About Us
At Treatex, we believe wood is one of the most beautiful and versatile materials in the world. Its natural warmth, rich colours and varied textures make it a joy to work with, and a delight to live with. Our mission is to provide high-quality wood finishes that not only enhance this natural beauty, but also offer long-lasting protection against wear, moisture, UV damage and general deterioration.
Whether you're a DIYer refreshing a garden bench or a professional joiner finishing solid oak flooring, our range of eco-friendly wood treatments is designed to help you get the best from your timber.
Durable, Easy-to-Use Wood Finishes
We specialise in wood care products that are easy to apply, attractive and built to last. Our finishes are formulated with natural ingredients - such as sunflower oil, linseed oil, jojoba and beeswax - which penetrate deep into the wood to nourish and protect from within.
All our products are developed to strike a perfect balance between appearance and performance, making them ideal for use in homes, gardens, and commercial properties alike.
