What is aHardwaxOil?
It is a relatively new product, far more commonly used in Europe but is gaining in popularity here in Australia. Originally marketed as a flooring finish,hardwaxoils are taking the high-end furniture industry by storm due to its many positive properties. As the name suggests, it is a combination of wax and oil.Neither of these finishes produce a strong hard wearing film on the surface on their own.HardwaxOil is an oil based finish that soaks in, lightly colors the wood and forms a protective film on the surface of the wood. Its for applications where the end user wants a more natural wood finish while also having some sort of protective layer on the surface. Its also for those working with timber that want a beautiful, long-lasting, hard wearing, yet easy-to-apply natural finish.
