The Benefits of Using Hardwax Oil on Wood
There are many different types of oil finishes you can use on wood and which one you choose will depend on several factors. Hardwax oil is a natural finish that is made from a combination of natural oils and waxes. It is often used on wood floors, furniture, and other wooden surfaces.
What is hardwax oil?
Hardwax oil is a natural wood finish that is made from a combination of natural oils and waxes. It is a popular choice for wood floors and furniture because it provides a durable, water-resistant finish that is easy to maintain. It is made from a variety of natural oils, including tung oil, linseed oil, and walnut oil. These oils are combined with natural waxes, such as beeswax and carnauba wax. The oils and waxes are heated and then mixed together to create a thick, creamy liquid.
Hardwax oil is applied to wood in a thin layer. It is then buffed into the wood with a soft cloth. The oil will soak into the wood and protect it from water and scratches. It will also give the wood a natural, glossy finish.
Here are the benefits of using hardwax oil:
● Durability - Hardwax oil is able to protect your wooden surfaces from everyday wear and tear such as scratches and dents.
● Easy application - Some types of hardwax oil may only require one coat and drying usually takes between 24-72 hours, so you can get on with your project quickly.
● Non-toxic - Hardwax oil doesn’t contain any nasty chemicals that can cause harm to your family or pets.
● Sustainable - Hardwax oil is made from completely natural ingredients so you can minimise your environmental impact.
● Enhance the natural beauty of your wood - Hardwax oil doesn’t cover up the beautiful natural look of the wood, but instead enhances it.
