Wood is a mainstay of the modern home and making sure it’s \n\nprotected <\/a>is vital. Durable and full of character, wood’s incredibly versatile nature allows it to be used in furniture, flooring and cabinetry, and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s in the humid and high moisture environment of \n\nkitchens and bathrooms<\/a>, however, that wood can endure serious and lasting damage to its condition. Constant exposure from the splatter of kitchen and bathroom sinks, as well as heat from baths, showers and the preparation of food, will eventually impact the condition of your wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While woods that are naturally more water-resistant such as teak (commonly used in ship building) will provide some defence, they will eventually succumb to the more detrimental effects of water exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are, however, some key methods and products you can use to effectively waterproof your \n\nkitchen and bathroom<\/a> wood. As always, we\u2019re here to offer our expert advice, in the hope of ensuring your wood remains durable for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n

Interior Preservers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for: Protecting Around a Sink<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like its exterior counterpart, a quality interior preserver will help protect your wood from the more harmful elements of its environment. In this case, high moisture environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nOsmo Wood Protector <\/strong>4006<\/a> is a great example of a product of this design. Born from an oil and wax base, it\u2019s free from biocides and is perfectly equipped for use in wet rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend its use on worktops. Upon application, your wood will receive extreme water repellency, a handy quality to have when facing liquid spills; a common occurrence of the kitchen. Those natural oils will also actively enhance the natural character of the wood, granting it a permanent wet effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that this product also requires a top coat finish like the \n\nManns Premier Top Oil<\/a>. Also ideal for use on worktops, it’s purpose-built to help prevent marks from liquid spills and contact from hot surfaces. In that regard, it\u2019s particularly suited for high humidity environments.<\/p>\n\n\n

Oils<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for: Doors, Worktops and Floors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood oils are products designed to finish and protect. By feeding and nourishing the wood from inside the wood grain, they enable resistance against moisture, dirt and wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In high humidity conditions, internal doors are susceptible to warping and swelling as the  moisture in the air naturally soaks into the wood. If left untreated, this can lead to cracking and splitting of the wood. To protect from this reality, \n\nOsmo Door Oil<\/a> is your go-to for providing high durability to all softwood and hardwood internal doors. It\u2019s easy to apply and maintain and is safe for humans, animals and plants when dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with wooden floors in their home, particularly in kitchens, will know all too well of the likelihood of liquid spills. When running the sink, some exposure to moisture is inevitable. As is the odd spill of wine after one too many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nBlanchon Hard Wax Oil Tints<\/a> is a quality treatment you can turn to protect against such mishaps. It\u2019s available in a range of luscious, natural shades from Golden Oak to Weathered Wood, and will also provide protection against knocks and scratches. <\/p>\n\n\n

Manns Stains are ideal for inducing a gorgeous kitchen aesthetic. Photo credit to: \n\nbamaluzhome<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A more eco-friendly alternative to solvent-based treatments is \n\nBona Mega Varnish<\/a>, a water-based floor varnish. It\u2019s ideal for low to medium traffic wooden floors and dries to a non-yellowing, wood warming colouration. Moreover, it doesn\u2019t require the use of a primer. As this product is far more forgiving, it allows for more flex from woods that are known to swell and contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood stains are a fantastic way of changing the colour of your wood to achieve a desired aesthetic. Unlike paints, which sit on the surface of the wood, stains absorbing and soaking into the wood. In turn, they enhance the natural wood grain and colour of the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nManns<\/a> offer a range of classic stains for use on \n\nPine<\/a> and \n\nOak<\/a> surfaces, including doors, floors and furniture. Made from an environmentally friendly, water-base, they offer superb depth of colour and grain clarity, and can be easily applied with either a brush, sponge or a spray gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is imperative to note, though, that stains must be coupled with a protective finish in order to achieve waterproof status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for an all in one stain and finish? A fitting product we suggest is \n\nFiddes Hard Wax Oil Tints<\/a>. <\/strong>This hugely popular product is available in 9 stunning shades to further complement your stain and dries to a highly durable, soft satin finish.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our Top Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cannot suggest more highly the importance of fairly regular maintenance of your wood. By staying on top of this practice, you can ensure the longevity of both the wood’s condition and its natural aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopting a regular cleaning schedule will go a long way towards helping you achieve your goals. Additionally, it\u2019s very important to never let water sit on wood for too long, leave it too long and the moisture will absorb into the wood. Pay mind to wipe down all surfaces including walls, worktops, shelves and cabinets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
