What is Garden Furniture oil used for?
Garden furniture Oil is a type of oil-based wood treatment used to protect and enhance the appearance of wooden furniture or structures in outdoor settings. Garden furniture oil is specifically formulated to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting protection against moisture, UV rays and other environmental factors that can cause damage to the wood.
These oils penetrate the wood surface, nourishing and moisturising the timber to prevent drying, cracking and splitting. Applying garden furniture oil to wooden outdoor furniture is essential to maintain your wood as it will help repel water, help prevent rot and minimise the effects of sun exposure.
Is Teak oil good for garden furniture?
Teak Oil is often used on hard wood garden furniture as it produces a hard wearing, satin finish that can penetrate the timber. Liberon Teak Oil is a really good option as it has been made from a blend of pure, high quality Tung oil and Linseed oil mix. This nourishes, protects and enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain on exotic oily woods whilst adding additional UV filters. With Oily hardwoods sometimes it is best to allow several weeks of weathering time before application to allow the extractive content to be washed out and this will allow the teak oil to absorb better.
