Oak lacquered

Oak light oil

European oak. A light lacquer treatment partially fills the grain, so the wood structure

can be seen on the surface. Oak has a relatively open surface with a visible grain struc-

ture. This light lacquer treatment is gentler than a dense lacquer, consequently scratches

will not be easily exposed. The wood itself has a nice tactile feel and the natural ageing

over time will be more beautiful. A delicate white pigment is added to the lacquer to main-

tain the light appearance of the oak. Flecking is a lovely effect that can naturally

occur in solid oak.

Oak oil

Fredericia’s standard oil finish Oak light oil is a clear, light and natural oil which

complies with eco-certification. This oil contains a lighting pigment which is impregnated

into the surface and gives a beautiful light oak tone and improves the lightfastness. The

oil seals the surface to improve the water and stain resistance, while keeping the natural

tactility and beautiful patina of solid wood. Over time and with use, the oil will dry out and

new oil should be applied to avoid a dull surface. Oak light oil is designed to match the

finish Oak lacquered in colour, however, natural colour differences are part of the authentic

character of wood.

The finish Oak oil enhances the warm yellow tones of the oak. The oil used is a clear,

natural oil. This seals the surface to improve the water and stain resistance, thus minimiz-

ing any visible marks. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a smooth surface

with a silky touch. Over time, the oil will dry out and new oil must be applied to avoid a

dull surface. Oak has a relatively open surface with a visible grain structure. Oak flecking

becomes more visible in oiled oak, and large colour differences can naturally occur.

Soap treatment is a finish that leaves the surface as raw and natural as possible. The

natural oils of the soap gently seal the wood and gives it some stain resistance, however

a new soap treatment must be applied from time to time to maintain the appearance.

Soaped oak is light when new and darkens over time. Oak has a relatively open surface

with a visible grain structure, where beautiful flecking is an effect that can naturally occur

in solid oak.
