Beech indoors

Oil for beech indoors
For beech indoors, use Osmo TopOil on tables and worktops and Osmo Hardwax-Olie Original on floors and stairs. Beech is hard with a fine texture, and an oil finish keeps the surface hard-wearing and easy to touch up locally.
Which oil for which beech surface
Beech is popular for kitchen worktops, tables and toys. For those surfaces, choose TopOil, which is food-safe and resistant to coffee, wine and water. For a beech floor or stairs, use two thin coats of Hardwax-Olie Original, which cures to a hard-wearing finish in the upper pores of the wood.
Beech and moisture
Beech moves more than many other wood species: it expands when damp and shrinks when dry. So also finish the underside and end grain of a top, so the wood absorbs and releases moisture equally fast on all sides. Wipe up spilt water on a worktop straight away, especially around the sink.
Keeping it light or adding colour
Over time, light makes beech turn somewhat more yellow. For a light, almost untreated look, first apply Hardwax-Olie Effect Natural 3041 and then one coat of Hardwax-Olie Original. If you want colour instead, Hardwax-Olie Farbig gives an even tint on floors, and Decorwas Transparant in 3102 Beuken licht gives furniture a subtle wood tint. Always test on offcuts first.
Maintaining oiled beech
Keep a worktop or table clean with the Spray-Cleaner. Mop a floor with Wisch-Fix and refresh it with the Vloeibare Onderhoudswas. That way the finish stays beautiful for years without any need for sanding.
