FAQs

  • What is the best oil for wood surfaces?

    The best oil for wood depends on the project. For indoor furniture, Danish oil or tung oil provides a beautiful finish and durable protection. For outdoor projects, teak oil or a specialised exterior wood oil is recommended to protect against weather conditions.

  • How do I apply a wood oil finish?

    To apply a wood oil finish, clean the surface thoroughly and sand lightly if necessary. Apply the oil with a clean cloth or brush, working in the direction of the grain. Allow the oil to penetrate for 15-30 minutes, then wipe off any excess. Repeat as needed to achieve the desired finish.

  • Can I use wood floor oil on other surfaces?

    Yes, wood floor oil can be used on a variety of wood surfaces, including furniture and worktops. Its durable finish makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, but always test on a small area first to ensure compatibility.

  • What is the difference between oil finishes on wood and varnish?

    Oil finishes on wood penetrate the surface, enhancing the natural grain and providing a low-sheen, natural look. Varnish sits on top of the surface, creating a hard, glossy finish that offers greater protection but may alter the feel of the wood.

  • How often should I reapply exterior wood oil?

    Reapply exterior wood oil every 6-12 months, depending on exposure to the elements and wear. Regular maintenance helps preserve the wood’s appearance and extends its lifespan.

  • Can I use mineral oil for wood?

    Mineral oil is safe for use on wood surfaces, particularly in kitchen settings, as it is non-toxic and food-safe. It is ideal for worktops, chopping boards, and utensils, providing a water-resistant barrier without altering the wood’s colour.

  • What is the best oil for wood floors?

    For wood floors, use a durable, hard-wearing oil like hardwax oil or polyx oil. These provide excellent protection against scratches and spills while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood.

  • How do I maintain a wood oil finish?

    Maintain a wood oil finish by cleaning surfaces regularly with a damp cloth. Reapply oil as needed to restore the finish and protection. Avoid harsh cleaners that can strip the oil from the wood.

  • Can I use oil for wood furniture on painted surfaces?

    Oil for wood furniture is designed for use on bare or stained wood. It may not adhere properly to painted surfaces and could result in an uneven finish. Remove any existing paint before applying oil for best results.

  • What is the difference between boiled linseed oil and raw linseed oil?

    Boiled linseed oil has been treated to speed up drying time and enhance durability, making it suitable for wood finishes. Raw linseed oil is slower to dry and is generally used for treating tools and metal surfaces rather than as a wood finish.
