Valmour recommends to proceed according to the following steps:

1 - Staining :
This is an optional step depending on your taste: you can use the following products:
Nut Husk LOUIS XIII which can be diluted with water to obtain all the different colours of wood,
Woodwork Stain LOUIS XIII, which is a hydro-alcoholic stain available in particular in pastel shades.

2 - Preparation :
Afterwards, it is absolutely essential to treat the base to fix the stain, protect the wood and facilitate the  finishing. Apply an even coat of Acrylic Wood Finish Louis XIII with a large Brush, to obtain a beautiful satin shine.Easily applied in one or two coats. 

3 - Finishing :

traditional waxed finish : apply an even coat of De Luxe Paste Wax Polish  LOUIS XIII  with Cotton Stock LOUIS XIII or with a large Brush (shorten the bristles to add rigidity), preferably in 2 thin coats rather than one thick coat. This traditional formula dries quickly and gives a very pleasant scent. Let dry, then shine with a wool Cloth or with a  floor polisher.

The Louis XIII line also includes a wax formula richer in pigments and waxes, available in liquid :De Luxe Liquid Wax Polish LOUIS XIII and paste : De Luxe Wax Polish Louis XIII paste. It is the wax of the antique dealers, ideal for a renovation or a first waxing. 

- modern vitrification without constraints: with the help of Varnishing Emulsion wooden floors AVEL  which will embellish your parquet and reinforce its protection. This emulsion does not distort the appearance of the wood as does a sealant, it gives an appearance closer to a waxed floor.
