Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra is a clear matt wood finish based on natural oil for exterior wood ap...Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra is a clear matt wood finish based on natural oil for exterior wood applications such as doors, windows, window shutters, carports, timber cladding, balconies, fences, pergolas, summer houses, and bamboo poles. It is enriched with active ingredients to protect against mould, algae, and fungal attacks, offering enhanced protection compared to the standard UV Protection Oil. This oil creates a microporous surface that allows the wood to breathe, minimizing swelling and shrinkage. It is also water-repellent and will not crack, peel, or flake. When applied as a top coat over pre-coloured wood, Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Clear 1420 significantly reduces reapplication frequency. It provides UV protection with a factor of 12, blocking the greying process of untreated wood when two coats are applied. For optimal results, a coloured base coat like Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain or Osmo Country Colour is recommended.
