Product information
This walnut floor varnish from the Ronseal Diamond range can be applied to interior using a brush. The varnish dries in just 30 minutes and will cover up to 18 m² per litre on average.
- Guarantee - Statutory
- Surface Preparation - Make sure the room is warmer than 10 degrees, remove your furniture and open the doors and windows. Wear a mask when sanding the floors to avoid inhaling dust. How to prepare unvarnished floors: Prepping before varnishing will help the varnish stick evenly and give you better results. Sand along the length of your floorboards with 120 grit sandpaper. (Helpful hint: It’s quicker and easier to use a floor sander). Let the dust settle and run the vacuum around before wiping the floor down with white spirit. If you spot any holes or imperfections, use our Multi-purpose Wood Filler to fill them in. How to prepare varnished floors: Lightly sand your floor with 120 grit sandpaper. If your old varnish is flaking off, use a floor sander to sand back to the bare wood. Let the dust settle, vacuum it up and then wipe down your floor with white spirit.
- Instructions for Use - Give the varnish a really good stir and test the colour on a small patch to make sure you’re happy with it. Use a 4” brush and start in the corner furthest from the door. Work along the length of two floorboards at a time, just make sure you don’t get trapped in the corner! Wait two hours for the first coat to dry before applying another. For the best protection, you’ll need three coats. Before you start the third coat, very lightly sand along the length of your floorboards with 240 grit sandpaper. You won’t need a floor sander for this bit. Wipe the floor down with a damp cloth and then apply the third coat. Your floor will be ready to walk on in only two hours. Wait 24 hours before bringing your furniture back in. After 72 hours your floor will be diamond hard.

Really doe what it says on the tin
We're doing up a very old house, and these varnishes are excellent for the old floors after sanding. we'ce used them throughout the ground floor.

Good, b and q sold it cheapest
[Employee of diy-ie] Easy application, good coverage but scratches easily despite two top coats of diamond hard clear varnish

Not durable indeed
Followed the instructions for a total of 3 coats but even 6 weeks later, I find it scratches very easily, which for the price, isn't good.

Excellent colour and coverage.
It is easy to apply, dries very quickly and provides the rick dark walnut colour that I wanted.

Just the colour we wanted
We love wooden floors and when we lifted the carpet on our new place were delighted to find fabulous floorboards. Much mess and sanding later they were ready to varnish. We wanted a dark wood and opted for Walnut. Two cans of the 2.5L did one coat on a hall, large lounge/diner and bedroom. One coat gave us the desired look and I have to say we are over the moon with the outcome. How durable it is we’ve yet to find out but so far so good.

Very disappointed with this product.
It is supposed to be hard wearing but is not very durable. Would not purchase again.

Walnut varnish
Beautiful, rich finish. Took a few coats but so happy with the result.

Superb colour
The result was exactly what we wanted. We did not sand the floors and we covered a lighter colour with 3 coats - it looks superb.

Dark walnut ronseal
Had to lay news floorboard across half the room. Wanted a dark stain finish which hopefully would blend the old boards with the new. Can't tell the difference between old and new boards at all now - perfect finish. Ronseal was brilliant with a deep chocolate almost black finish after 3 coats. Gets darker with each coat. Easy to apply if you get yourself a paint pad and we used a standard paint tray, minimal streaks and fairly easy to get an even finish if you work quickly - my first ever try and I am happy with it. Would suggest thinning the first coat with water (water based paint) to make it go further. We didn't and used 2 tins to cover approx 25m2 with three coats. Had half a tin left over. Extra coats go on much easier than the first. Allow approx 1-2hours to dry depending on temp, air flow through room etc. Looks blue/purple when you open the tin. Make sure you shake the tin well and stir a lot. Stir as you go too.
