Oiled Wood
Wood treated with natural oils that preserves the natural colour. Requires regular maintenance.
Natural colour,
regular maintenance
Oiled wood is for those who want to preserve the wood's natural appearance. Treatment with natural oils allows the material to retain its warmth and natural colour play. It requires regular maintenance, but the reward is an authentic and living facade that ages beautifully.
Oiled wood is about living together with the material and following it up over time. It is not a set-and-forget solution, but an active relationship with your building.
Benefits of oiled wood
Natural appearance
Preserves the wood's natural colour play and warm tone over time. The material "lives" and changes subtly with the seasons.
Maintenance-friendly
Oil treatment is easier to maintain than paint. A simple sanding and re-oiling gives a like-new result.
Flexible maintenance
You can maintain small areas when needed, without having to do the entire facade at the same time.
Authentic material quality
The wood "breathes" and absorbs moisture naturally. This creates less tension in the material and fewer cracks.
Maintenance of oiled wood
Annual check: Inspect the facade every spring or autumn for signs of a dry or worn surface.
Sanding and oiling: Every 2–3 years, or when the surface starts to dry out, you should sand and re-oil. It is a relatively simple process and does not require professionals.
Choice of oil: Use quality oils made for Nordic climates and UV exposure. We recommend eco-friendly and bio-based alternatives.
Local maintenance: One of the advantages of oiled wood is that you can maintain smaller areas as needed, without having to do the entire facade at the same time.
