I believe the Matte Lacquer floors are what you are interested in, But we did have very good experience with UV Oiled floors in the past. Let me know if we can be further help.

Ciranova is a difficult product to get with their limited distributors and ridiculous prices. Very good products, I like their reactive stain lines. They have unique products, such as their colored reactive stains, water base stains and pink blockers. I would use their product more often but do not like having to buy in bulk. Having finishes sit around is no good. The products get old and the ingredients becomes expired: no good. Buying in bulk means I need to purchase around $1000 minimum of each product needed. It gets too expensive when they have several colors and finishes. I don't do sales so, it makes no sense for me economically. Which Ciranova white-wash color are you looking to do?

I installed Duchateau engineered wood floors with a hardwax oil finish in the house we built this past year. We moved in in January of this year and we have 3 dogs and we allow shoes in the house. I am really happy with the floors so far. I did chose an aged character hand sculpted floor, which I think is important if you want to hide some wear and scratches. A perfect smooth finish will show every tiny scratch, but a floor with some character will hide a lot more and make it easier to touch up those scratches so they blend in. So far we have only been doing regular vacuuming and a weekly mop cleaning with the cleaning products sold by the manufacturer. My plan is to use the oil refresh product once a year in the heavily used areas/rooms in the house. The great thing with the oil is that you don't have to do the whole space and can just move furniture out of one area/room at a time. Unlike a refresh coat of poly that has to be applied all at the same time. I looked at a lot of engineered wood floors while doing my research! I looked at Mirage, but did not like the plastic shine on their poly finishes. I also didn't like their medium brown stains as they seemed to have a slight purple tone to them. The other hardwax oil floor that I considered was from Legno Bastone. I really liked their specs with a well finished product and longer board lengths, but they didn't offer a rustic/character finish.
