Wood treatments for indoor use – for the home

What are indoor wood care products and treatments used for?

Wood care products and treatments used inside the home, like those used for outdoor protection, aim to improve the durability and extend the service life of wooden surfaces, as well as restore their original colour and give them an attractive sheen. The aim is to bring out the beauty of wooden elements and highlight their natural character. Treated surfaces are easier to keep clean because dirt and stains do not penetrate as deeply into the structure of the wood.

Types of wood care products and treatments for the home

The gardpol.pl range includes various types of wood treatments and care products for indoor use. The main types include:

• oils: usually based on natural linseed oil, which effectively treats wooden surfaces and protects them against stains and dirt. Oils are designed to enhance the natural appearance of wood and prevent it from drying out.
• waxes: used for professionally finishing floors and heavily used wooden surfaces. They form a micro-coating on the surface of the wood, protecting it while allowing it to breathe. Applying wax to wooden surfaces gives them abrasion resistance and prevents dirt, water and stains from penetrating. These products usually contain natural waxes and oils.

Applications of indoor wood care products and treatments
