The best oil for decks

Timber decks need protection. That is the simple part. When you start looking at all the recommendations for oils it gets complicated. Over the years we have used a number of oils with varying degrees of success. Our final conclusion is that many are quite similar.

Just one is a standout product. OSMO.

Why? Osmo offers three unique properties.

1   Genuinely environmentally sound oil products. Feel free to look up OSMO on the web and you will discover lots of positive comments.

2   Anti Slip oils. The system includes a top coat of 430 anti slip. This surface provides real traction. After all you do walk on the deck when its wet! So a little extra traction is a great idea.

3   Colours. All oils must contain some colour to protect the timber from UV as much as possible. OSMO incorporates subtle colours that assist here. Teak, Oak, Bangkirai & Masaranduba are all great colours.

The product range can be used on children's toys. This gives a beautiful appearance combined with safety.

Why More People Are Using Osmo Oil Finishes

Why use Osmo products?

Osmo oils contain natural vegetable oils and waxes. Natural oils & waxes penetrate deeply into the timber surface, keeping it elastic and healthy and preventing it from getting dry and brittle. The timber is allowed to breathe. Natural movement of moisture can occur. Shrinking and swelling is reduced.

Osmo oils do not contain biocides or preservatives. They are safe for man, animal and plant when dry and comply with international standards. They may be used on children’s toys. It is a remarkably safe range of products for timber floors and other timber applications. It is also very easy to use!

 

Osmo oil surfaces may be repaired easily. So unsightly scratches [which cannot be easily fixed on polyurethane floors] can be easily repaired using an Osmo oil on the surface.

Your floor may not need future sanding activity. Simply clean thoroughly and apply a further coat of finish. No living with scratches or worn floors. Simply apply an additional coat of oil and you have a new floor surface. You can even just treat the worn areas. It’s that simple.

The oils are naturally resistant against wine, beer, cola, coffee, tee, fruit juices, milk & water etc when dry.
