Notes:

If a log cabin is shut up regularly, is not ventilated, does not have a DPM then we also recommend the treatment of the inside of the building. It is always good practice to paint the inside of doors and windows to stabilise the timber in high and low relative humidity.

Three coats is advisable liberally applied, four coats is better. It is a good idea to treat the doors and windows inside and outside to stabilise the wood and guard against warping.

On log cabins three coats is recommended at leat and pay special attention to all joints and liberally apply in these areas especially the corner joints, windows and doors. Of course it is best to treat the cabin prior to installation but we appreciate this is not always practical.

Minimum order quantity of two pieces. Price shown is for one piece.

Important Notes for Application

If a log cabin is regularly shut up, not ventilated, or lacks a DPM (Damp Proof Membrane), we also recommend treating the inside of the building. It's always good practice to paint the inside of doors and windows to stabilise the timber in high and low relative humidity.
Three liberal coats are advisable; four coats are even better. Treating doors and windows inside and outside is a good idea to stabilise the wood and guard against warping.
For log cabins, at least three coats are recommended. Pay special attention to all joints and liberally apply in these areas, especially the corner joints, windows, and doors. While it's best to treat the cabin prior to installation, we understand this isn't always practical.

The perfect finish for your log cabin or wooden garden building

\n\n

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.

\n\n

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.

\n\n

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.

\n\n

Coverage

\n\n

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.

\n\n

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.

\n\n
