Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra is ideal for use on all exterior timber, including external doors, window frames, windowsills, carports, timber cladding, balcony, screens & smooth fences, pergolas, summer houses and furniture. Reduces the greying effect of UV damage, whilst nurturing the timber and providing a durable protective finish.

It is not recommend for use on for use on flat, horizontal surfaces where water can collect such as exterior floors, decking, wooden steps or flat window sills.
Colour Tips
Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra (Natural 429) has been specifically designed to retain the natural, untreated appearance of lighter timbers such as Oak, Pine and Larch. It is not suitable for dark exotic hardwoods, as it may leave a 'milky' or 'white film' appearance to the wood.
The clear version of this product can be used as a top coat for Osmo exterior coloured finishes, such as Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain and Osmo Country Colour. For a biocide-free alternative we recommend Osmo UV Protection Oil (410).
Ensure that all wood to be treated with Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra is clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).
New Wood
- Surfaces should be sanded with a 120 grit abrasive and no finer
- New wood and especially hardwoods should be allowed to weather for approximately 6 weeks prior to oiling
- De-grease surfaces with methylated spirit or Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner (8000) before oiling
- Fill any holes or gaps with a suitable exterior wood filler
- Treat the wood with Osmo WR Base Coat (4001) if desired
Please Note: Allowing the wood to weather, especially dense exotic hardwoods, enables the tight, dense grain of the timber to open up. This makes it easier for the oil to penetrate deeper in to the wood grain.
Old Wood
- Clean old microporous finishes (wood oils) thoroughly
- Areas affected by mould, algae and moss must be cleaned and treated
- Old paints, lacquers and varnish like stains must be completely removed
- The colour of timber that has turned grey / silver over time can be restored prior to oiling with Osmo Wood Reviver Gel (6609)
- Then treat as New Wood
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Before opening the 5ml sample sachets, squeeze the packet several times to ensure that the oil and pigments inside are thoroughly mixed.
- Stir thoroughly before and periodically during application
- Where possible treat all sides of the timber including edges and ends prior to installation
- Thinly apply UV protection oil following the grain of the wood
- Allow to "soak in", then wipe off excess with a clean, lint-free cloth
- Allow to fully dry
- Apply a second coat as above
Renovation
When renovation is required, ensure that surfaces are clean and dry.
- Lightly sand or use a stiff brush to remove surface dirt and debris
- Apply a thin maintenance coat of Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra, taking care to work the oil in to the surface of the wood and wiping off any excess
- For wood that has become discoloured or is showing signs of mould, algae or moss, refer to the preparation and application sections above
