Product Information
Full details
Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra in Grey is a high-performance, lightly pigmented wood finish specifically formulated for vertical exterior timber surfaces like cladding, doors, and window frames. It is ideal for homeowners and professionals looking to protect outdoor wood against UV damage and weathering while maintaining a natural, breathable finish. While it offers excellent durability and moisture regulation, it is important to note that this product is designed specifically for vertical applications and is not suitable for horizontal surfaces like decking where foot traffic would cause premature wear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this on my wooden deck?
No, this product is designed for vertical surfaces. It is not formulated to withstand the mechanical wear caused by foot traffic.
Do I need to sand the wood between coats?
No. One of the main benefits of Osmo UV Protection Oil is that it does not crack or peel, allowing for simple re-oiling without sanding.
Is this product safe for my pets?
Yes, once the oil is fully cured, it is safe for humans, animals, and plants.
How many coats are recommended?
For optimal protection against UV and weathering, two thin coats are recommended for new timber.
Can I apply this over a different brand of oil?
It is recommended to sand back any existing coatings to ensure the Osmo oil can properly penetrate the wood fibers.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour appearance
The product may not have been stirred thoroughly; ensure the pigments are fully mixed before and during application.
Long drying time
Apply thinner coats and ensure adequate ventilation and warmer temperatures in the work area.
Surface feels sticky
Too much product was applied. Wipe away excess oil with a lint-free cloth and allow more time for the thin layer to cure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and frost-free before application. If the wood was previously painted or varnished, all traces of old films must be removed via sanding. Apply the oil thinly and evenly using a flat wood-stain brush or a microfibre roller, working along the wood grain. To maintain the finish, simply clean the surface periodically and apply a single fresh coat to the clean, dry surface when the protection begins to fade—no sanding necessary. Store containers tightly closed in a cool, dry place to prevent skinning of the oil.
