A word from the pros:


“It’s really easy to sand and get back on to with around a two-hour recoat time.”


“I switched from [well- known brand] as my lads loved the Armourflex trial so much and moaned when it was over.”


“The Natural Matt is the best I have ever tried and it's the same price as the Enriched, brilliant!”


To complement the range, Armourflex also has an effective yet gentle hard surface cleaner. Armourflex Wood Floor Cleaner is ideal for wooden floors including solid timber, engineered wood and laminate but equally effective on tiles and non- porous stone.
