POLISHES, SEALS & FINISHES
PRODUCT FOCUS: OSMO UK
Osmo UK are the eco-friendly wood product specialist; providing high quality wood finishes that contain an unusually high amount of pigments, meaning that they offer better coverage than more conventional finishes. With this in mind, we decided to take a look at two of their most recent products as part of our focus on Polishes, Seals and Finishes.
Polyx Oil This is a premium wood finish guaranteed to keep wooden surfaces in top condition. Ideal for solid engineered or laminate wood floors, it is a high quality, water-repellent and tread-resistant wood finish based on natural ingredients. Available in a matt, clear and satin-matt finishes, the Polyx Oil range offers the highest coverage of
any oil on the market; a 2.5 litre can covers approximately 30m² with two coats.
Polyx Oil is also extremely easy to apply. Simply brush on to the wood surface to achieve deep, long-lasting penetration. Another key benefit of this wax-oil is that Polyx Oil has a reduced solvent content. Therefore it is virtually odourless, making Polyx Oil a much healthier
(and also more pleasant) wood care product to use. And, for anyone suffering from asthma or other breathing problems, an odourless waxoil is much preferred over conventional, solvent-based oil or wax finishes as it also contains no biocides or preservatives.
Offering all the professional features of a traditional oil- based finish, Polyx Oil
combines the smooth surface of conventional lacquers, and the ease of application of a water-based finish, while managing to eliminate the inherent disadvantages of these other types of finish. Unlike ordinary oil finish products which form a film on the wood, Polyx Oil’s natural components penetrate deeply into the wood to create a micro-porous finish. This allows the wood to breathe, moisture to evaporate and ensures a flawless finish both upon application and for many years to come. After treatment, the wood is strengthened from within and retains its elasticity. It becomes water repellent, stain resistant and more hard-wearing, because it meets the wood’s natural demands and does not crack, flake, peel or blister. Available direct or from approved stockists nationwide, Polyx Oil meets all relevant environmental and performance standards.
