TREATMENT & FINISHING

THE TRIED AND TESTED

our default finish

We use Rubio Monocoat (Oil Plus 2C) which is a professional grade oil/wax to treat all our goods. This treatment preserves the oaks natural light tones while providing stain, wear and moisture protection and is ideal for hard-wearing surfaces like table tops.

There are various colours available from Rubio, but we offer one tried and tested standard finish which results is a “natural matte” look with minimal shine that leaves our oak surfaces with a subtle enhanced contrast that brings out the oaks unique characteristics and grain. The final treated surface is as close to a raw sanded look as possible while protecting it from stains, moisture and general wear and tear. Click here to view a video example.

All our products come treated and ready to use upon delivery with no further action needed on your part.

The treatment enhances the woods grain and tone and brings out the character each piece.
All our goods come with a Good Oak badge that clearly identifies our brand and the quality we stand behind.

Alternative colour options

Over 95% of our goods use our default matt natural finish, however there are plenty of other stains that we can offer from Rubio to meet your bespoke needs. Please take a look at this link (from Rubio Monocoat) and let us know the best options you like, and from there we’ll prepare samples for you to view and sign-off.

This is the best method for bespoke staining which avoids disappointment and ensures that everyone’s expectations are in line, as colours/finishes vary greatly on screen versus in real life. Please note that staining does incur a small additional charge which will be quoted on.

Commercial Applications

We also offer commercial finishes which typically involve adding an additional layer of hardwax/sealant over the Rubio Monocoat base layer – products specifically designed for oiled surfaces – which further protects the finish to withstand the rigours of high traffic wear and tear. We will advise the best application based upon your specific needs.
