How Barrettine Products Create The Perfect Finishing Touch

Woodcare experts, Barrettine Products, illustrate how trade professionals can stand out from the crowd by adding the perfect finishing touch to interior woodwork.

The key to standing out in a crowded market often lies in the finer details – particularly in the finishing touches that transform a good job into an exceptional one.

For trade professionals and carpenters looking to win more business, the secret may well be in the final layer of protection and beauty applied to interior woodwork.

Steve Bailey, Group Managing Director for Barrettine Products, emphasises the importance of this final step: “In our experience, it’s often the finishing touch that clients remember most. A beautifully protected and enhanced wood surface demonstrates care that resonates with customers long after the job is done.”

Barrettine’s Armourflex® Hard Wax Oil offers trade professionals the opportunity to do just that, adding both beauty and longevity to their craftsmanship.

Make a lasting impression with Armourflex® Hard Wax Oil

First impressions are crucial in the trade industry. Clients not only expect quality workmanship but also a finish that will stand the test of time. By applying a premium surface protection product like Armourflex® Hard Wax Oil, trade professionals can demonstrate a commitment to the longevity of their projects.

Steve Bailey explains, “Our Armourflex® Hard Wax Oil is the perfect way to leave a lasting impression that leads to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.”

Armourflex® Hard Wax Oil is the go-to choice for trade installers looking to provide superior protection and an elegant finish to interior woodwork. This high-performance coating offers exceptional resistance to wear-and-tear, making it ideal for wooden floors, stairs, kitchen worktops, and furniture.

“What sets Armourflex® apart is its unique blend of natural ingredients,” Steve Bailey notes. “We’ve combined soya oils, linseed oil from flax, and carnauba wax to create a microporous, breathable finish that doesn’t crack, peel, flake, or blister.”

This versatile product is suitable for all interior wood surfaces, including hardwoods and softwoods. Its natural and elegant finish enhances the wood grain, complementing both modern and classic interior styles. Whether you’re working on a banister, wooden floors, or wooden worktops, this product can be applied across a range of applications with consistently exceptional results.

“We designed Armourflex® to be a comprehensive solution for interior woodwork,” Steve Bailey explains. “Trade professionals can rely on it for virtually any indoor wood surface, which simplifies their inventory and ensures a uniform quality across different projects.”

Bailey adds, “We’re particularly proud that Armourflex® is certified Food & Toy Safe when dry according to EN 1186:2002 & EN71:3 standards. This makes it an excellent choice for family homes and commercial spaces alike.”

Unlike traditional varnishes, any damage to a surface treated with Armourflex® can be easily spot-repaired without the need for extensive sanding or refinishing. This feature is particularly appealing to customers who want a durable finish that’s easy to maintain over time.

Application tips for perfect results

Always perform a test patch before full application to ensure compatibility and desired finish. Bailey also emphasises the importance of proper preparation: “Like any quality finish, the key to success with Armourflex® is in the preparation. Ensuring the wood surface is clean, dry, and properly sanded will result in a superior finish that truly showcases your craftsmanship.”

To achieve the best results with Armourflex® Hard Wax Oil, apply the product evenly with the wood grain using a high-quality brush or roller.

Start with one coat, adding a second if needed for extra protection.

“The beauty of Armourflex® is its simplicity,” Steve Bailey explains. “It offers a tough, resilient surface that resists daily wear and tear, yet it’s straightforward to apply and has a drying time of just four hours. This allows trade professionals to deliver outstanding results with efficiency.”

Steve Bailey concludes, “We understand the importance of reputation in the trade industry. That’s why we’ve made Armourflex® readily available through national stockists on our website. We want to empower installers and trade professionals to create that perfect finishing touch easily and consistently.”
