⚡ At a Glance
- • Finish Quality: Enhances the natural grain with a subtle satin sheen while remaining clear and durable
- • Best for: Homeowners and tradespeople finishing floors and furniture who need breathable protection
- • Not ideal for: Outdoor timber or situations requiring a thick, film-forming sealer
Clear satin hard wax oil formulated from vegetable oils and waxes. Breathable, water and dirt resistant finish that resists abrasion.
Long-lasting protection - with a high solids oil and wax formula
High solids formulation combines vegetable oils and waxes to build a hardwearing surface that resists abrasion and common household liquids. The oil and wax bond with the wood surface rather than forming a brittle film.
A robust surface reduces scratches and scuffs, helping floors and furniture remain attractive for longer.
Natural, breathable finish - thanks to a microporous formulation
Microporous technology allows moisture exchange through the finish, preventing cracking, peeling or flaking while maintaining a thin, transparent layer. The satin sheen enhances grain without masking texture.
Wood keeps its natural look and feel while remaining protected against spills and everyday wear.
Simple maintenance and repairs - with spot repair capability and easy application
Preparation requires stripping old finishes, filling imperfections, then sanding and wiping before application. Apply thin coats with a brush or cloth, allow 8-10 hours drying between coats, and expect full cure in 2-3 weeks; spot repairs do not need sanding.
Routine maintenance is straightforward and quick touch-ups restore appearance without major disruption.
