How long does Hybrid Wood Protector last?
Wooden surfaces oiled with Hybrid Wood Protector will require maintenance and attention more often than interior surfaces due to exterior exposure harshness. The geographical location, the wood type and the colour of the oil will dictate the frequency of reoiling!
In general, a horizontal exposed wood substrate will weather approximately four times faster than a vertical exposed substrate in the same location.
Even though we recommend an annual visual check-up, horizontal surfaces like patios and exterior furniture should have maintenance every year, whereas vertical surfaces only every 3 to 5 years.
Maintenance is done with Hybrid Wood Protector in the original colour. Sanding will not be necessary but always clean the surface with Exterior Wood Cleaner prior to applying a new layer of oil.
