Osmo UV Protection Oil Tints Larch
Osmo UV Protection Oil Tints – Larch is a specially formulated exterior wood finish designed to protect vertical wooden surfaces from harmful UV rays while offering a warm, natural larch-toned appearance. Enriched with plant-based oils and active ingredients, it provides superior weather resistance and long-lasting colour stability by significantly reducing the greying process caused by sun exposure.
The microporous finish allows wood to breathe, helping to prevent cracking, peeling, or blistering. With its water- and dirt-resistant properties, this product is ideal for cladding, fencing, window frames, doors, and other vertical wooden structures. The subtle larch tint enhances the grain and gives a uniform, decorative finish.
