Beauty Waterlox finishes are a special formula of tung oil and resin that are hand-blended to give wood a naturally beautiful, protective finish. Why is Waterlox the first choice for so many wood floor specialists, furniture makers, antique restorers, and craftsmen? It’s our tradition of quality and the Waterlox advantage: • Easy to use • Gives wood a beautiful, hand-rubbed look • Provides superior protection • Easy to maintain  Protection What is the best way to preserve wood while bringing out its rich color and patina? The ancient Chinese used tung oil, pressed from the nut of the tung tree to waterproof ships in the early 14th Century.  Today, Waterlox literally locks out water with a formula that relies on the protective nature of resins and the penetrating sealing advantages of tung oil. Waterlox products permeate wood surfaces to become part of the wood and resist moisture, dirt, household chemicals, alcoholic beverages, heat, and cold. The look is natural. The finish is superior.  Advantage With the finest line of wood sealers and finishes available, our quality, value, and reliability are unique. Look at how we compare to other finishes:  Waterlox vs. Urethane - Waterlox forms a protective finish that won’t chip, peel, crack, or wrinkle. Waterlox never requires sanding for adhesion purposes. So touch-ups can be done at any time without sanding down to the bare wood.  Waterlox gives you a naturally beautiful, protective finish that never looks like a sheet of plastic More... Waterlox vs. Raw Tung Oil and Danish Oil – Waterlox dries better and forms a film that’s strong enough to walk on. Waterlox is also waterproof, while raw tung oil and Danish oil will water spot. Waterlox vs. Linseed Oil – Waterlox provides deeper penetration to seal wood fibers beneath the surface. Waterlox is waterproof and will not water spot like linseed oil.

What is Tung Oil? Tung oil is not a new ingredient.  The tung tree is indigenes to China.  Chinese merchants used tung oil back  in the 14th century to waterproof and protect wooden ships from the eroding powers of the sea.  The tung tree  is named for its heart-shaped leaves (Tung is Chinese for heart).   Tung oil is produced by harvesting the nuts that grow in cluster. They are dried and shucked and the,  transparent oil is squeezed from the seeds inside.   This rich oil never loses elasticity and penetrates deep into the  pores of the wood. The tung tree matures to bear fruit in about 3 years, and an acre of tung trees will produce  about 2 tons of tung nuts and yield about 100 gallons of tung oil annually.  Until hurricane Camille in 1969, there were  many tung tree plantations in the Gulf States, and while domestic tung oil production is making a comeback, today we get most of our tung oil from China and Argentina.

If you’re looking for tung oil-based finishes, you’ve found the right company!  Waterlox has been using tung oil as the ideal base in wood finishes for over 90 years. Why? Because tung oil is… • Completely Natural and  Renewable  comes from the nut of the tung tree • Time-Tested - used as long ago as the 14th Century to waterproof Chinese ships • The best-penetrating drying oil available - smaller molecules penetrate even the densest woods • Remains elastic - moves with wood during the changes in seasons and is easy to maintain However, Tung oil alone is NOT recommended for use on floors, counter tops, and furniture that are heavily used because it doesn’t form a film and will therefore water spot, not stand up to foot traffic, attract dirt, and need to be reapplied frequently.   Waterlox’s exclusive process takes tung oil, resin, mineral spirits, and other ingredients to produce a complete wood finish that gives you the look and feel of a naturally-oiled wood, with the additional benefit of forming a surface that is waterproof, stands up to foot traffic, and protects against household spills.  Like pure tung oil, Waterlox is easy to apply, repair, and re-coat when necessary.

We use a Weather Resistant Coating for Wood that is a clear protective top-coat specially formulated with enhanced ultraviolet absorbers to help protect wood from weather damage. It provides a durable finish that helps wood withstand rain and moisture. The Special ultraviolet absorbers help protect wood from the graying and the fading affects of the hot Florida sunshine.

North American Cypress (Taxodium distichum), grows in wet, swampy areas along the Eastern Coast from Delaware to Florida and west along the Gulf to the Mexican border in Texas and north up the Mississippi River Valley. This water-loving tree grows best in the swampy areas of Florida and the lower Mississippi river and can reach heights of up to 145 feet. Common names for cypress include: bald cypress, cypress, swamp cypress, southern cypress, red cypress, yellow cypress, white cypress, tidewater cypress, gulf cypress, black cypress, cow cypress.

Cypress has many exterior and interior uses. Cypress heartwood is extremely decay and insect resistant due to the naturally occurring preservative known as cypressine. It is an ideal choice for house construction, docks, beams, decks, flooring, paneling and siding. Cypress can also be milled to make doors, windows, rails, and even caskets.. Cypress is considered an independent grade, it is not as readily available as the Selects and Commons and therefore offers a special opportunity to present a truly unique rustic appearance.
