Bona Mega EVO is a next-generation, one-component waterborne wood floor lacquer featuring self-crosslinking technology that activates as the coating is applied.

Designed for heavy domestic and commercial wood floors, it combines fast curing with excellent resistance to scratches, wear and household chemicals. Its smooth consistency provides excellent flow, levelling and filling power, while the ready-to-use 1K formulation requires no separate hardener or mixing.

Available in 1L and 5L sizes and four sheen levels: Silk Matt, Matt, Extra Matt and Ultra Matt.

Wiltshire Wood Recommendation:
For the most dependable and even result, use one coat of a suitable Bona wood floor primer followed by two coats of Bona Mega EVO. A primer is particularly important on softwood plank floors, end-grain flooring and hardwood floors installed over underfloor heating, where there is a greater risk of side-bonding.

Choose Your Sheen

Finish	Sheen at 60°	Appearance
Ultra Matt	Approximately 5%	The lowest-sheen option, creating a highly natural, understated appearance with very little visible reflection.
Extra Matt	Approximately 10%	A modern low-sheen finish that keeps the floor looking natural while remaining straightforward to maintain.
Matt	Approximately 20%	A balanced matt finish with slightly more depth and definition than Extra Matt.
Silk Matt	Approximately 40%	A soft satin-style sheen that enhances timber colour, grain and visual depth.

Sheen figures are laboratory measurements taken on glass. The appearance on timber will vary according to the wood species, sanding sequence, primer, application rate and lighting.

Compatible Bona Primers

Compatible Primer	Colour Effect	Best For
Bona Classic UX	Medium-light natural timber colour	The dependable all-round system for most wood species and everyday flooring projects.
Bona Natural Primer	Light, freshly sanded raw wood appearance	Pale and untreated-looking floors, particularly with Mega EVO Ultra Matt.
Bona White	Whitewashed Scandinavian appearance	Oak, ash, pine and lighter timber floors requiring a pale or whitewashed finish.
Bona Intense	Medium-rich, warm timber colour	Most wood species, including dense and tropical timbers, plank floors and floors over underfloor heating.
Bona Amber	Deep, traditional amber colour	Oak, darker timbers and floors requiring the rich appearance associated with traditional solvent-based finishes.

Always test the complete primer and lacquer system on the actual timber before treating the full floor. Timber species, existing repairs and natural colour variation will affect the finished appearance.

Bona SuperCoat Roller Head 250mm – designed for an even application rate across timber floors.
Bona 250mm Roller Handle – compatible with the Bona SuperCoat Roller Head.
Telescopic Extension Pole & Bona Roller Set – a convenient complete applicator setup for larger areas.

Floor Preparation

Allow the floor to acclimatise to its normal end-use environment.
Sand the surface evenly back to clean, bare timber.
Complete the final sanding sequence consistently across the full area.
Remove all sanding dust using professional dust extraction and vacuuming.
Ensure the floor is dry and free from oil, wax, polish and contamination.
Allow the lacquer to reach room temperature before use.
Ideal application conditions are approximately 18–25°C and 30–60% relative humidity. The minimum application temperature is 13°C.

Treatment Options

Floor Preparation	Recommended Coating System
Untreated timber using a Bona primer	1 coat Bona primer followed by 2 coats Bona Mega EVO
Untreated timber without a primer	3 coats Bona Mega EVO

Primer Required on Higher-Movement Floors:
Always use a suitable Bona primer on floors with an increased risk of side-bonding, including end-grain floors, softwood plank floors and hardwood floors installed over underfloor heating.

Application

Allow the lacquer to reach room temperature, fit the container filter and shake vigorously for approximately 60 seconds.
Apply evenly using a Bona roller or swivel-head applicator at approximately 8–10m² per litre.
Roll alternately across and with the direction of the timber grain.
Maintain a wet edge throughout and avoid puddles, heavy deposits and dry overlaps.
Allow each coat to dry thoroughly for approximately 1–2 hours before continuing.
Before the final coat, carry out an intermediate abrasion using the Bona Scrad system at P150 grit or finer, then remove all dust.
Apply the final coat evenly and maintain good ventilation throughout drying.
Where any coat has been left for more than 24 hours, always abrade before applying the next coat.

