German manufacturer of natural oils and waxes for wood, plus flooring and cladding.

Description

Osmo Holz und Color (Warendorf, Germany) has been manufacturing natural oils and finishes for wood for more than 100 years, along with flooring, cladding and garden decking. Its finishes are based on vegetable oils (sunflower, linseed, soya and thistle) and waxes, with refined pigments suitable for food contact use.

Why we chose it

Because its finishes based on vegetable oils protect wood without a plastic film, extend its service life and keep the pore open, aligning maintenance with low-impact construction.
