Quality and environmentally friendly products
Its "interior decoration" range offers consumers quality, environmentally friendly products through the European Ecolabel.
Varnish, oil, or wax—each of these finishes provides parquet with durable and aesthetic protection against stains, dirt, and other damage. While varnish is by far one of the most widely used finishes for its warm tone and high resistance to traffic, impacts, scratches, and abrasion, oil is increasingly popular for its matte, natural appearance. This highly penetrating finish provides deep protection, enhances raw wood, and offers a beautiful finish for trendy, contemporary interiors. As for wax, it highlights the wood's authenticity and warmth for more traditional and rustic decors, and also gives off a pleasant scent. All of these finishes enhance parquet floors and preserve their natural beauty.
To take care of parquet floors and provide interiors with quality, easy-to-use and durable products, Cecil Professionnel has developed in its "interior decoration" range HPX oil, CPX wax, and VX302 and VX303 varnishes benefiting from the European Ecolabel.