Gap & Surface Preparation

Before applying the primer or lacquer, fill fine joints and minor defects using Bona Mix & Fill Plus . For flexible perimeter gaps around skirting boards and thresholds, use Bona Gap Master where appropriate.

Cleaning & Maintenance

For everyday maintenance, use a pH-neutral cleaner designed for lacquered timber floors, such as the Bona Premium Wood Floor Spray Mop .
Avoid general household detergents, steam cleaners and excessive water.
Do not damp mop, cover the floor with rugs or place protective coverings over it until the lacquer has fully cured.
Use suitable felt protection beneath furniture and avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor.

Important: Light foot traffic may resume after approximately 8 hours, but the surface remains vulnerable to scratching until fully cured. Bona Mega EVO reaches approximately 80% cure after 24 hours and full cure after around 5 days under normal conditions. Do not cover, damp mop or expose the floor to heavy use before full cure. Always follow the current Bona Technical Data Sheet.

1. What is Bona Mega EVO used for?

Bona Mega EVO is a water-based, one-component wood floor finish designed for residential and light commercial areas. It offers excellent durability, resistance to wear, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for wood floors in high-traffic areas.

2. How do I apply Bona Mega EVO?

Bona Mega EVO can be applied using a roller or brush. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and dirt. Apply an even layer along the wood grain. Allow it to dry before applying additional coats, if necessary. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal protection.

3. How long does Bona Mega EVO take to dry?

Under normal conditions (20°C and 60% relative humidity), Bona Mega EVO takes about 2-3 hours to dry to the touch. Full curing occurs in approximately 7 days. During this time, avoid heavy traffic and exposure to water.

4. How many coats of Bona Mega EVO should I apply?

For best results, two to three coats of Bona Mega EVO are recommended. If you are using a primer, one to two coats may be sufficient depending on the floor’s condition.

5. Why is it important to use a primer with Bona Mega EVO?

Using a primer helps to seal the wood and prevent uneven absorption of the finish, resulting in a more uniform appearance. A primer, such as Bona Prime Classic or Bona Prime Intense, also enhances adhesion and adds an extra layer of protection. Additionally, primers can help maintain the natural color of the wood or enhance specific looks, depending on your preference.

6. What Bona primers are compatible with Bona Mega EVO?

Bona Mega EVO is compatible with several Bona water-based primers, including:

Bona Prime Classic: Ideal for a natural, even look, suitable for most wood species.
Bona Prime Intense: Provides added durability and is great for high-traffic areas.
Bona Prime Amberseal: Enhances the warm tones of the wood, giving it an amber, oiled look.
Bona Natural Primer: Designed to retain the natural, untreated appearance of the wood, minimising colour change.

These primers enhance the performance of Bona Mega EVO and help achieve the desired look and protection.

7. Can Bona Mega EVO be used on all types of wood floors?

Yes, Bona Mega EVO can be used on all types of wood floors, including both softwood and hardwood. It is ideal for residential floors and light commercial areas.

8. Does Bona Mega EVO change the color of the wood?

Bona Mega EVO provides a clear finish that enhances the wood's natural beauty without significantly altering its colour. It can be paired with a primer to achieve specific looks or to maintain the natural appearance of the wood.

9. Is Bona Mega EVO environmentally friendly?

Yes, Bona Mega EVO is water-based and has low VOC content, making it an environmentally friendly option. It is GREENGUARD certified, meaning it meets strict indoor air quality standards and is safe for use in homes and commercial spaces.

10. What are the benefits of using Bona Mega EVO?

Bona Mega EVO provides excellent durability, wear resistance, and chemical resistance. It is easy to apply, dries quickly, and does not require any mixing since it is a one-component finish. This makes it a convenient option for both professionals and DIY users.

11. Do I need to sand between coats when using Bona Mega EVO?

Yes, a light sanding between coats is recommended to ensure a smooth and even surface for the next coat. Make sure the first coat is completely dry before sanding.

12. How should Bona Mega EVO be stored?

Store Bona Mega EVO in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to preserve the quality of the product.
