Morrells Induro XL1 Clear 1K Polyurethane Wood Floor Lacquer is a high-performance, single-component waterborne finish designed to provide a durable, clear and non-yellowing protective coating on interior timber floors.
Colour and appearance: Induro XL1 is a clear, transparent topcoat. Matt, Silk Matt and Extra Matt (Natro) describe the sheen, not the colour. The timber, stain and sealer beneath remain visible, while the lacquer may deepen and enhance their existing tone.
Supplied ready to use straight from the container, Induro XL1 requires no separate catalyst or hardener and has none of the restricted pot-life associated with two-component lacquer systems.
Its smooth, self-levelling formulation provides excellent flow and clarity while helping protect timber against abrasion, scuffs, household spillages and everyday foot traffic. It is suitable for solid, engineered, parquet and herringbone wood flooring in domestic and light to medium commercial environments.
Supplied in a 5L container and available in Matt, Silk Matt and Extra Matt (Natro) .
Wiltshire Wood Recommendation:
For most oak, pine and commonly used hardwood floors, apply one coat of
Morrells Induro GP Wood Floor Sealer
followed by two coats of Induro XL1 for domestic use or three coats for
commercial and higher-traffic applications.
For tropical, oily or potentially contaminated timber, use Morrells Induro Isosil Wood Floor Sealer instead of GP Sealer to isolate natural oils, waxes and residual contamination before lacquering.
| Product | System | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Morrells Induro XL1 |
1K waterborne polyurethane lacquer
No catalyst required |
Domestic and light to medium commercial floors where convenient, ready-to-use application is preferred. |
| Morrells Induro XL2 |
2K waterborne polyurethane lacquer
Catalyst included |
Busy domestic, commercial and high-traffic floors requiring greater abrasion, chemical and mechanical resistance. |
Choose Induro XL1 where simple one-component application is the priority. Choose Induro XL2 where maximum durability is required for demanding or heavily trafficked environments.
| Finish | Appearance | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Matt (Natro) | The lowest-sheen option, designed to provide a subtle and highly natural-looking surface with minimal visible reflection. | Contemporary interiors and customers wanting the closest appearance to untreated or lightly finished timber. |
| Matt | A restrained low-sheen finish that preserves a natural appearance while adding gentle depth to the timber. | Modern domestic and commercial floors where a balanced matt finish is preferred. |
| Silk Matt | A soft satin-style sheen that enhances grain definition, colour and visual depth. | Traditional and premium interiors where a richer, more defined timber appearance is desired. |
The finished appearance will vary according to the timber species, sanding sequence, selected sealer, application rate and lighting. Always complete a representative test area before treating the full floor.
| Compatible Sealer | Colour Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Morrells Induro GP Wood Floor Sealer | Enhances the natural warmth and grain definition of the timber. | Oak, pine and most commonly used solid and engineered flooring timbers. |
| Morrells Induro Isosil Sealer | Clear shellac-based barrier coat with excellent clarity. | Tropical, oily, resinous or potentially contaminated timber where natural oils, waxes or previous treatments may affect the lacquer. |
Induro XL1 may also be applied directly to correctly prepared bare timber where a primer is not required. For the most consistent colour, adhesion and professional finish, the appropriate Morrells sealer system is recommended.
Induro XL1 can be used as part of a coloured Morrells floor-finishing system. Apply a suitable interior wood stain, allow it to dry fully, then use the appropriate Morrells sealer before applying the lacquer coats.
| Stain Range | Appearance | Application Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Morrells Light Fast Wood Stain | Fast-drying translucent colour with excellent grain definition and depth. | Apply evenly, remove excess stain and allow a minimum of approximately two hours before applying the selected floor sealer. |
| Morrells SCANDI Wood Stains | Nordic-inspired natural tones and contemporary pigmented colours. | Apply using the recommended rag-on, rag-off method and test the complete stain, sealer and lacquer system before treating the floor. |
Staining Important: Remove all excess stain and allow it to dry completely before applying the chosen sealer. Heavy stain deposits or unsuitable exterior and water-repellent stains may affect the adhesion of a waterborne lacquer system. Always test the complete finish on the actual timber.
| Floor or Desired Result | Recommended System |
|---|---|
| Most oak, pine and standard hardwood floors | 1 coat of Morrells Induro GP Sealer followed by 2 coats of Induro XL1 for domestic use or 3 coats for commercial and higher-traffic applications. |
| Tropical, oily or potentially contaminated timber | 1 coat of Morrells Induro Isosil Sealer followed by the required Induro XL1 coats. |
| Stained timber flooring | Suitable Morrells Light Fast or SCANDI Wood Stain , followed by the appropriate GP or Isosil sealer and the required Induro XL1 lacquer coats. |
| Fine joints, nail holes and surface defects | Fill before final sanding using Morrells Mix & Fill mixed with clean sanding dust from the floor. |
