Carefree Protect Wood Oil 1L
The perfect finish for your log cabin or wooden garden building
Protect your log cabin or timber garden building from the elements with our Carefree Protect Wood Oil. This treatment allows you to keep the natural look of the timber but provide protection from the elements to prevent problems such as splitting, warping or cracking.
The oil penetrates deeply into the timber, creating a durable, protective layer for your garden building that’s resistant to moisture, UV rays, wind and changing weather conditions. Regularly treating your timber garden building helps to prevent rot, decay and insect damage to extend the life of your log cabin, fencing or decking.
The oil is a clear treatment that allows you to enhance the natural look of the timber. Whether you’re protecting a brand new garden building or refreshing older woodwork, this treatment provides reliable protection.
Coverage
Coverage is dependent on the individual painter but overall, you can expect 6-8 m² per litre. So, with a 2.5L tin, you can expect coverage of 15-20 m².
The layer thickness is around 20-30 microns on average. A depth of 80-120 microns is recommended for all log cabins. We recommend three to four coats of this treatment for maximum coverage and longevity with reapplication every few years.
