Bona Traffic Naturale Commercial Matte

So far, it worked amazing! Was really worried with reviews, and wondering if we would mess it up, but surprisingly it turned out beautiful!We used a roller, looked like it would leave little orange peel marks but it self leveled. This stuff dries quick, so don't let your partner doing the edges get to far ahead.Could not use the jug after 2 hours, was already making little chunks, we had to open a new jug for the next coat.Keep heat on, was drying with milky opaque sheens on some boards, turning heat on fixed this, it's winter here.Do not watch dry! Will make you panic! LolWalkable after 3 hours, very gently, but it can be done.Roll out the solution thick enough not to hear the roller making the sucking sound, when you hear that, pour more and do another pass. Go with the grain. Overlap a quarter of your last pass, pull back, push forward, lifting off gently like an airplane at the end in one pass.Smell wasn't too bad, but I'm really sensitive, and after we went to bed, it was overwhelming to me, sent me into autonomic mcas attacks, so I opened all windows and put a fan in our bedroom, much better. Didn't bother my kids and husband.Floor has a beautiful oiled look and feels buttery smooth! Just love how nicely it turned out. Will update with durability.

This was the first time I took on a floor refinishing job. After sanding decided I liked the look of the floor without any finish on it, and researched a couple of similar products and ended up choosing this one as I could order on Amazon with two day shipping.Watched a couple of videos and stuck with rolling on this finish with a 1/4" mohair roller cover. Followed directions on the back in regards to what grit sand paper to finish with, but just used the machines they had available for rent at the local big box tool store. Applied Bona Classicseal first per the instructions on the back since I was applying the finish to raw wood, then did three coats of the Bona Traffic Naturale. Each time I did a coat I did a light sand between with a pole sander and 220 grit screens and cleaned up real good. Each time I did a coat the floor lightened up more and really started to look nice.It really has a low sheen to it, looks and feels great also. I am in no way a perfessional but I am a perfectionist, and this was my first time ever applying finish to anything. The results speak for themselves, take your time and watch some videos. Don't be afraid to sand down your floor pretty agressively at first. I finished my mom's floor with a cheaper water based poly that was a flat finish, and mine looks better hands down.

We installed 900 sq ft of flooring, sealing with this and the product itself is amazing. When we finished the last section in our kitchen, we reordered the same product, off the same link and the product changed. Bummer for no clarification or notification. (see pic for difference)

Blown away by this product! I was looking for a sealant to cover my whitewashed floors. I tried everything without success because my tests would turn yellow and ruin the effect I was going for. Bona is applied easily and puts a matte "veil" over the floor and does not alter your finish. It's beautiful and feels great to the touch. I highly recommend it for anyone going "Scandinavian" on their floors.

Wow. This stuff is awesome. I built a table using 100 year old barn wood and wanted the most natural finish I could find. This did the trick. I used the Bona Sealer product first. The picture speaks for itself.

Fairly easy to use, finish is just what I was looking for. Durable and nice mat finish that is not shiny. used on a drift wood mantel and looks fabulous.

Hello,We purchased Bona IntenseSeal and Bona Traffic Naturale commercial Matte, and followed your manufacturers install directions. It has only been on the floor for a month and it looks terrible. It has allowed moisture to seep through in places, chips so easily and just doesn’t look good at all! As expensive as this product was, we are extremely disappointed in how it looks. We have sealed and finished our own floors in other homes and wanted to try this product because it seemed to be recommended all over the internet. Paid advertising is real though and I should have asked more hardwood flooring companies what product they recommended. We used this for about 1,800 sf of our home, so we are not sure what needs to be done at this point to fix it.

I like the durability of the finish and the fact that it is non-yellowing. But the matte finish shows everything, and it makes the wood look like plastic.
