Bona premium wood coating Singapore
Bona is a Swedish wood-floor coating brand widely used in residential, commercial and sports applications. We offer Bona water-based finishes as a premium option for owners who want a higher-end coating system; Bona coatings generally cost more than standard water-based or oil-based varnish.
What this scope is
Bona produces a range of waterborne and oxygen-crosslinking polyurethane finishes for hardwood floors. Common residential options are Bona Domo (1-component water-based, quick-drying, light-traffic / residential) and Bona Mega (water-based with oxygen-crosslinking PU, suited to offices, hotel rooms, premium homes and demanding residential floors). Bona Drifast colour stains and Bona Mix&Fill gap filler complement the coating range. Sports floors use the Bona SuperSport system (two-component waterborne PU).
Who this is for
- Owners specifying premium finishes for visible, frequently-used rooms.
- Renovation projects where lower indoor odour and faster recoating matter.
- Commercial floors (small office, boutique, hotel rooms) needing a more durable water-based coating.
- Stained / coloured wood floors using a controlled stain system.
Scope of works
- Bona Domo — 1-component water-based, residential / light-traffic.
- Bona Mega — water-based oxygen-crosslinking PU, residential and demanding applications.
- Bona Drifast stain — wide stain colour range for indoor wood floors.
- Bona Mix&Fill — gap filler colour-matched to wood tone.
- Bona SuperSport — two-component waterborne PU for sports and indoor court floors.
- Application following the Bona Technical Data Sheet for each product.
How we run a project
- Site visit — discuss premium finish vs standard, walk through samples.
- Quotation — Bona coating system stated as a separate premium option on the quote.
- Sand to bare wood; gap fill with Bona Mix&Fill where used.
- Stain (Bona Drifast) where colour finish is selected, with cure time.
- Sealer, then 2–3 coats of Bona finish with light inter-coat screening.
- Cure to the Bona TDS, then handover with manufacturer care guidance.
Bona vs standard varnish
Standard water-based and oil-based varnishes are durable, well-proven options at a lower price point. Bona finishes typically add cost (often 20–40% more on the coating line of the quote, depending on system) in exchange for tighter quality control, faster recoat times, lower odour and well-documented technical data sheets. The right choice is one of budget, expected usage and indoor air-quality preferences.
Where Bona makes most sense
Premium homes and showpiece rooms, commercial spaces with frequent foot traffic, indoor sports floors and projects where indoor air quality and quick re-use are priorities. For routine residential refinishing where budget is the main driver, standard varnish grades are usually adequate.
Satin sheen and Bona
Bona finishes are available in matt, satin, semi-gloss and gloss tiers. Satin is the most commonly requested sheen for residential floors because it hides minor surface marks better than gloss while still showing wood grain clearly. Owners specifying a high-gloss look should expect highlights, reflections and a more “mirror-like” surface — visible in the project photo on this page.
Visual reference
Things to confirm before fabrication
- Bona is a coating brand, not a guarantee of finish performance on every floor. Adhesion and final appearance still depend on substrate preparation, sanding quality and ambient conditions during application.
- Bona Mega adds a subtle warm tone and is not recommended for true-white floor finishes — Bona Domo or other clearer films are typically used where colour neutrality is critical.
- Specific approvals (e.g. sports-floor FIBA approval) are confirmed per project with the current valid certificate before any such claim is made.
