Floor stain

Staining a floor gives a wooden floor a beautiful appearance. With Osmo Floor Stain, you can create a wash effect, where the wood grain is colored in the desired shade. This product can also be used to create a more opaque effect on a wooden floor. Osmo calls this Olie-Beits. Thanks to the oil, this product is very efficient and has a high coverage of up to 48 m² per liter; consequently, only a small amount of stain is needed to treat an entire wooden floor.

• Based on natural, plant-based oils and waxes
• High yield, 48 m²/l
• Attractive transparent colors
• Easy to maintain
• Protects against moisture and dirt

Osmo Olie-Beits for floors is available in three different grey variants: 3512 Zilvergrijs, 3514 Grafiet and 3518 Lichtgrijs. 3514 Grafiet is the darkest grey variant in our range, and 3518 Lichtgrijs is the lightest. 3512 Zilvergrijs sits somewhere in between. Can't decide? No problem. We also sell test packs of all variants, so you can make a test on one board and choose the right variant.

By applying two coats of Osmo Floor Stain (Olie-Beits) to bare sanded or new wood, an opaque effect is created on the wooden floor. After applying two coats of Floor Stain, it is recommended to apply one coat of Hardwax-Olie Original. This ensures better protection against moisture, dirt, and stains.

Transparent Floor Stain
For a transparent coloring of the wood, you can apply one coat of Olie-Beits to the floor. Applying a single coat ensures that it does not create an opaque effect. However, it is recommended to finish the floor with two coats of Hardwax-Olie Original for proper protection. You can also apply only the colorless Hardwax-Olie without the colored floor stain. This creates a wet-look effect, where the floor takes on a color as if it has been wetted.

Applying Floor Stain
1. Stir the Floor Stain well for 2 minutes. After opening the can, the Oil and Wax have separated. Always perform a test on the surface first to check if the result has the desired effect. The floor stain can only be applied to sanded-bare or new wooden floors.

2. Apply the first coat of Olie-Beits to the new or sanded wood using a White Pad or a lint-free cloth.

3. Within 20 minutes, wipe away the excess product along the grain with the Fleece pad. Then dry-buff the Olie-Beits with it.

4. Mistakes made during application can be corrected on the wet surface up to 30 minutes after application. This includes roller marks or brush hairs.

5. The drying time for the first coat is approximately 12 hours (at 23 degrees and 50% relative humidity). Drying takes longer at lower temperatures or higher humidity. Ensure proper ventilation at all times. Therefore, make sure windows and doors are open. 6. For an intensely colored effect: Repeat the “Light colored effect” process, applying a maximum of 2 color coats.

7. For both a “Light colored effect” and an “Intensely colored effect”, the surface must be finished with Hardwax-Olie Original Colorless. With 1 coat of Floor Stain, 2 coats of Hardwax-Olie must be applied. With 2 coats of Floor Stain, 1 coat of Hardwax-Olie is sufficient. The Hardwax-Olie should be rolled on thinly with the Osmo Microfiber Roller and not buffed out. Always do this along the plank and wood grain.

8. The drying time for Hardwax-Olie Original Colorless is approximately 8-12 hours.

Application Tools

The Osmo Pads are the right tool for applying the Floor Stain. Use the white pad to apply the Floor Stain. Next, let the oil soak in for 20 minutes and buff the product dry with the Osmo Fleece pad. For small surfaces such as a table, Osmo Netherlands offers the Hand Pad Holder with Pads. For large surfaces such as a floor, we have the Hinged Pad Holder with Pads in our range. The Hinged Pad Holder can be attached to a telescopic pole, allowing the work to be performed while standing. The Hardwax-Olie can be applied with an Osmo Microfiber roller.
