Slow Process Penetration:

Camouflage Effect:
Permabois's oil-infused floors effectively camouflage marks and scratches, eliminating brittle white lines typical of damaged UV finishes. Each step on your floor promises quality.
Superior Durability:
The infusion process increases finish durability by saturating the wood with natural oils, forming a robust protective layer that helps camouflage scratches and protect against stains and wear.
Simple Touch-Ups:
The camouflage effect of infused oils maintains a new appearance. Spot repairs can be done easily without intrusive sanding, saving time and effort while extending floor life.
Natural Aesthetics:
Oil infusion highlights the wood's natural aesthetics. Unlike synthetic finishes that may alter appearance, these oils enhance the grain, colour and texture for a warm, authentic look.
Breathability and Flexibility:
Infused natural oils allow floors to breathe, preventing warping. The finish remains flexible, adapting to natural wood expansion and contraction with temperature and humidity changes.
Easy Maintenance:
Permaclean simplifies maintenance by regenerating the oil-infused finish. This soap cleans and nourishes in one step, preserving your floor's beauty

It goes without saying that we are proud to be different.
Air dried natural oils and our saturation process: key differentiators
Use of natural vegetable oils, no VOC's before, during or after installation
Natural oils improve the durability of the wood but it is also our complete impregnation that allows for easy repair of the floor if it is damaged.
Calibration of natural oil quantities and drying time by wood species, allows for better saturation of the wood fibers and increased protection against premature wear.
The base oil, our first in depth application, contains the colour pigments used to stain the wood and maintains the original appearance over the years because it is protected by a surface finishing oil.
The finishing oil, our second application, completes the impregnation process and ensures that the wood is well saturated to obtain a silky and durable finish
Simple and easy maintenance to clean and regenerate the oiled finish, the Permaclean solution.
Simple and hassle-free maintenance of an oil-saturated floor, a soap that cleans and nourishes the wood in one step with Permaclean.
Simple maintenance is enhanced by occasionally combining it with Permalustre protector, which also regenerates the finish and develops a remarkable patina.
Properly maintained, your Permabois floors will maintain their beautiful appearance, so there's no need to sand or replace them.
Significant savings. An advantage, but above all, one less thing to worry about.
Scratch concealment and ease of minor repairs, another differentiating feature
Our oiled finish seals your floors against splashes of major liquids, so well maintained your floors won't stain even when an evening with friends ends up with an unfortunate event.
Impregnated natural oils actively participate in the camouflage effect of indentations and scratches, visually you will not have to endure the crumbly white lines of a damaged UV finish.
The camouflage effect is also valid for pets, wonderful to be able to count on a floor that diminishes the visual effect of marks left by our four-legged friends.
Our air dried oils also seal the wood despite scratches and indentations, so you don't have to worry about moisture seeping in and darkening the affected areas.
Touching up the floor is relatively easy to do and can be done easily by the homeowner without having to pay an expert.
Non-intrusive surface restoration and important cost savings
Repairing larger surfaces, or restoring a section of the home, can be done without having to restore the entire room or even empty the house of furniture to do so.
Restoration with our oils is done faster, without deep sanding, therefore non-intrusive, odorless, dustless and for a fraction of the price.
Restoration of the finish rather than sanding or even replacement of hardwood floors is also a substantial money saving.
Calculate the cost of sanding and varnishing a prefinished UV floor with micro-v joint edges, in 2022 the average price is about $5.00/pc. So about $5000.00 extra for each 1000sqft of surface, not negligible in the budget equation.
In some cases, contractors even prefer to replace the entire floor. This involves tearing out, disposing of, cleaning, buying the material and having it installed again... I forgot to move and store the furniture, restaurants and temporary lodging! This is more than double the money invested in the initial purchase.
Above all, a non-intrusive restoration of a Permabois floor assures peace of mind, no matter what the situation, there will always be an inexpensive solution at your disposal.
This advantage represents a solid and lasting investment with substantial savings over time.
A remarkably beautiful finish with an incomparable silky feel.
Our natural impregnated oils offer a warm and silky finish underfoot, the days of plastic film sealed finishes are over.
The permeability of impregnated oils allows the floor to breathe, unlike UV plasticized finishes, and is therefore more stable in environments subject to high humidity levels.
The natural appearance of our vegetable oils brings out the beauty of the grain and highlights the nuances of each species.
Two layers of vegetable oils impregnated and intertwined with the wood fibers, air dried for several days... a different and necessary approach, because it's the right way!
