What is it?
Fiddes has a proud history of caring for timber that began with the founder, Albert Fiddes, in the United Kingdom last century. With a long history of using technology and the finest raw materials to create finishes, you can see why Fiddes have a global reach.
Where I use it:
Fiddes Outdoor Furniture Oil is my preferred exterior finish. It is made with a blend of naturally occurring oils and resins to provide a durable finish. It is water repellent, weather resistant and won’t peel or flake over time. It maintains the natural look and feel of the timber and prevents that plastic coating feel that occurs with some finishes.
Their hardwax oil is great for indoor furniture. A benefit is that Fiddes offer a number of different sheen levels. This makes it the best option where a client seeks a degree of sheen on their custom piece.
Why I use it:
Application is easy so the recommended annual recoat of your bespoke outdoor table isn’t a huge undertaking. Simply lightly sand with 150 grit sandpaper, wipe the surface down and brush on to rejuvenate the look of the piece, and to maintain the surface.
