Description
Give your terrace the protection it deserves – with an oil that truly penetrates.
Gjøco Wood Oil XO Golden is a penetrating, solvent-based wood oil specifically developed for pressure-treated wood outdoors. With added film protection against mold, it actively protects against graying, cracking, and weather wear – keeping your wood healthy season after season. Lightly pigmented in golden yellow, it provides a fantastic luster.
Perfect for terraces, decks, garden furniture, windbreaks, and wooden shutters made of pressure-treated timber. For light wood types, pigmented oil is recommended for even better protection.
Instructions
Pre-treatment
The surface must be clean and dry. New pressure-treated wood needs to dry for a few weeks up to 1–2 months before treatment. Rinse and brush away impregnation residues and clean with Gjøco Terrace Cleaner according to the instructions. Let dry thoroughly.
Old/previously treated wood: Clean with Gjøco Terrace Cleaner. Gray, weather-worn surfaces should be wire-brushed or sanded down to fresh wood – loose splinters and gray wood hinder penetration and can cause peeling.
Application
Stir thoroughly before use. Apply 1–2 coats wet-on-wet with a brush or roller. The oil should penetrate the wood – avoid film formation, as this can lead to peeling. Wipe off excess oil along the wood grain with a lint-free cloth.
Storage & waste disposal
Store upright, dry, and frost-free with the lid tightly closed. Liquid residues must be taken to an approved collection point for hazardous waste. Empty, clean, and dry packaging should be taken to an approved reception facility.

FAQ
Which surfaces is Gjøco Wood Oil XO Clear suitable for?
The product is developed for pressure-treated wood outdoors – terraces, decks, garden furniture, windbreaks, and wooden shutters. It is not suitable for painted or lacquered surfaces.
How long does the oil last?
The lifespan depends on exposure, wood type, and the condition of the substrate. Generally, treatment every one or two years is recommended for the best protection against weather wear and graying.
What does solvent-based mean?
The oil contains organic solvents (mineral spirits) that help it penetrate deep into the wood fibers. This provides effective protection from the inside out but requires good ventilation during application.
How much oil do I need?
Expect about 8–10 m² per liter on planed wood. Rough or porous wood will absorb more. Choose size according to your surface: 0.75L is enough for approx. 6–7 m², 3L for approx. 24–30 m², and 10L for approx. 80–100 m².
Remember to wipe away any excess that has not dried within 20 minutes; the oil must not form a film.
At what temperature can I apply it?
At least +5 °C. Low temperatures result in longer drying times. Avoid application in direct sunlight or on a hot surface – the oil must have time to penetrate before it dries.
Do I need to prime?
No, Gjøco Wood Oil XO Golden acts as both primer and finish on clean, dry, pressure-treated wood. On new wood, apply 1–2 coats wet-on-wet.
Is the product environmentally friendly?
The product is solvent-based and is classified as hazardous waste in liquid form. Empty, clean packaging should be taken to an approved reception facility. Always choose the right quantity to minimize waste.
Can I apply it myself or do I need a painter?
You can easily apply it yourself using a brush or roller. Follow the pre-treatment instructions carefully – a clean and dry surface is key to a successful result.
