TIMBER THAT LOOKS RAW

We have been asked for timber flooring that retains the raw look while it is in fact coated with a protective oil surface. We are delighted to announce that we now have samples of the Osmo Raw finish on display at VCS. This is a superb look to have in a floor. It is amazing.

The timber appears raw and it has a lovely texture.

Because we are based in Western Australia we decided to coat Jarrah and NSW Blackbutt samples. The timber looks and feels raw using a coat of raw oil with an additional OSMO matte top coat.

Superb look.

UV protection outside using OSMO Oils

OSMO 420 is a UV protection oil that you need to apply to exposed external timber surfaces to protect your surface from UV rays by a factor of 12. Screens and cladding are obvious applications. Timber cladding in Australia often has either no coating or else a light acrylic sealer which offers almost no UV protection. [It is anticipated that the cladding will be used in an undercover alfresco area.] Reflected harsh light off pools or exposure to even a small amount of weathering is serious. UV oil is essential to provide nourishment and effective UV filtering to the timber.

Timber screening likewise needs protection. Screening is available in decorative timber choices and it is a pity to have to paint these in a solid paint colour. With UV protection oil this can be overcome.

It is easy to apply and very economical. Simply apply two coats and enjoy protection from harmful UV light.

This unique product is like painting a UV film onto your external surfaces. The results are simply amazing.
Users report a richer colour and improved appearance of the timber surface..

OSMO 420 is available in clear coats and has already demonstrated that oils can do amazing things when they are blended correctly.
