Hardwax Oil Ultra Clear
This premium wood finish provides water-resistant protection while maintaining natural aesthetics. Formulated with natural oils and waxes, it creates a breathable surface suitable for floors, furniture, and worktops. The quick-drying formula offers excellent durability against foot traffic and daily wear, with sheen options from matte to gloss. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications requiring long-term protection without compromising wood's natural character.
UV Oil
Clear exterior wood finish combining UV resistance with weatherproofing capabilities. Penetrates deeply into timber to prevent greying and moisture damage on cladding, doors, and windows. Maintains wood's natural appearance while providing a protective barrier against environmental elements. Recommended for vertical surfaces rather than horizontal applications where water pooling may occur.
Classic Colour Collection
Range of coloured wood finishes enhancing grain visibility while providing durable protection. Available in 20+ shades for both interior and exterior use on furniture, flooring, and architectural elements. UV-stable pigments resist fading while maintaining breathability, allowing wood to expand and contract naturally. Suitable for application on most timber species with enhanced performance when combined with protective top coats.
Eco Colours
Environmentally friendly wood coatings containing 72% natural ingredients. Microporous formulation allows moisture vapour transmission while resisting water ingress. Available in primary colours that can be mixed to create custom shades for garden furniture, sheds, and interior woodwork. Zero VOC emissions make these paints suitable for indoor applications and eco-conscious projects.
WPC Cleaner
Specialist cleaning solution for wood-plastic composite materials like decking and cladding. Removes surface contaminants without damaging protective coatings. Non-abrasive formula preserves surface texture while preparing for protective treatments. Recommended for periodic deep cleaning to maintain appearance and extend service life of composite installations.

After falling love with the ease and simplicity of applying these finishes and the ability to get consistent results is why Brindley Timberworks cannot recommend Treatex highly enough.

Quick delivery, can pay for either 2-3 day or 1-2 day if you're in a hurry. Good sized samples (30ml) in little bottles, better than the 5ml samples you get from competitors and this product smells much nicer. Samples come with little stirrers and can easily fit the rough the letterbox. Great products, easy to use. Lovely colours.

Helpful friendly advice. Prompt delivery after ordering and very well packed. The Treatex Colour Range is an excellent product which when applied in my case new wood covers well. Lots of colours to choose from in the range. Highly recommended.
