Default Floor varnish changing colour of floorboards

OK, thanks. So what still available now, that you would class as
"traditional" varnish?


Any of the high VoC content jobbies, and not the quick drying type. (the
latter are not as hard wearing)


What's puzzling is that none of the high VOC varnishes I've seen in
the sheds are billed as floor varnishes - for example:

I also have a tin in the cupboard of Ronseal Ultra Tough Satincoat,
also high VOC, which I used on a worktop. The tin suggests uses on all
sorts of furniture, but omits to mention floors.

I'm puzzled that while the sheds continue to sell high VOC solvent
based varnishes, the only ones they have that are explicitly floor
varnishes are medium or low VOC water based varnishes. Makes no sense
to me.
