Ask the expert

HPPC solid wood floor

April 25th, 2012

Q: What is the recommended post installation finish and ongoing cleaning and maintenance regime for an "HPPC" solid wood floor? How does "HPPC" differ from an oiled finish?

A: HPPC oil is an advanced technology finish ? ?High Performance Polymer Coating? that is both strong and stylish. Dry clean using a soft brush with exploded tips to collect dirt. For more intensive cleaning, a slightly moistened cloth and something like, ?Elka 3in1? daily cleaner should be used. HPPC finishes should be maintained with maintenance oil such as ?Elka Protect? as and when required. HPPC is an oil mixed with a polymer giving it a truly unique finish that provides the look of a matt oil but the strength of a hardwearing lacquer.
