Exterior Oils
Choose Treatex Exterior Oils to achieve a premium finish for your outdoor wooden surface. Our Exterior Oil is ideal for adding the final touch to a range of home installations, including decking, wooden doors or cladding. Our water-repellent formula is designed to seep through timber surfaces, clinging to the wood capillaries and offering solid defence against the elements - all while preventing the development of cracks and swelling.

Preparation/Application
Preparation
Treatex Exterior Oils work best on unfinished timbers. Previous finishes which stop Exterior Oils penetrating into the timbers (e.g. paints and other ‘closed’ finishes) must be fully removed prior to application. Previous porous finishes can be lightly sanded before over coating with 120 grit sandpaper, however, we cannot guarantee best performance when applying over an existing finish. When over coating a previously finished surface, a trial application is essential. Flaking or peeling finishes must be fully removed prior to application.
Ensure the timber is dry and free from possible contaminates e.g. algae, grease, dirt, dust etc. Leave exotic/dense/oily timbers e.g. Iroko/Bangkirai and pressure treated timbers to weather for at least 3 months or wash with warm, soapy water then rinse throughly and dry to remove resins. Timbers susceptible to mould and fungi should be treated first with a suitable preservative.
We advise that when using Exterior Oils, sufficient product is purchased to complete the whole project and when more than one tin is required it is advisable to mix them together before use. The timber must have a moisture content below 18% and the ambient temperature must be between 8oc and 25oc during application and drying. We strongly recommend a trial application prior to starting the project. Ensure that no rain is forecast before, during or after application or that timber is treated in a dry environment. We strongly recommend a trial application prior to starting the project.
Application
Stir tins thoroughly, before and during use. Use a brush, roller or spray to evenly apply Treatex Exterior Oils in the same direction as the wood grain. Pay particular attention to the end grain, where you should apply liberally. After approximately 12 hours the first coat can be overcoated. Apply with a brush or roller a second coat of Exterior Oils. After the second coat leave for approximately 12 hours to dry. A third coat can be applied if necessary. Finishing with Exterior Oils Clear will add further protection against wear and abrasion. For decking, we recommend applying Treatex Anti-slip Decking Oil.
Tips
- Treatex brushes and rollers are available.
- Wet brushes and rollers can be cleaned with Treatex Thinner or white spirit.
- Store tins in a cool and frost free environment. Unopened tins will last for five years. Once tins are opened, transfer contents to a smaller airtight container.
