Exterior Oil Red Brown for Terrace, Furniture, Log Cabin etc.

WOCA Exterior Oil Red Brown for decking, garden furniture and exterior wood

WOCA Exterior Oil Red Brown is a water-based exterior wood oil for wooden decking, garden furniture, cladding, fences, log cabins and other outdoor wood. Its red-brown pigment gives the wood a warm, deep colour that is particularly well suited to wood species with a naturally red or reddish-brown appearance.

Please note: this colour is being discontinued and is available exclusively in a 2.5-litre container and as a sample sachet. Available only while stocks last.

As the final colour is influenced by the wood species, its original colour, absorption and any existing finish, we recommend ordering a sample sachet and making a test area first.

What finish does Exterior Oil Red Brown provide?

Exterior Oil Red Brown gives outdoor wood a warm, rich reddish-brown colour. It can complement mahogany-like, merbau-coloured and other naturally red-brown wood species. It may also be used to give pale wood a deliberately warm and distinctive appearance.

Unlike paint, the oil does not create a completely opaque coating. The wood structure and natural colour variations remain visible and contribute to the final result. The red-brown pigment can appear more pronounced on pale wood, while it may produce a deeper and calmer shade on darker wood.

If in doubt, order the sample sachet first. Apply the product to a representative piece of wood and assess the colour only after the test area has dried completely.

Available in 2.5 litres and as a sample sachet

WOCA Exterior Oil Red Brown is available exclusively as:

• A 2.5-litre container for treating the complete surface

Do not use an unsuitable low-quality roller or brush. The application tools have a significant effect on distribution, coating thickness and the final appearance.

Preparing the exterior wood

The wood must be completely clean, dry and free from grease, dirt, algae and loose remnants of previous finishes.

Clean new and previously treated wood with WOCA Exterior Cleaner. For heavily soiled, greyed or weathered wood, use WOCA Deep Cleaner.

Allow the wood to dry for at least 24 hours after cleaning. Its moisture content must not exceed 17% during application. Carefully remove raised wood fibres with 120-grit sandpaper if necessary.

Untreated, non-impregnated softwood may require treatment with WOCA Exterior Wood Primer. Do not use this primer on red cedar or larch.

Applying WOCA Exterior Oil Red Brown

Stir the oil very thoroughly before and during use to distribute the red-brown pigment evenly.

Only apply the oil in dry weather and at a temperature of at least 13°C. Avoid direct sunlight and very high temperatures.

Apply an even, thin coat with a suitable roller or brush. Treat the end grain first. The oil has a creamy appearance during application. The final red-brown colour becomes visible as the water evaporates.

Remove all surplus oil with clean cotton cloths within five minutes. Pay particular attention to grooves, joints, corners and other areas where oil may collect. Do not leave a thick or wet layer of oil on the wood.

If the wood has not absorbed the oil evenly or certain areas do not appear sufficiently saturated, touch them up with another very thin application.

Professional tip

Once dry, buff the surface with a white polishing pad. This helps distribute the oil evenly and produces a smoother, more uniform and compact finish.

A suitable single-disc polishing machine with a white pad may be used for larger surfaces.

Drying and curing time

At approximately 20°C, the oil normally requires 24–48 hours to cure. The precise drying time depends on temperature, humidity, weather conditions, wood species and the amount applied.

Protect the treated wood against rain and all other contact with water during this period.

Maintaining WOCA Exterior Oil Red Brown

Clean the wood with WOCA Exterior Cleaner whenever necessary. Apply another thin coat of WOCA Exterior Oil Red Brown when the red-brown colour or protection begins to diminish.

For normal maintenance, the existing finish usually does not need to be removed completely. Loose, damaged or severely weathered wood fibres must be cleaned and lightly sanded where necessary before applying a maintenance coat.

Please remember that Red Brown is a discontinued colour. It may therefore be sensible to order enough product for future maintenance while it is still available.
