The NATIF Finish
November 4, 2005

Margaritelli recently launched its NATIF finish available in the Plank 190, Plank 140 and Maxi product lines. NATIF is an innovative finish created for connoisseurs. It is a mix of natural oils and wax that preserves the original features of the wood while allowing the surface to breathe. The NATIF lifestyle is pure and direct, producing sensations of well-being that are truly unique. The overall appearance is mat and possesses a natural, rustic look.

As an oil and wax finish, the NATIF finish layer can be renewed and/or repaired. Margaritelli carries products that can be used to touch up small scratches in the finish. Additionally, every few years depending on traffic, the floor should by buffed to strengthen the finish layer and renew the floor's appearance. With regular maintenance one can keep the hardwood looking new.
