Smoked oak oil

Smoked oak stained

European oak. A light lacquer treatment partially fills the grain, so the wood structure

can be seen on the surface. Oak has a relatively open surface with a visible grain structu-

re. This light lacquer treatment is gentler than a dense lacquer, consequently scratches

will not be easily exposed. The wood itself has a nice tactile feel and the natural ageing

over time will be more beautiful. A delicate white pigment is added to the lacquer to main-

tain the light appearance of the oak. Flecking is a lovely effect that can naturally

occur in solid oak.

Oak oil

The finish Oak oil enhances the warm yellow tones of the oak. The oil used is a clear, na-

tural oil. This seals the surface to improve the water and stain resistance, thus minimizing

any visible marks. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a smooth surface with a

silky touch. Over time, the oil will dry out and new oil must be applied to avoid a dull surfa-

ce. Oak has a relatively open surface with a visible grain structure. Oak flecking becomes

more visible in oiled oak, and large colour differences can naturally occur.

Fredericia’s standard oil finish Oak light oil is a clear, light and natural oil which

complies with eco-certification. This oil contains a lighting pigment which is impregnated

into the surface and gives a beautiful light oak tone and improves the lightfastness. The

oil seals the surface to improve the water and stain resistance, while keeping the natural

tactility and beautiful patina of solid wood. Over time and with use, the oil will dry out and

new oil should be applied to avoid a dull surface. Oak light oil is designed to match the

finish Oak lacquered in colour, however, natural colour differences are part of the authentic

character of wood.

Oak soap

European oak. Smoked oak with oil treatment is only used for solid wood. The oak is

fumed in special steam that darkens the surface and makes the colour more brown.

Different parts of the solid oak absorb the fume to different degrees and colour differences

will naturally occur. After fuming, the oil treatment further enhances the warm tones of the

oak. The oil used is a clear, natural oil. This seals the surface to make it water and stain

resistant, thus minimising any visible marks. Over time, the oil will dry out and new oil must

be applied to avoid a dull surface. Beautiful flecking is an effect that can naturally occur in

solid oak.

Walnut oil

American walnut with a tight, ”closed” surface structure. The oil used is a clear, natural

oil. This seals the surface to make it water and stain resistant, thus minimising any visible

marks. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a smooth surface with a silky touch.

Over time, the oil will dry out and new oil must be applied to avoid a dull surface.

European oak. Smoked oak stained is a stain treatment that resembles the colour of

smoked oak. It is used in furniture where the natural variation in wood requires a more

harmonious result than what fumed smoked oak can offer. Frederica uses a stain solution

that enhances the warm tones of the oak and reveals the natural wood structure. After

staining, the wood is covered with a delicate layer of lacquer. As a result, smoked oak

stained is easy to maintain and able to resist stains and water quite well.

Walnut lacquered

American walnut with a tight, ”closed” surface structure. A light lacquer treatment that par-

tially fills the grain is applied to seal the surface and make it stain and water resistant. This

light lacquer treatment is gentler than a dense lacquer, consequently scratches will not be

easily exposed. The wood itself has a nice tactile feel and the natural ageing over time will

be more beautiful. The lacquer applied to walnut is clear without any colour pigment.

Soap treatment is a finish that leaves the surface as raw and natural as possible. The

natural oils of the soap gently seal the wood and gives it some stain resistance, however

a new soap treatment must be applied from time to time to maintain the appearance.

Soaped oak is light when new and darkens over time. Oak has a relatively open surface

with a visible grain structure, where beautiful flecking is an effect that can naturally occur

in solid oak.
