Natural Oil Finishes
Treatment with our satin wood oil
The treatment protects the wood surface from grease, dirt and drying out and at the same time forms a certain protective film so that direct wear of the wood is minimised. Carry out the sanding and treatment carefully to achieve a good result.
Preparation
Wipe the wood surface with a wrung-out cloth so that the surface is evenly moist. This straightens the wood fibres so that the oil can penetrate the wood better. You should allow the wood to dry before applying the oil. It is important to moisten the wood surface before treatment. Otherwise the wood cannot be sufficiently saturated with oil.
Procedure for surface treatment with our satin wood oil
Apply the oil generously by hand with a white fleece and rub it in.
After 20 - 60 minutes, remove the excess oil with a clean, lint-free cotton cloth.
The intensity of this process determines the colour of the surface. If the colour is inhomogeneous or too weak, additional oil can be applied according to the principle described above.
All excess oil must be removed within the first hour after application.
The oil should harden for 36 to 48 hours. The surface should not be touched during the drying process.
Then sand the surface lightly and remove the dust thoroughly.
Then apply the oil again generously with the fleece.
After about 20 minutes, remove the excess oil with a lint-free cotton cloth.
Now allow the wooden surface to dry.
The treated surface can be used carefully after 2 - 3 days, it is fully hardened after approx. 10 - 14 days.
The hardening process of the oil takes place in combination with sunlight and oxygen from the air. The process is interrupted or stopped if the surface is covered. Use of the surface should be limited to the absolute minimum and it must not be exposed to any moisture or humidity during the hardening process. Artificial UV light can accelerate the curing process.
Risk of spontaneous combustion! Rags/papers soaked in linseed oil can easily catch fire. Store rags and papers soaked in linseed oil in an airtight metal container or immerse them in water.

Wood Stain
For all those of you who really appreciate the beautiful structure of wood and would like to keep it looking natural and clean, varnishes may be the best solution. A translucent colour means that the wood surface remains visible through the oil. Wood stain are a nice alternative to the linseed oil paints. The wood’s character, including the different nuances, really show.
Wood Stain can be applied to all types of absorbent surfaces, but they clearly have the most beautiful effect on wood.
In linseed oil based glaze, the binder penetrates the wood structure completely. The pigment proportion also dyes the wood. No film-forming layer can appear on the surface. For this reason, a glaze paint is less durable than a linseed oil paint. The UV protection of linseed oil which gives the surface an opaque coating is significantly lower in glaze. Therefore, glazed surfaces that are exposed to strong sunlight, tend to gray faster. A glaze painting easily be renewed at any time by simply painting over it with linseed oil paints.
If you want to work with untreated wood, it is always advisable to grind or sand the surface beforehand. The glaze should be applied thinly with a bristle brush and well spread. It is important to paint board by board in the direction of the grain. It should be carried out with long brushstrokes and a "light" hand. It is very important to regularly stir the glaze colour intermediately while working. Otherwise, their consistency changes fast and will result in a non-homogeneous colour surface.
1L linseed oil glaze can cover about 8-12 square meters and is dry within 1-2 days.
Our wood stain are based on linseed oil and pigments. They are free of solvents or resins. They are ecologically and physiologically harmless.
Used brushes can be easily cleaned with linseed oil soap.
Risk of spontaneous combustion! Rags/paper soaked in linseed oil can easily catch fire. Store rags and papers soaked in linseed oil in an airtight metal container or immerse them in water.
Treatment of the floor with our satin wood oil
The treatment protects the floorboards from grease, dirt and drying out and at the same time forms a certain protective film so that direct wear of the floorboards is minimised. Carry out the sanding and treatment with care to achieve a good result. We therefore recommend that this work is only carried out by a recognised and experienced professional.
Preparation
Wipe the floor with a wrung-out cloth or mop so that the surface is evenly moistened. This straighten up the wood fibres so that the oil can penetrate the wood better.
Allow the floor to dry before oil treatment.
It is important to moisten the floor before treatment. Otherwise the floor cannot be sufficiently saturated with oil.

Procedure for surface treatment with our floor oil
Apply the oil with a polishing machine and a white sanding disc or by hand with a white fleece. Apply the oil generously to the floor.
After 20 - 60 min, polish the floor with the polishing machine with floor cloths attached. Then remove the excess oil with a finely woven cotton cloth placed on the polishing head. For smaller areas, it is also possible to polish in the oil by hand and remove it with cotton cloths.
The intensity of the polishing process determines the colour of the floor. If the colour is inhomogeneous or too weak, additional oil can be applied according to the principle described above.
All excess oil must be removed within the first hour after application.
Allow the oil to harden for 36 - 48 hours. Do not walk on the floor during this period.
Slightly sand the floor with a polishing machine with a green sanding disc. Vacuum the floor.
Apply the oil generously using a polishing machine with a white sanding pad.
After approx. 10 minutes, polish the floor with the polishing machine with the floor cloths in place. Then remove the excess oil with a finely woven cotton cloth placed on the polishing head.
Allow the floor to dry.
The floor can be walked on very carefully after 2 - 3 days, it is fully hardened after approx. 10 - 14 days.
The hardening process of the oil happens in connection with sunlight and oxygen from the air. The process is interrupted or stopped if the floor is covered. Use of the floor should be limited to the absolute minimum and the floor should not be exposed to any moisture or humidity during the hardening process. Artificial UV light can accelerate the curing process.
