Hard Wax Oils

A hard wax oil finish protects wood while preserving its natural texture and appearance. Unlike film-forming finishes that sit on the surface, hard wax oil penetrates the wood fibers and provides durable protection that is easy to maintain and repair. Hard wax oils are also valued for their straightforward application. Most can be applied with a cloth, pad or brush, then wiped to an even finish. Because they penetrate the wood rather than build a thick surface film, they are generally more forgiving to apply and easier to spot-repair than many conventional finishes. Our selection includes finishes from Osmo oil and Rubio Monocoat. Whether you're finishing a dining table, kitchen countertop, cabinetry, flooring or interior millwork, these products enhance grain, enrich color and provide lasting protection against everyday wear. Choose from Osmo Polyx hard wax oil finishes in matte, satin, gloss and pigmented formulations, decorative Osmo wood wax finish colors, food-safe TopOil for countertops, and high-performance 2K wood oil, and specialized oils for decks and exterior projects. We also carry Rubio Monocoat 2C, an innovative hard wax oil system that bonds with wood fibers to provide durable, attractive protection with a single application. With clear and colored options available, you can achieve everything from a natural, nearly invisible finish to a richer decorative effect while maintaining the warmth and character of the wood.
