Ordered some Manns extra tough floor varnish Arrived well packed, ordered 5ltr for 9m x 4m room did 3 coats goes on really easy look glossy and white but dries to a hard Matt finish
Nice finish durability uncertain but so farcso good
Goes on well, look out for 'flakes'. Excellent final appearance. No idea on durability yet, but seems a good product. Also goes a long way!
I use this a lot on bathroom cabinets and other small pieces of wood which I have usually stained first. It dries quickly, then a light sanding and a second coat produces a really tough matt finish. I'm not using it on the floor but I'm sure it would be very good as floor varnish. Like everything, it's slightly pricey but worth it.
Given the cost and volume of varnish we needed, we were really pleased to be able to buy a test pot. Decided to go with this finish and our oak floor looks amazing again. Delivered super quick too!
Easy to apply with roller and dries to nice matt finish
I did 3 coats in the end only because I had a lil left over. So far so good !!
I used the stains and varnish to match an old pine floor to a new one. The colours were very different and it was easy to correct the colour and then put a white wash over the lot. Looks lovely
Easy to apply and quick drying. Low odour. Final finish very good.
Very handy to be able to get different finishes and mix if needed. In the end this gloss, over the Manns Classic Pine stain was the best match to blend in replaced floorboards with the rest of the floor. Very easy to use.
Glad we tried this but in fact the gloss version was the best match
So far this product has impressed me , the finish is lovely and it's early days but seems very hard wearing.
Nice varnish easy to use and gave a slight sheen perfect for the look I wanted to achieve
Easy to use, went a long way. I wanted more of a non slip finish so did not sand between coats. If I was using this product again I would use a sealant before hand. I have got a little residue where the floor had previously been wet from a washing machine.
Easy to apply and looks good with woods stain
The end result is good quality and effective at protecting the wood. The brushes are easily cleaned in water and there are no bad fumes as you work. Excellent product!
Does what it says on the tub. I used a garden sprayer to apply which made it super simple. Would buy again
Very nice finish, covers really well and dries quick
Hard stuff… as it happens a joy to apply
Easy to apply. Great finish (gloss). Only just finished so time will tell on durability.
We bought two Bona Mega samples and this from Manns. In our test, this was easily the closest to raw when applied. Although it does yellow and darken the pine slightly. The Matt finish is perfect fr lighter pine, and the surface feels great too. We opted NOT to prime as the Manns Primer was very yellow. But two coats of the varnish gave us great results. Just bare in mind you'll use more if you don't prime.
Very easy to use with a roller for the larger areas. Spreads a long way and dries to a nice streak free finish. Technical advice from supplier was appreciated. Excellent all round.
Easy on, quick drying, blends with existing finish... Used 4 coats, sand between coats.
This is a really good Matt finish varnish. Easy to apply, we used a long handled roller, water based so no fumes and quick to dry. Two coats looks to have finished the job really well
Used this for my first floor refinish and it worked a treat very easy to use and very forgiving. Left with a perfect finish
Used this to varnish the floorboards in my son’s bedroom. Applied two coats over the primer, with a light sand in between each coat. Went on very easily and has a lovely finish.
Was easy to apply and looks great. I did 2 coats over about 24m². Would def use again
Oak plank flooring Sanded, primed, the 3 coats , denibbing inbetween Goes a long way more than stated Great finish Highly recommended
Was good to be able to get the sample size as we are using on white floorboards so was important it was non yellowing. This gave the most matte finish. Purchased the bigger size and have applied multiple layers now and it seems to have done the job.
I sanded ( by hand) the engineered flooring of my kitchen and applied three coats of Mann's Extra Tough Matt. It has provided a lovely looking finish, undoubtedly tough finush. . Be careful to ensure the floor is completely clean and swept since the lacquer will adhere gritty bits etc to the floor. I do not know how the floor will behave over the coming months but, for the time being, I can relax in the warmth of having saved thousands of pounds in terms of the quote for a new floor.
I last used this product over 8 years ago on our heavily used stairs and halls. The finish was stunning and very long lasting. Time for a refresh.
This has worked well for us previously and we are particularly pleased that it is low odour and all cleaning up is done in water.
Applied 3 good coats as directed, and after just 3 weeks looks like it has never been done. Scratches and scuffs all over. Entire floor needs sanding again which is a pain and an expense. Very disappointed.
