Wood Oils

Wood Oils for Furniture, Floors and Timber

Wood oil is a popular way to enhance the appearance of timber while providing a practical finish. Depending on the type of oil, it can be used on furniture, flooring, worktops, doors, garden furniture and other wooden surfaces. Our range includes traditional wood oils as well as modern hard wax oils and specialist finishes for particular applications.

We stock wood oils from well-known manufacturers including Osmo, Fiddes, Liberon, Rustins, Mylands and Polyvine, giving you a choice of finishes, colours and levels of protection.

Choosing the Right Wood Oil

The best wood oil depends on the timber, the location of the wood and the type of finish you want to achieve. For furniture and interior woodwork, products such as Danish oil, finishing oil and hard wax oil can provide a natural-looking finish while enhancing the grain.

For wooden floors, hard wax oils and specialist floor oils are designed to provide a durable finish suitable for areas subject to regular use. Worktops require an oil specifically suited to kitchen surfaces, while exterior timber needs a product designed for outdoor conditions.

Clear, Coloured and Tinted Wood Oils

Wood oils are available in clear and coloured finishes. A clear oil can enhance the natural colour and grain of the timber, while a tinted oil can alter or enrich the colour without completely hiding the character of the wood.

Our range includes a wide selection of tinted and coloured oils, making it possible to achieve anything from a subtle change of colour to a more distinctive decorative finish.

Traditional Wood Oils

We offer several traditional wood oils for furniture restoration and general woodworking. These include Danish oil, teak oil, tung oil and raw or boiled linseed oil. Each type has different characteristics, so it is important to select an oil that is suitable for the particular timber and application.

Hard Wax Oil

Hard wax oil combines oils with waxes to create a durable wood finish. It is particularly popular for furniture and wooden flooring and is available in both clear and tinted finishes. Products such as Osmo Polyx Oil and Fiddes Hard Wax Oil offer a choice of colours and sheens to suit different projects.

Wood Oil for Exterior Timber

Some wood oils are specifically formulated for exterior use on surfaces such as doors, decking, garden furniture, wood preserver for sheds and other outdoor timber. Exterior products can be selected according to the type of wood, the level of exposure and the appearance required.

If you are unsure which oil is suitable for your project, consider the location of the timber, whether it is new or previously finished, and the type of appearance you want to achieve. Always check the individual product instructions before application. If you need any help or advise please email us images of your project and we can suggest the most suitable product. Whether it be a water-based exterior wood treatment oil, wood decking oil, an oil-based paint for wood or a clear wood oil with UV protection, we can discuss your options.
