Junckers Primers & Treatments

Getting a coloured floor oil to sit evenly starts before the oil ever goes on, and that's what this small collection handles: a solvent-based SB Primer sits alongside four water-based WB Primer tones — Clear, White, Nordic and Driftwood Grey — each applied to bare or freshly sanded wood ahead of finishing. The tinted WB Primers are built to pair with Junckers' matching Coloured Rustic Floor Oil range, giving a more consistent base for the topcoat.

Key Features

• WB Primer, water-based, in Clear, White, Nordic and Driftwood Grey
• SB Primer, a solvent-based alternative
• Tinted options matching Junckers' Rustic Floor Oil colours, for a coordinated finish
• 5L bottles, suited to larger floor areas

Preparing the Surface Before the Colour Goes On

Applying a primer before a coloured floor oil helps the final coat take more evenly across the wood, particularly on bare or freshly sanded timber that can otherwise absorb oil unevenly. Because the WB Primer tones — Nordic, Driftwood Grey and White — are designed to match Junckers' own coloured Rustic Floor Oil range, using the corresponding primer first helps the final colour come through more consistently, while Clear suits projects wanting the timber's natural tone to show through. SB Primer offers a solvent-based alternative where that suits the project better.

Where These Products Work Best

• Bare or freshly sanded solid wood floors — primer helps the following coat take evenly
• Projects using Junckers' Coloured Rustic Floor Oil — the matching tinted primers support a more consistent final colour
• Rooms wanting the natural wood tone to show through — Clear WB Primer suits this without adding colour
• Projects with a preference for solvent-based products — SB Primer offers that alternative**
