Coloured oils for timber decks from Osmo. Transparent, satin, high quality wood finishes based on natural oils. Designed to meet the demands of exposed, exterior timber decking.

Available in 10 colours plus clear (007 Clear/Teak).

Osmo's Decking Oils are easy to apply, maintain and rejuvenate. In full weather conditions, a rejuvenation coat would be required every 12-18 months, based on an initial 2 coat application. Where the deck is protected by a roof, and is not exposed to full weather, re-coat approximately every 2 years.

Due to the strength of the UV rays in Australia, two coats of coloured Decking Oil is recommended - Clear decking oil will not last under Australian weather conditions. Rejuvenation should only be one coat.

Additional Advice:

Coverage is approximately 20-24 square metres per litre on new dressed hardwoods. On new softwoods such as treated pine, coverage will be approximately 10-12 square metres per litre. Coverage rates on old weathered timbers will be much less.  

Osmo's clear Decking Oil 007 has no UV resistance. In full exposure, the clear finish will last 3-4 months before a re-coat is needed. The clear decking oil is more suited for exterior timbers which are under cover, or are fully protected from the elements such as an outdoor room.

A trial is always recommended first to determine suitability.
