Our lacquer production craftsmen looked for a way to retain the untreated appearance of subtrates. The result of their quest is SKYLT. With SKYLT, wood stays purely wood. SKYLT protects the original and emphasises the original appearance.

This can be done for a couple hours. It is strongly advised not to leave it longer. The lacquer needs oxygen to harden properly. If the floor is covered and shows damages, it can be polished and re-lacquered.
Smoked floors can be finished with SKYLT. SKYLT does not contain any white pigment.
On dark woods, we recommend SKYLT Titanium #5550, but SKYLT Original #5510 is also widely used. The colouring is a matter of taste. A test on a small area can make the difference visible.
Note: If a lighter tint is chosen on a dark background, we recommend SKYLT Original #5510 as the first layer instead of SKYLT Primer #5020.
It doesn't matter for the end result whether you use a system of 1 layer SKYLT Primer #5020 and 2 layers SKYLT Original #5510, or a system of 3 layers SKYLT Original #5510; not in terms of appearance nor resistance. Also the application of the lacquer layer itself is not different.
So what is the difference?
With SKYLT Primer #5020 you benefit from a 1K product, you have less residual waste, and partly because of this, SKYLT Primer #5020 is more affordable. If you only use SKYLT Original #5510, you only need to purchase one product. This is more convenient for a small project, for example lacquering a table.
Technically this is possible, but it is not a logical choice. After all, SKYLT Titanium #5550 is used on dark woods, while SKYLT Primer #5020 is prescribed for light woods. On dark woods (read smoked oak and darker) the standard advice for invisible protection is therefore 3 layers of SKYLT Titanium #5550.
