Oiled oak
Oiled oak should be oiled twice a year for best protection. Good maintenance can never completely prevent stains from occurring, but oak that is not maintained will turn blacker and turn gray faster, but it still has a very long life. When re-oiling products, a finely boiled oil that penetrates the wood should be chosen over a film-forming oil.
SiOO:X treatment oak
Sioo:x-treated products are treated twice upon delivery; once with a wood protection (Premium Träskydd Altan) and once with a surface protection (Premium Ytskydd Altan). Directly after a product has been installed, it should be treated once more with Sioo:x Premium Surface Protection Altan for best durability. After that, every 12 months. The surface protection forms a wear surface, which means that products that are exposed to severe mechanical wear may need to be treated more often than every ten years. The surface treatment has a tested effect according to the standards EN 46 and EN 113.
For information about the Sioo treatment see the website www.sioox.se.
