“I have been sanding and coating floors for more than 15 years and Treatex (Hardwax Oil) is by far the best product I've ever used . I wished I’d found it years ago. I am now redoing my own home with Treatex and won't use anything else. I cannot speak highly enough of Whittle Waxes...”

“Customers can see and compare the varying effect different coatings can have on the look and appeal of a timber floor. I’m sure many are glad to see a genuine alternative to traditional polyurethane coatings! Our customer response, particularly interior Designers and Architects has been excellent and hope it is reflecting in your business.."

"We sand a lot of older floors in the area that have been neglected or covered over for decades. The timber that was used on the old floors is nearly always of high quality and people are amazed at what is exposed when we sand. Treatex Hardwax Oil is a firm favourite with the customers because it brings out the natural beauty of the timber and it is environmentally friendly. The cost of a Treatex finished floor is also favoured by our customers."

Hardwaxes do not form a plastic skin on the timber, forming a hard protective film that is non-static, water-repellent and therefore easily cleaned. As there is no water in the product, they do not grain raise on application. Hardwaxes are micro-porous, allowing the timber to breathe, which means climatic changes are accommodated.
| Key properties of hardwaxes: |
Hardwaxes are predominantly manufactured in Europe, and therefore comply with the EU standards for VOC emissions, Environment and Sustainability. Traditional formulations are being constantly optimised, representing state-of-the-art manufacturing and usage characteristics. Nano-technology is already used in specialist wax coatings such as Water blockers and will play a prominent role in the continuing development of hardwaxes.
Treatex is virtually unique in that there is no buffing required to remove excess, as the product will dry regardless. It is available in matt, satin and gloss, as well as a range of pigment-based stains. Pigments are light-fast, will not fade or change colour, are easily applied and are guaranteed not to overlap or leave a patchy look as long as the sanding is uniform. Application of many waxes is through a saturation of the timber, followed by removal of excess with a slow-speed buffing machine. This group of products require intermittent maintenance, however the floor is reparable and will never need sanding again to refurbish the coating. Buffed waxes are guaranteed free of any contaminants at application, are usually one-coat and give a beautiful lustrous finish Hardwaxes are fantastic in commercial applications as they are maintainable, meaning that the floor has an indefinite life span with simple regular maintenance. They are economical in application, often in excess of 20m2/L
Wax-based exterior products are supple, micro porous and replenish-able, they allow the timber to expand and contract with climatic conditions, yet will not crack, flake or peel. Maintenance is often nothing more than a clean and the application of a maintenance coat.
