Carefree Protectant Timber Treatment 1L – Light Oak
The perfect finish for your log cabin or wooden garden building
Give your log cabin or timber garden building a natural, long-lasting finish with our Carefree Protectant Timber Treatment in light oak. Developed with Valvoline, this water-based treatment provides excellent protection while highlighting the wood’s natural warmth and grain.
The coating penetrates deeply into the timber, creating a durable protective layer that’s resistant to moisture, UV rays, wind and changing weather conditions. It helps to prevent rot, decay and insect damage, significantly extending the lifespan of your log cabin, fence or decking.
The light oak colour enhances the natural colour of the timber, providing a golden colour that complements any outdoor space. Whether you’re protecting a brand new garden building or refreshing older woodwork, this treatment provides reliable protection while offering a natural look.
This treatment is also suitable for use on concrete surfaces to help reduce wear and reduce water absorption. It provides a protective, breathable layer that repels moisture to prevent cracking caused by frost or weather exposure.
Coverage
Coverage is dependent on the individual painter but overall, you can expect 6-8 m² per litre. So, with a 2.5L tin, you can expect coverage of 15-20 m².
The layer thickness is around 20-30 microns on average. A depth of 80-120 microns is recommended for all log cabins. We recommend three to four coats of this treatment for maximum coverage and longevity with reapplication every few years.
