that provides exceptional chemical and physical resistance for protecting wooden floors. Applied in a single coat, this oil gives parquet excellent coverage, a warm and soft look, and easy maintenance. Formulated with natural plant-based oils, it contains no water or solvents, making it VOC-free.

LIOS Bioil 2K is available in two versions:

• STANDARD: Natural-colored oil that protects wood while preserving its original color.
• COLORED: Pigmented oil that protects and alters the wood’s final color.

What Are the Benefits of Two-Component Parquet Oil?

Two-component parquet oil offers numerous advantages over traditional single-component oils:

• High Resistance: Its two-component formula creates a more durable protective layer, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as offices, commercial spaces, or home environments like living rooms and entryways. Its protection is comparable to lacquers but retains the aesthetic and tactile qualities of oil.
• Stain and Liquid Resistance: The two-component formula forms a barrier that protects against stains, scratches, and liquid penetration, making it ideal for moisture-prone areas such as kitchens or bathrooms.
• Natural and Uniform Finish: Unlike lacquers, which often create a glossy or plastic-like finish, two-component oil penetrates deeply without altering the wood’s natural appearance. It highlights the grain and texture, resulting in a matte or slightly satin finish that enhances the authentic beauty of parquet.
• Faster Drying Time: Compared to traditional oils, two-component oils dry more quickly, allowing for faster completion of parquet treatment. Always check the product’s technical data sheet for specific drying times.
• Long-Lasting Durability: This oil is designed to last longer, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
• Easy Maintenance: Parquet treated with two-component oil can be renewed without sanding the entire floor. Simply apply a maintenance layer periodically to keep it in excellent condition.
• Single Cycle Application: Unlike single-component oils requiring multiple coats, two-component oil requires just one application for complete treatment.

Overall, two-component oil is an excellent choice for those seeking a combination of natural aesthetics and superior durability for their wooden floors.

How to Apply Two-Component Parquet Oil

Applying this oil is straightforward:

• Shake both components well before use.
• Sand the surface with grit 100/120.
• Use a High Pro felt pad to ensure the wood absorbs the oil evenly.
• Mix the two components (Part A + Part B) according to the ratios specified in the technical data sheet until achieving a homogeneous mixture.
• Apply LIOS Bioil 2K evenly using a single brush with a white felt pad.
• Wait 5 minutes, then wipe the surface with a white cotton cloth to remove any excess oil.
• The treated floor is walkable within 24 hours.
