Waterborne primer that gives your wooden floors a light, natural appearance
Bona Natural Primer is a specially formulated, pigmented waterborne primer designed to preserve the raw, untreated look of freshly sanded wood. Ideal for light-coloured timbers, this innovative primer gives the appearance of bare wood while still offering the performance benefits of a professional-grade lacquer system.
Whether used in one or two coats, Bona Natural Primer creates a subtle, low-toned foundation that enhances the wood's natural beauty and supports excellent adhesion for subsequent lacquer coats.
