Description
For rich, natural looking timber surfaces
Moisturiser is the perfect ‘Finishing Touch’ for both new and restored timber that works completely differently from varnish or polyurethane; instead of forming a skin on the timber, it absorbs deep into the grain to create a mellow glow that feels like silk; Moisturiser is like ‘Skin care for wood’.
Cooper’s Moisturiser is non-toxic and is suitable for most interior and exterior timber surfaces*, simply apply the Moisturiser and leave the wood to absorb what it needs, then buff away the surplus, it really is that easy, anyone can do it.
Maintaining a moisturised timber surface is easy, simply keep the timber fed with additional Moisturiser as needed, the additional Moisturiser absorbs into the existing Moisturiser and never builds up like an oil or varnish, this means there’s no ugly built-up coating to crack or peel.
A Moisturised surface actually improves over time and will develop a patina that truly is the perfect ‘Finishing Touch’
Save Money
Another great bonus is the price; per finished square metre, Moisturiser is cheaper than three coats of an average polyurethane or oil.
Applying
Cooper’s Moisturiser is easy to apply, just brush, spray or wipe it on, the wood will absorb just what it needs and then buff away any surplus 48 hours later. Even an unskilled person can do this, plus its non-toxic and safe to work with. You can even apply it in dusty conditions or pre finish the woodwork before it is installed.
Suitable surfaces
Cooper’s Moisturiser needs an absorbent surface to work, such as newly sanded wood or stripped wood and in some cases, sun dried varnish that’s made the varnish absorbent.
Suitable projects*
Cooper’s Moisturiser is intended for interior and exterior projects such as all the wooden joinery and furniture in your home or commercial premises. This includes:
- Board and batten ceilings or beams
- Wall panelling, picture rails, dado and skirting
- Windows and architrave.
- Fireplaces and built-in cabinetry
- Doors and door surrounds
- Freshly stripped floors. Not always ideal for new floors as new timber lacks seasoned hardness.
- Wooden furniture, chairs, tables.
*Establish suitability first.
Coverage
Allow 1 litre of Moisturiser per 8 square metres of timber surface. This should provide plenty for application plus some spare for future maintenance when required.
Maintenance is easy, simply keep the timber fed with additional Moisturiser when the timber looks lack lustre, the additional Moisturiser absorbs into the existing Moisturiser and will never builds up like an oil or polyurethane, this means there’s no ugly built-up coating to crack, peel or fail.
The frequency of the maintenance will depend on how exposed the timber is, a ceiling will be many years between feeds, while a sunny window might be every year or so. Whatever it needs, your woodwork keeps looking great – without ever needing to be stripped again. What other finish can say that?
