We do things a little differently around here. Because we do them the exact same way we've done them for nearly 100 years. By hand. With passion and pride. We've been making Waterlox handmade wood finishes since 1910 by using only the best ingredients along with our original family formulas. And we couldn't imagine a better job. Because to us, there isn't anything more rewarding than preserving the authenticity and inherent beauty of wood.

REVEAL THE RADIANCE

Waterlox is sure to elevate the appearance of any wood floor. From hickory and chestnut, to pine, fir and Brazilian Cherry, Waterlox works wonderfully on hard, soft and exotic woods. It showcases the character of antique wood and reclaimed wood floors magnificently and is ideal for hand-scraped and distressed floors.

EXTRAORDINARILY DURABLE,
AMAZINGLY ATTRACTIVE

Wood countertops are distinct alternatives to the options commonly available today. With its waterproof properties, Waterlox is ideal for these unique pieces. It provides a protective finish that is extraordinarily durable, silky smooth and amazingly attractive.

GORGEOUS, DETAILED APPEARANCE

From church doors, wooden gates and patio furniture to window moldings, wooden boats and bright work, Waterlox Marine Finishes protect wood from exposure to UV rays, harsh weather conditions and moisture, all while preserving the wood's gorgeous, detailed appearance.

AUTHENTIC EFFECT

Whether it's for museum quality period reproductions, original designs by commission, restored antiques or one-of-a-kind custom woodworking projects, furniture craftsmen and fine woodworkers use Waterlox finishes extensively to achieve an authentic, hand-rubbed effect with the durability of a modern finish.

TIMELESS, UNIQUE CHARACTER

Waterlox preserves cabinets and woodwork while capturing their timeless and unique character. It accents the wood's fluid shapes and simple lines, just as they appear in nature.

PRESERVE AND ENHANCE

Waterlox finishes have been selected to preserve and enhance the floors of art museums, government offices, visitor centers, restaurants and hotels because not only do they protect wood exceptionally, but they offer a stunning presentation.
