How to prepare for your floor oiling?

First, we visit your property to assess the floor, talk through finishes and, if you would like colour, show you Osmo tint options. Next, we sand the floor back to bare wood, so the oil soaks in evenly and the grain comes through beautifully. We then apply premium Osmo Polyx hard-wax oil in your chosen sheen – ultra-matt, matt or satin – building up the coats for a tough, natural finish. Finally, we clean up and leave you with a warm, hard-wearing oiled floor ready to enjoy.
