The innovative Bona Mega Natural seals and protects wooden feels whilst preserving the raw untreated look of the wood.
Bona Mega Natural is a super durable floor varnish that is specially designed to retain the natural look of the timber, often known as the 'untreated look'. This is extremely popular with Scandinavian style interiors right now. The varnish produces an almost invisible matt finish which is richer on lighter wood floors when treated with whitening primers or light stains.
Tips
For bare wood floors we recommend applying Bona Classic Primer, Bona Intense Primer or Bona Amber Primer before application of the Mega Natural. This will significantly improve adhesion between the varnish and floor as well as helping with the final finish colour.
It is not recommended to overcoat Bona White Primer or Bona Natural Primer with Bona Mega Natural.
It is not recommended to apply more than two coats of Bona Mega Natural per day as applying too many coats can increase the risk of wood swelling and causing issues to your floor.

Application
It's always recommended you test a area of wood before starting any project to assess how the product is going to behave
with your flooring. This will show suitability and what the final finish will act like towards the end result.
Shake the product well before using to allow the contents to mix around as it may have been stationary for a while and the formula may have settled inside creating a slight layer.
Apply Bona Mega Natural using a Bona Roller. by using a Roll with a smooth flowing motion, alternately across and with the direction of the grain. You can also use a Bona Swivel Head Applicator, which is a specialist product of 46cm coverage.
Try avoiding any accumulations of the product. Always maintain a wet edge to avoid any sort
of overlapping. Allow to dry.
The floor you have applied the application on will take a light foot traffic, nothing too heavy within close timings of when Bona Mega Natural was applied. Leave it around 8 hours after the final application to allow the surface to fully cure before using. Allow the surface to dry for at least 1 week before covering with carpets or any other coverings from light to heavy in weight. This is to allow the wood and surface to breathe and fully set.
During this application period, especially towards the final drying process, try to avoid using any sort of damp mop or any other cleaning applicator as this may change the final results of the product.
If any sort of spillage is created on the surfaces like water and other liquids, you must remove straight away.
Aftercare
Clean the floor with Bona Cleaner or Bona Wood Floor Cleaner and a microfibre pad. For maintenance and upkeep of the surface, floors can be overcoated at intervals with additional coats of lacquer.
The frequency of this operation can be greatly reduced if Bona Freshen Up or Bona Wood Floor Refresher is applied periodically. This will restore the appearance of a dull floor whilst still allowing further coats of lacquer to be applied without the need for sanding the floor back to bare timber.
