Colored Oils for Furniture, Parquet, and Stairs – Protection and Natural Colors
What is Color Oil? Coloring Wood Without Losing Structure
Colored oils are translucent. This means they tint the surface without creating an opaque coating. The wood structure remains visible, and the feel is palpable. The pigments highlight the wood in its natural form, rather than hiding it. For those who appreciate the material itself, colored oils are therefore the first choice. However, if a completely uniform, opaque color effect is desired, one should consider lacquers.
Colored Oils for Furniture, Stairs, and Floors – Current Trends in Interior Design
In interior design, colored oils are becoming increasingly popular. Shades of gray, black, white, or strong brown nuances bring depth and modern clarity to private and commercial spaces. Besides oak, softer wood types such as pine, fir, or ash are also gaining importance again – especially when they are treated with targeted pigmentation.
Two Proven All-Rounders for Almost Every Wood Project
When it comes to universally applicable colored wood oils, two variants have proven their worth:
Color Hard Wax Oil
The solution for anyone who wants to design furniture, smaller surfaces, or elaborate wooden details. It is quick and easy to apply, dries quickly, and allows for a second coat to intensify the color if necessary. The light film formation results in a pleasant finish with a subtle protective layer. Ideal for workshops, interior finishing, and creative furniture projects.
Color Professional Oil
Specially designed for large, contiguous surfaces such as floors or stairs. It scores with a long open time and seamless application – even at high temperatures or with large roller fields. As a true one-layer oil, it provides color depth and protection with just one coat in one step. And for particularly tough areas of use, it can optionally be cross-linked with a hardener. The Professional Oil is thus the first choice for parquet layers, carpenters, and demanding large-scale projects.
Specialized Colored Oils for Special Requirements
In addition to the two all-rounders, OLI-NATURA also offers special solutions for particular requirements:
Color-Oil Midnightblack
A deep black pigment oil that impresses with maximum color intensity. For furniture or steps that need to be uncompromisingly dark, it is the product of choice. The addition of a hardener is mandatory here – only then will the jet-black pigment be permanently abrasion-resistant. Ideal for design accents or high-contrast details.
Project Oil
Ideal for hard-to-reach areas where no re-working is possible and a simple application with a cloth must suffice. Thanks to the isoparaffin component, oil and pigments penetrate deep into the wood on their own.
Creative Variety through Mixability of All Colors
All color oils can be mixed with each other or lightened with colorless oil – this creates individual nuances and coordinated transitions. Those who want to test their desired shade in advance can opt for the sample size.
