Osmo UV Protection Oil - Test Results Nov'09




After nine months of being exposed to all that Glasgow's weather can throw at them, we've brought the sample pieces of oak back inside to look at the results. The piece on the left had two coats of Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra applied which was left for 18 hours between coats. The piece on the right was not treated with anything.




As you can see the treated piece of oak on the left has retained both it's colour and finish. Being a microporous finish the wood has been able to expand and contract in differing climates which has also prevented it from cracking or peeling.


In our opinion this is by far the best clear exterior finish we have found, so much so that we are now confidently recommending and supplying it through our online shop.
