MAXIMUM PROTECTION. JUST ONE COAT.

WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING EXTERIOR TIMBER, ACHIEVING A BEAUTIFUL, DURABLE FINISH DOESN’ T HAVE TO MEAN SPENDING HOURS APPLYING MULTIPLE COATS
Osmo One Coat Only HS Plus combines long-lasting exterior wood protection with an exceptionally efficient application system – just one coat is required.
Designed for exterior timber, One Coat Only has a high oil content that provides double the coverage of a conventional two-coat finishing system, helping to significantly reduce both application time and material costs. For professionals working across larger projects, as well as homeowners looking for an easier way to protect exterior wood, that can make a considerable difference.
Efficiency, however, doesn’ t come at the expense of appearance. Rather than forming a thick film over the timber, One Coat Only penetrates the wood and allows its natural grain and character to remain visible. The result is an attractive, natural-looking finish that enhances the timber while providing dependable protection against the elements.
Once dry, the finish is water and dirt resistant as well as weather and UV resistant, helping exterior timber withstand the demands of changing British weather. By protecting the wood while allowing it to breathe, One Coat Only also helps to reduce swelling and shrinkage caused by changes in moisture.
Its microporous properties are particularly important. Unlike conventional film-forming finishes, the coating remains breathable and flexible, meaning it will not crack, peel or flake as the timber naturally moves.
This makes One Coat Only a versatile option for a wide variety of exterior projects, from timber cladding, fencing and garden structures to garden furniture and children’ s exterior play equipment. Once the coating has fully dried, it is also safe for humans, animals and plants, making it particularly well suited to timber used throughout gardens and outdoor living spaces.
Maintenance has been considered too. When the time eventually comes to refresh the finish, there is no need to sand the existing Osmo coating before applying a future maintenance coat, provided the surface remains intact and is suitably cleaned and prepared.
With just one coat required, excellent coverage and long-lasting exterior protection, Osmo One Coat Only HS Plus offers a faster, more economical way to protect timber without hiding what makes wood beautiful in the first place.
