Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AquaSeal 1K and 2K lacquers?
1K (one-component) lacquers are ready to use straight from the tin — no mixing required. 2K (two-component) lacquers require mixing with a hardener before application. 2K systems cure harder, are more chemical-resistant, and are recommended for commercial and high-traffic areas. 1K systems are ideal for residential use where ease of application is the priority.
Can Berger-Seidle products be used on Australian hardwoods?
Yes. The full Berger-Seidle range is tested on both European and Australian timber species. Products like ExpressStain and BaseOil Color work particularly well on high-tannin species such as Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, and Tallowwood.
What is the GreenStar hardener?
AquaSeal GreenStar is the first waterborne 2K lacquer system where even the hardener carries no hazard labelling under CLP regulations. This means no special PPE is required during application — a significant advantage for occupied residential jobs and sites with strict safety requirements.
How do I maintain a Berger-Seidle lacquered floor?
Use the Brilliance SprayMop ComfortClean system for daily maintenance. For periodic deep cleaning, use Brilliance EcoClean. Avoid vinegar, bleach, and generic household cleaners as these can damage the lacquer film over time.
Is BergerBond M1S suitable for engineered flooring?
Yes. BergerBond M1S is a solvent-free, water-free adhesive suitable for both solid timber and engineered boards. It provides a hard-elastic bond that accommodates the natural movement of timber flooring.
