Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil | 430

Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil produces a satin finish which is extremely water resistant and dirt repellent. The microporous finish is based on natural vegetable oils to allow the wood to breathe and helps regulate the moisture content reducing swelling and shrinkage, the finish will not crack, flake, peel or blister.

It is recommended to apply after a pigmented finish however if applying after a clear treatment, the wood naturally greys over time.

• Slip resistant surface
• Natural wood character remains visible
• Preventative protection against algae and fungal decay
• Very water and dirt resistant
• Reduces wood swelling and shrinkage
• Microporous, breathable finish which does not crack, peel or flake

Tips

• The recommended first coat is either Osmo Decking Oil or Natural Oil Woodstain, followed by a top coat of Anti-Slip Decking Oil (not ideal for use after 007 Teak Oil).
• For a clear and natural finish for decking, apply just two coats of 007 Teak Oil, which allows the wood to naturally grey over time.
• The darker the colour of the first coat, the slower the greying process of the wood will start to appear.
• Hardwoods particularly high in resin and oil content require exposure to external elements for approx. 12 weeks prior to application.
