Product Information
Full details
Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra in White is an ideal finish for homeowners and professionals looking to protect and preserve vertical outdoor wood surfaces like cladding, doors, and window frames. This product offers superior UV resistance and a moisture-regulating barrier that keeps timber healthy while preventing swelling, though users should note that it is specifically formulated for vertical surfaces rather than high-wear horizontal decking.

FAQs
Can I use this on my wooden deck?
No, this product is specifically designed for vertical wood surfaces and is not intended for high-traffic horizontal decking.
Do I need to sand the wood before reapplying?
No, one of the primary benefits of this oil is that it does not crack or flake, meaning you can clean the surface and apply a new coat directly.
How much area does a 1-litre tin cover?
A 1-litre tin covers approximately 18 square metres per coat.
How many coats are recommended?
We recommend applying two coats for the best UV protection and longevity.
Is it safe for my garden plants?
Yes, once the finish has fully cured, it is safe for humans, plants, and animals.
Does it prevent wood from turning grey?
Yes, the UV protection properties are specifically included to help resist the natural greying process caused by sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
The finish looks patchy or uneven.
This is often caused by applying the oil too thickly; ensure you are spreading the product thinly along the wood grain.
The wood is not absorbing the oil well.
Ensure the surface is completely free of old paint, varnish, or wax. If the wood is weathered and dirty, clean it thoroughly before application.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and frost-free before application. If the wood has been previously treated with a film-forming finish, you must remove it entirely before using Osmo UV Protection Oil.
- Stir the oil well before use.
- Apply the first coat thinly and evenly with an Osmo brush or microfiber roller.
- Allow the first coat to dry for approximately 12 hours with good ventilation.
- Apply the second coat following the same procedure.
For regular care, simply remove loose dirt with a broom. When the wood looks dull after several years, apply a new coat directly over the cleaned, dry surface.
