Hermadix Douglas Oil Natural: The Essential Protection for Wood
Hermadix Oil is renowned as a high-quality solution for protecting and enhancing wooden surfaces. Whether you're treating garden furniture, fencing, decking, or any other wooden object, Hermadix Oil offers the perfect balance of durability and aesthetics. Here's everything you need to know about using Hermadix Oil.
What Makes Hermadix Oil Special?
Hermadix Oil stands out for its eco-friendly composition and excellent protective properties. The oil is water-based, meaning it contains fewer harmful substances than many alternative products. This makes it not only safer for the user but also better for the environment.
In addition, Hermadix Oil deeply penetrates the wood, nourishing and protecting it from within. This ensures the wood remains beautiful for longer and is more resistant to weather, fungi, and wood rot. The oil is user-friendly. For first-time treatment with Douglas oil, we recommend applying two coats for optimal protection. After that, an annual application of one coat is sufficient.
Hermadix Oil is available in various colours. Below you will find the colours that are available in our webshop.
Available in the colours:
Also available in sets that include sandpaper, two brushes, and a stirring stick with a Hermadix colour of your choice.
Preparation and Maintenance
Before applying Hermadix Oil, it's essential to prepare the wood properly. Our Douglas wood garden furniture can be treated immediately as it is delivered pre-sanded. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from old paint layers, dirt, and dust. For a second coat, lightly sand the wood to make it smooth again and enhance oil absorption. Use a cloth or brush to remove sanding dust.
Applying Hermadix Oil
- Stir: Stir the oil thoroughly before use to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Apply: Apply a thin layer of oil with a brush, roller, or cloth. Work in the direction of the wood grain for the best results.
- Absorb: Allow the oil to absorb for about 15-30 minutes. For highly absorbent wood, you may need to work faster as it dries more quickly.
- Remove Excess: Wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth to prevent stickiness and ensure an even finish.
- Dry Time: Allow the treated wood to dry according to the instructions on the packaging. Protect the surface from moisture and dirt while it dries.
- Second Coat (first-time treatment only): For added protection and a deeper colour, apply a second coat after the first. Repeat the steps above.
Regular maintenance is essential to preserve the protection and appearance of your wood. Depending on exposure to weather and usage, annual reapplication may be necessary. Inspect the wood regularly and apply a new coat of Hermadix Oil as needed.
Conclusion
Hermadix Oil provides a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for protecting wooden surfaces. Thanks to its simple application process and effective results, it’s a favourite among DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. With the right preparation and application, Hermadix Oil ensures your wooden objects remain beautiful and well-protected for years to come.
