Lacq Decowax is a wax that can be used to maintain wooden surfaces. It is manufactured using traditional methods based on a 60-year old, proven recipe. The interaction of pure turpentine, all natural beeswax and carnauba wax, create a natural shine, structure and colour perception. Lacq Decowax provides a protective layer and evens out minor irregularities. This makes it extremely well-suited for treating furniture and floors, or as a protective top layer over chalk paint. It cleans, protects and preserves wooden surfaces. Treatment with this wax provides a beautiful shine and removes superficial spots and scratches. Decowax can be used to temper bright colours, apply an antique or grey patina or create a whitewash effect. In addition, the wax can be used to give untreated wood a colour or unique effect. The Decowax metallic colours can be used to add exquisite sparkling effects to a wooden surface.
