Osmo UV Protection Oil Tints

Osmo UV Protection Oil Tints is a premium exterior wood finish that combines natural oils with subtle pigmentation to protect vertical wood surfaces from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

The formula also contains active ingredients that help prevent mould, algae, and fungal growth.

This microporous, breathable finish does not crack, peel, or blister. It enhances the natural grain of the wood while offering a lightly tinted, satin finish that is both water- and dirt-resistant.
