Wood needs sun protection

UV radiation from the sun dissolves the lignin in wood, and rainwater washes it away. As a result, wood loses its natural colour – it greys. For a long time, coloured finishes were regarded as the only possibility to protect wood against sunlight. Back then, it was generally considered: the more pigments, the better the protection.

However, this is not what people want any longer. Understandably: if you have invested in beautiful, fine Oak windows, you do not necessarily want to coat them with a strongly pigmented wood stain and disguise the natural wood colour.

What is needed is a coating that offers reliable protection against moisture and greying, but also retains the original wood colour at the same time. With UV-Protection-Oil and UV-Protection-Oil Tints, Osmo has exactly the right products for the job.

HIGH-QUALITY WOOD STAYS THE WAY IT IS

For the almost invisible protection of fine wood, Osmo has developed UV-Protection-Oil Clear with a sun protection factor 12. UV-Protection-Oil Tints contains in addition to the UV blockers also colour pigments that strengthen the sun protection significantly. As a result, more time can pass until the next renovation.

The colour pigments are added sparingly and perfectly matched to the respective wood species: Oak for oak wood, Larch for larch wood, Cedar for cedar wood and so on. As a result, the surface finish is hardly noticeable. UV-Protection-Oil is ideal for all vertical wood surfaces in outdoor areas.
