Bona Amber Warm Wood Floor Primer 5L
Bona Amber Warm Wood Floor Primer is a one-component, waterborne polyurethane primer designed to give untreated timber a rich, warm amber colour similar to the appearance traditionally associated with solvent-based floor finishes.
Particularly well suited to oak, darker timbers and tropical wood species, Bona Amber also helps reduce the risk of side-bonding and is an excellent choice for floors with underfloor heating or increased seasonal movement, including plank and end-grain floors.
Why Choose Bona Amber?
- Produces a rich, warm amber wood colour
- Creates a traditional solvent-finish appearance
- One-component waterborne polyurethane formulation
- Excellent abrasion performance
- Helps reduce the potential for side-bonding
- Highly suitable for underfloor heating
- Ideal for plank and end-grain floors
- GREENGUARD certified for low indoor emissions
Suitable Flooring
- Oak flooring
- Darker hardwood species
- Tropical timber flooring
- Solid wood planks
- Engineered wood flooring with a sandable wear layer
- Parquet and herringbone flooring
- End-grain wood floors
- Wood floors installed over compatible underfloor heating systems
Wiltshire Wood Recommendation:
Bona Amber is ideal when the customer wants the timber to appear richer, warmer and more traditional. For maximum durability, finish with two coats of Bona Traffic HD. For domestic and medium commercial floors where a convenient one-component system is preferred, use Bona Mega EVO .
Compatible Topcoats
| Compatible Finish | Recommended Use | Finished Appearance |
|---|---|---|
| Bona Traffic HD | Heavy domestic and demanding commercial floors | Maximum durability while retaining the rich amber colour created by the primer |
| Bona Mega EVO | Domestic and medium commercial flooring | Warm natural appearance with convenient one-component application |
| Bona Traffic HD Raw | High-traffic floors requiring an ultra-matt surface | Ultra-matt protection with a warm amber base rather than a raw, untreated colour |
Bona Amber can be overcoated with Bona waterborne wood floor lacquers. Select the sheen and performance level required for the finished floor. Always test the complete primer and topcoat system on the actual timber before treating the full area.
Choosing the Right Bona Primer
| Primer | Colour Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Bona Amber | Rich, warm amber colour | Oak, darker woods, tropical timber and traditional finishes |
| Bona Intense | Medium-rich wood colour | Most wood species where moderate warmth is preferred |
| Bona Classic UX | Medium-light, natural colour | General-purpose priming with minimal colour enhancement |
| Bona Natural Primer | Light, untreated raw wood effect | Freshly sanded and pale natural finishes |
| Bona White | Whitewashed or Scandinavian effect | Oak, ash, pine and other lighter timber species |

Floor Preparation
- Sand the floor evenly back to clean, bare timber.
- Complete the final sanding pass consistently across the full area.
- Vacuum the floor thoroughly, including joints, corners and edges.
- Ensure the timber is dry and free from oil, wax, polish and contamination.
- Bring the primer and floor to a suitable working temperature before use.
- Test the complete primer and topcoat system on the actual timber.
Application
- Shake or mix Bona Amber thoroughly before use to ensure an even product.
- Apply an even first coat using a Bona SuperCoat Roller , working methodically and maintaining a wet edge.
- Avoid heavy deposits, puddles and uneven roller overlap.
- Allow approximately 1–2 hours to dry under normal conditions.
- Apply a second even coat of Bona Amber.
- Allow the primer system to dry fully before applying the selected Bona waterborne topcoat.
- Apply the chosen lacquer in accordance with its current Technical Data Sheet.
Recommended Gap Preparation
Where fine joints or minor defects require filling before priming, use Bona Mix & Fill Plus . Allow the filler to dry completely and finish sanding the floor before applying Bona Amber.
Important: Bona Amber intentionally changes and enriches the colour of the timber. The final appearance will vary according to the wood species, sanding sequence, application rate and selected topcoat. Tropical timbers and highly coloured woods should always be tested first. Maintain a wet edge and avoid localised touch-ins, as differences in film build can affect the finished colour.
