  There are many finish options available to the homeowner these days. At Eco Option's, we strive to bring the finest finish's from around the world to your home. We currently specialize in the finishes that we have found to be the most durable and give the most options from a design standpoint.
Rubio Monocoat is a designers dream! Any color you can think of and the ability to add a second color dimension with one of the many colored oils, allow this finish to give you that "old world", weathered look with a new, fresh and modern flair.
"Monocoat all-natural oil wood floor finishes are plant-based, VOC-free and completely non-toxic oil finishes of extraordinary durability. Available in clear finish and more than 30 color finishes, all apply evenly in a single coating. All Monocoat finishes are easily maintained, and provide a subtle lustre that reveals and complements, rather than covers, the natural grain and patina of the wood."
  Vermeister is the pinnacle of waterborne finishes. We fell in love with the look that Vermeister gives along with its incredible durability. We can often sand and finish your home while you are at work. With available "ZERO" voc, 2 component finishes that dry in a couple hrs. Teamed up with a dust free sanding job there is little need to leave your house during the process. Convenient safe and clean. Our customers actually report to us that this finish will repel spilled liquids allowing plenty of time to clean it up.
  I often tell customers that the finishes we use are the ones we would use in our own homes. They represent the absolute best that the industry has to offer.
But whats a great finish without a great sand job? With over 30 yrs between my partner and I, you can rest assured that you will get the best looking floor possible!

  Rubio Monocoat is such a flexible finishing system! Their oil might be user friendly but once you start trying to apply their pre-colors onsite, you had better practice on a test floor! This job came out beautiful. One of the nicest we have done to date. This house had it all. Two different colors of Rubio as well as a room of hickory that we stained a light grey. 
We have been getting many calls lately requesting the "weathered" look. I feel that Rubio is the best way to get this look. There really is nothing like it!

This is Vermeister. As you can see it does NOT cover the grain like most water based finish.
It accentuates it! After trying as many finishes as possible I can safely say that nothing can make the wood look like this especially while giving you the ultimate in floor protection.This product is a 2 component finish, meaning there are 2 parts to mix. Once mixed the finish starts to harden as it dries. Much like an epoxy, but without the fumes or V.O.C.'s.
Our clean sanding process paired with this clean finish means theres no need to leave your home during the process. It dries so fast the floor is ready for shoeless foot traffic that night!


Onsite wire-brush project with Rubio Monocoat.

Picture
  Our onsite wire-brushing treatment came out a success!
These are solid oak floors installed and sanded by Eco. We wire-brushed the floors, cleaned them really well and started our two part "bronzed" treatment. This floor is butter smooth despite the soft grain being removed. They will also darken over time as the ZERO v.o.c. finish really starts to "mingle" with the tannins present in the oak.
Furniture quality for your floors.

Bronzed Floor


Old heart pine flooring project/ jacobean oak stain & waterbased finish

Picture
   Our most recent project is a home that was built in 1723 by a wood "joiner".
There are many ways to refinish these old floors. We agreed with the home owner that the floors should look as if the wood was just cut down. This would require a lighter shade finish that is durable as well as non-yellowing.
Being water based specialists', we knew just what to use. Most of the home has Vermeister satin finish, while the kitchen received Bona Naturale. 
The results are stunning!

Vermeister Zero- First and only zero V.O.C. waterbased finish!

Picture
"Completely solvent-free water based aliphatic polyurethane finish. ZERO VOC can be used both as a single component product or as a two-component product after adding  ZERO VOC BOOST. Produced with partially renewable raw materials,  ZERO VOC is ideal for use in the green building sector and when applied directly to the wood it does not alter the shade and gives it a very natural effect."


Needless to say we are very excited for Zero to land on our shores! Now we have a super durable, great looking, ZERO voc finish. This product will change the way we look at finishes. Zero voc in a super durable fast drying finish.
