Timber And Resin Finishes

Hammer Roo stocks a comprehensive range of timber and resin finishes covering hardwax oils (Osmo, Rubio Monocoat, Odies Oil), polyurethanes, UV coatings, decking oils, wood stains, traditional oil finishes, ceramic coatings, concrete finishes, and epoxy resin polishing products. The range covers interior and exterior applications across furniture, flooring, benchtops, decking, and decorative surfaces.

The right finish depends on the type of timber, where the piece will be used, the look you want, and how much ongoing maintenance you are comfortable with. Hardwax oils like Osmo and Rubio Monocoat suit interior furniture and floors where a natural feel and easy spot repair are priorities. Polyurethanes provide a harder, more durable surface film often preferred for high-traffic floors. Decking oils are formulated specifically for timber exposed to sun and rain. Hammer Roo's blog includes a guide titled "How To Choose The Right Timber Finish" that walks through the key options.

Yes, the Hammer Roo finishes range covers both interior and exterior applications. Interior products include hardwax oils, polyurethanes, UV coatings, oil finishes, and ceramic coatings for furniture, floors, and benchtops. Exterior products include decking oils (including Rubio Monocoat DuroGrit and Osmo UV Protection Oil) and exterior wood stains for cladding and outdoor furniture. Preparation and cleaning products for prepping timber before finishing are also stocked.

No, interior finishes are not designed to handle UV exposure, rain, temperature fluctuations, and foot traffic that outdoor timber surfaces face. Using an interior oil or polyurethane on a deck will typically result in the finish breaking down, peeling, or greying quickly. For decking, always use a product formulated specifically for exterior use, such as a dedicated decking oil or an exterior-grade hardwax oil. Hammer Roo stocks decking oil products from established brands specifically for this application.

A ceramic coating for timber is a liquid polymer that bonds to the wood surface and cures to form an extremely hard, hydrophobic (water-repelling) protective layer. Ceramic coatings are significantly harder than conventional varnishes and oil finishes, offering excellent scratch, chemical, and UV resistance. Hammer Roo stocks a 9H Ceramic Coating under the Hammer Roo brand from $36.90, suitable for sealing and protecting timber, stone, and other workshop and furniture surfaces.
