Novalk FAQ
Everything finishers ask about buying and using Novalk in the United States.
What is Novalk?
Novalk is a line of professional industrial wood coatings made in Spain — conversion varnishes, polyurethanes, and Aqua Nova waterborne finishes for cabinets, doors, and millwork. In the United States, Novalk is distributed by Wild Fox Coatings.
Where can I buy Novalk in the USA?
Novalk is stocked in the United States by Wild Fox Coatings, based in Littleton, Colorado. Order online for local pickup or nationwide shipping.
How do I try Novalk before buying full sizes?
Order the Novalk Starter Kit. It lets you test the finishes on your own doors and cabinets before committing to full sizes.
What is Aqua Nova?
Aqua Nova is Novalk's waterborne line, packaged in white cans, valued for lower odor and water cleanup. Solvent-based Novalk coatings come in blue cans.
Is Novalk for professionals or DIYers?
Novalk is built for professional finishers — cabinet shops, furniture makers, and contractors who spray. The systems are two-component and designed for shop or on-site professional application.
What's the difference between conversion varnish and polyurethane?
Conversion varnish is a fast-building, durable catalyzed topcoat popular for cabinetry. Two-component polyurethane offers even greater chemical, moisture, and abrasion resistance for doors, tabletops, and high-wear surfaces.
Can Novalk ship to my state?
Yes — Wild Fox Coatings ships Novalk nationwide across the U.S., or you can pick up locally in Littleton, CO.
