Guide to Our Oak Furniture Finishes

Our timber furniture collection features four distinct and exquisite shades. Two of these are exclusive to our brand, while the other two are crafted using Neptune's renowned Iso Guard treatment. Our guide will walk you through the unique qualities of each shade and what makes them special, so you can choose the right oak finish for your English oak furniture.

 

Weathered and Natural Oak

We believe in celebrating the inherent natural beauty of wood, which is why we developed Weathered Oak and Natural Oak - two shades that maintain the natural look of the timber while adding a touch of elegance and protection to your furniture.

Weathered Oak

Weathered Oak stands as the darkest finish among our selections. This sophisticated light brown shade is devoid of any orange or yellow hues, ensuring a pure, natural appearance. Weathered Oak fills the short grains of oak, resulting in a silky smooth finish. Enhanced with UV protection, this colour retains its rustic charm and resilience for years to come.

Natural Oak

Our Natural Oak shade preserves the light, authentic colour of European oak. Unlike Neptune's Natural Oak, ours has no grey undertones, focusing solely on protecting the wood without altering its natural hue. This pale brown shade maintains a clean, yellow-free finish, perfect for those who appreciate the true essence of timber.

 

Neptune Iso Guard Colours

Our timber collection also includes two Neptune Iso Guard colours: Neptune Natural Oak and Neptune Chalked Oak. These shades offer both protection and a unique colour transformation for the wood, ensuring longevity and beauty for your furniture.

The Iso Guard treatments are oil-based and protect the wood from spillages, but they also change the colour of the wood at a molecular level.

Neptune Natural Oak

Neptune Natural Oak offers a grey finish that is the more natural-looking of the two Iso Guard shades. It excels in protecting the timber against spills while preserving its colour. This shade is free from any orange or yellow tones, providing a pure and authentic oak finish.

 

Neptune Chalked Oak

Chalked Oak is the palest of our colours, featuring a translucent white finish, akin to limewash. This treatment highlights the short grains of oak, making them appear white and giving Chalked Oak its unique and appealing character.

Our four distinct shades - Weathered Oak, Natural Oak, Neptune Natural Oak, and Neptune Chalked Oak - are versatile and can be applied to a range of furniture pieces, including oak tables, bar stools, chairs, and kitchen stations. Both our exclusive shades and the Neptune Iso Guard treatments offer robust protection against spills while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood.

Choose from our selection of colours to find the perfect match for your aesthetic preferences and enjoy the timeless elegance and durability of our timber furniture.
