That makes them the foundation of any pale or Scandinavian floor. Traditional is a complete standalone hardwax oil that delivers a beautifully natural finish with excellent protection, buffed, rolled or brushed, with the classic hardwax character many professionals still prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for floors, furniture, worktops and joinery.
