Colour Tones (Ultra)

Here at Treatex, we love that every wooden surface has its own unique character. It is the grains and textures that give your doors, flooring, worktops and stairs a sense of real individuality. However, we also understand that these surfaces need to suit your home, existing in unison with the style and colours of the space.

Treatex Colour Tones strike the perfect balance, penetrating deep into the timber to provide an impressively natural finish, every time. Utilising natural pigments and sustainable raw materials, Treatex Colour Tones are available in a number of natural wood colours, so you can match your surfaces, without losing the original beauty of the wood.

Choose from Teak, Mahogany, Slate, Pebble Grey, Spruce, Chocolate, Light Oak, Medium Oak, Dark Oak, Antique Oak, Ebony and Natural.

Our latest addition, Natural Colour Tone, follows on from the formula of Treatex Hardwax Oil Natural, but using the application method of Colour Tones. Natural Colour Tone is designed specifically for light coloured timbers, such as oak, maple and ash (avoid application on darker timbers like walnut etc.) and is designed to prevent the warming effect caused by applying Hardwax Oil Ultra clear to light coloured timber.

Please note! 
Clear Hardwax Oil must always be used as the final coat when Hardwax Oil Soft White or Colour Tones are applied*

Preparation

Start by sanding the surface to smooth bare wood using 80-120 grit sandpaper, ensuring all previous finish and contaminants are removed. Make sure the surface is thoroughly dried before application and ensure you have enough Colour Tones Ultra for the whole project. If using multiple tins, it is advised to mix them together before use. We advise a small trial application, as colour stains will take to various species of timber differently.

Application

1. Roll or brush one coat of Colour Tones Ultra on. Just one coat is necessary as a second coat will only slightly deepen the colour.

2. Remove excess product with a lint-free cloth to ensure an even and correct drying. Drying should take around 3-6 hours if warmth and ventilation are maintained.

3. Once dry, seal with two coats of Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Clear. This will prevent the natural pigments from fading.

Treatex Hardwax Oil Clear should be applied after using colour tones
