Osmo UV-Protection Oil is a matt clear finish for exterior wood especially recommended for vertical surfaces such as solid oak doors, windows, timber cladding, fences, pergolas, etc. This product is micro-porous, thus allowing the wood to breathe. Because the oil does not form a seal on the surface of the wood it cannot peel, flake, crack or blister. It is based on natural oils and offers a very clear, natural effect when compared to other 'clear' oils and penetrates into the wood grain aiding the natural elasticity of the wood and helping to reduce shrinkage and swelling.

The complete finish blocks the greying process by a UV-Protection Factor of 12 in comparison to untreated wood and reduces shrinking and swelling of the wood. Containing active ingredients which protect from mould, algae and fungal attack, it is easy to apply as it does not dry during application, does not require a primer and can be renewed without the need for sanding. This oil prolongs the renovation time significantly when used as a top coat for staining wood

1 Litre covers approximately 16-20m2 on smooth wood - stripped and rough sawn will require more material.
