Product Notes
Hard Wax Oil is an oil suitable for all solid wood floorings, block, strip and plank applications. Created by the Mylands Technical team, this is a blend of traditional and modern techniques of timber ageing and wood character enhancement. The concept originates from Mylands’ vast knowledge of antique restoration, flooring finishes and decorative paints for interiors, film, television and theatre. **First image on hardwood (oak), second image on softwood (pine).

frequently asked questions
We’ve answered some of the most common questions to help navigate selecting the right wood product.
Mylands wood finishes are different because they combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. They are formulated using high-quality natural oils, waxes, and resins to enhance the natural beauty of timber while providing protection. Many products, like their French Polishes and waxes, are made to historical recipes that have been refined over a century, giving a depth, clarity, and finish that’s hard to replicate with mass-market alternatives.
Mylands floor finishes include Mylac, Mylac Extra, and Shellac Barrier Seal, each designed for exceptional durability and wear resistance.
Mylac is a fast-drying, water-based lacquer ideal for domestic floors, while Mylac Extra offers a tougher, two-pack formulation suitable for heavy-traffic commercial spaces.
Shellac Barrier Seal acts as a primer and sealer, improving adhesion and enhancing the depth and clarity of the final finish. Together, they provide a complete professional system for achieving long-lasting, beautifully finished floors.
For furniture, use French Polishes, Waxes, Oils, or Burnishing Creams to enhance the sheen, depth, and overall character of the wood while preserving its natural beauty. French Polishes provide a traditional, high-gloss finish ideal for antiques and fine furniture. Waxes add warmth and a soft lustre while offering light protection. Oils, such as Food Safe Oil, nourish and protect the wood from within, highlighting the natural grain. Burnishing Creams help revive and maintain polished or lacquered surfaces, restoring their original brilliance over time.
