FAQ - Performance & Standards
Is Benif appropriate for commercial interiors?
Yes. Benif is designed for commercial applications including hospitality, healthcare, workplace, retail, and multi-family environments.

FAQ - Substrate & Surface Requirements
What substrates are acceptable?
Benif may be applied to smooth, clean, stable, and non-porous substrates. Existing finishes must be sound, fully adhered, and properly prepared.
Can Benif be applied over existing materials?
