• Restore the natural colour and grain of weathered, greyed or faded teak garden furniture
• Protect new or recently sanded hardwood from moisture, weathering and outdoor exposure
• Apply a natural, clear oiled finish that enhances the grain without obscuring the wood
• Maintain hardwood decking, outdoor joinery or garden furniture as part of an annual care programme

• New wood has not been allowed to dry — new hardwood should be left to dry for 1–2 weeks before applying
• Old coatings or paints have not been removed — use sandpaper to remove any unwanted old coatings before applying
• You require a coloured finish — Coo-Var Siliconised Teak Oil is available in Clear only

Coo-Var Siliconised Teak Oil is a premium blend of natural oils and silicone derivatives formulated to enhance, preserve and restore the appearance of teak and other hardwoods. Developed by Coo-Var — a British coatings manufacturer with over 115 years of heritage — it is designed to penetrate deep into the grain of hardwood, nourishing the timber from within and providing a good degree of water resistance for both interior and exterior use.

The silicone enhancement gives this oil a significant advantage over traditional teak oils — the silicone derivatives improve water repellency and help the oil bond more effectively with the wood grain than conventional varnishes or plain oils. The result is a natural, oiled finish that enhances the colour and grain of teak and other hardwoods while protecting against moisture, weathering and the effects of outdoor exposure.

Suitable for teak garden furniture, hardwood decking, outdoor joinery and interior hardwood furniture, it can be applied by brush or cloth as a flood coat, working well into the grain and paying particular attention to end grains where moisture ingress is greatest.

Coo-Var Siliconised Teak Oil is an excellent choice for enhancing, preserving and restoring a wide range of hardwood surfaces:

• Teak Garden Furniture — Restore and preserve teak garden tables, chairs, benches and sun loungers. The silicone-enhanced formula revives the natural golden colour of weathered teak and provides excellent water repellency for outdoor use. Apply annually as part of a garden furniture maintenance programme.

• Hardwood Decking — Apply to teak, iroko, balau and other hardwood decking to preserve the natural colour and protect against moisture, weathering and foot traffic. Work the oil well into the grain and pay particular attention to end grains and board ends where moisture ingress is greatest.

• Outdoor Joinery & Garden Structures — Apply to hardwood gates, pergolas, garden structures and exterior joinery to protect against weathering and maintain the natural appearance of the wood. Suitable for all exterior hardwood joinery exposed to the elements.

• Weathered & Greyed Hardwood — Revive hardwood that has greyed or faded through weathering and lack of maintenance. Use Lacq Turbogel Wood Reviver Gel to clean and restore the wood surface first, then apply Siliconised Teak Oil to nourish and protect the restored timber.

• Interior Hardwood Furniture — Apply to interior teak and hardwood furniture, floors and joinery to enhance the natural grain and provide a durable, water-resistant oiled finish. Suitable for dining tables, chairs, worktops and hardwood flooring.

• Annual Hardwood Maintenance — Use as part of an annual hardwood maintenance programme to keep garden furniture, decking and outdoor joinery in excellent condition. Regular oiling prevents moisture ingress, cracking and greying, extending the life of hardwood significantly.

Coverage: 7 m² per litre (average — dependent on wood porosity)

Coverage per size

• 1L: Covers approximately 7 m² per coat

Note: Coverage is highly dependent on the porosity and condition of the wood. Dry, weathered or very porous hardwood will absorb significantly more oil than smooth, previously oiled surfaces. New or freshly sanded hardwood will also absorb more oil on the first coat.

Recommended coats

• 2 coats are recommended for best results — the first coat seals and nourishes, the second coat provides the protective finish
• Recoat after a minimum of 16 hours or overnight at 20°C
• Additional coats can be applied annually as part of a maintenance programme

Example calculations

• For a standard 6-seater teak garden furniture set (approximately 5–8 m² surface area): a 1L tin will cover 1–2 coats
• For hardwood decking of 15 m²: 2–3 x 1L tins for 2 coats
• For a set of hardwood garden chairs (approximately 3 m²): a 1L tin will cover 2–3 coats

For accurate project planning, we recommend ordering 10–15% extra to account for surface variation and porosity.

Surface Preparation

New Hardwood
• Allow new hardwood to dry for 1–2 weeks before applying teak oil
• Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from contaminants

Weathered or Greyed Hardwood
• Clean and revive greyed or weathered wood with Lacq Turbogel Wood Reviver Gel before oiling
• Allow the surface to dry fully after cleaning before applying oil
• Use sandpaper to remove any unwanted old coatings or paints before applying

Previously Oiled Hardwood
• Clean the surface and allow to dry fully
• Lightly sand if required to provide a key
• Apply as a maintenance coat following the same application method

All Surfaces
• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contaminants before applying

2. Apply as a flood coat by brush or cloth, working the oil well into the grain
3. Pay particular care to end grains where moisture ingress is greatest — apply generously to these areas
4. Allow to penetrate for a few minutes, then wipe off any excess oil that has not been absorbed
5. Allow to dry — touch dry in 8 hours, recoat after a minimum of 16 hours or overnight
6. Apply a second coat following the same method for best results
