WOCA Exterior Oil is a plant-based penetrating exterior wood oil designed to protect and enhance outdoor wood surfaces. The oil penetrates deep into the wood fibers, strengthening the wood from within while providing durable protection against moisture, weather conditions, and UV exposure.
Unlike film-forming coatings or paint, WOCA Exterior Oil allows the wood to breathe naturally while preserving its natural color and wood grain. This helps maintain the natural beauty of outdoor wood while creating a dirt-repellent surface that is easier to maintain over time.
WOCA Exterior Wood Oil is suitable for a wide range of exterior wood surfaces, including:
- Wooden decks and terraces
- Outdoor furniture and garden furniture
- Fences and exterior trim
- Wooden cladding and siding
- Pergolas and patios
- Docks and areas around swimming pools
- Benches and outdoor structures
It performs well on both new wood and weathered wood, helping restore color while protecting the surface from sun, moisture, and changing weather conditions.
Exterior Oil testers are highly recommended so you can test the color on your wood species before completing your project.
Key benefits include:
- Deep penetrating exterior wood oil protection
- Strong UV protection and UV resistance
- Enhances the natural color and grain
- Creates a dirt-repellent surface

Do I need to clean my deck before applying Exterior Oil?
If the wood is new, cleaning is usually not required. For older or weathered wood surfaces, clean the surface thoroughly with WOCA Exterior Cleaner before applying the oil.
Will oiling teak furniture change its color?
Yes. Applying oil will enhance the natural color and slightly darken the teak. If you prefer the natural silver-grey look of weathered teak, clean the furniture regularly with WOCA Exterior Cleaner instead of oiling it.
