Safeguard Your Exterior Wood With Osmo UV Protection Oil
Most people are aware of the fact that UV rays are bad for your skin and your eyes, which is why most people wear sunscreen and sunglasses when it’s hot out. However, it’s not the only thing that needs safeguarding from these harsh rays, as exterior wood can be robbed of its colour over time.
As any good tradesperson will know, untreated wood will turn to something of a faded, corroded patina colour under prolonged exposure to sunlight, which not only looks unsightly but can result in costly damage being caused if it’s left for too long. The good news is that Osmo 420 UV Protection Oil is the perfect antidote. View all our Osmo products here.
Slow Greying By Up to 12 Times
Osmo UV protection oil is a market leader and it’s been developed to be highly effective at maintaining the natural colour of wood. It’s so effective at what it does that once applied, it can slow the greying process by as much as 12 times. It offers a microporous finish too, which means that it won’t blister, peel, flake or crack.
It’s also dirt and water-resistant, as well as being moisture regulating, something that helps it to prevent shrinking and swelling of the wood it’s been applied to. It’s ideal for windows, doors, cladding fences and most types of vertical joinery, with the only place it’s not good for being flat surfaces.
Easily Applied, Lasts For Years
Application for Osmo UV protection oil is really easy too, as it can all be done in one coat and there’s no sanding needed beforehand. So long as the surface is dry and clean, you can go right ahead and start applying. It’s an application that will last up to 4 years before it needs doing again, depending on the degree of weathering that exists.
Available in 750ml and 2.5L options, Osmo UV protection oil is safe for both pets and humans (once dry) and it also contains biocides, meaning that it can stop the growth of mildew and algae. It’s a popular choice for garden maintenance jobs, particularly as it provides such long-lasting protection.
All Exterior Wood Fades With Time
The fact is that all exterior wood is subject to fading due to sun damage and it’s something that even occurs when it’s not sunny with UVA rays still being able to cause fading through the clouds.
However, with Osmo UV protection oil applied, this is drastically reduced and your customer jobs will stay looking amazing for years.
