New solid oak internal door - Teak oil or Osmo Door Oil?

[adamr7747]

Hi All,

I've got a new solid oak door for an en-suite (so it might get the occasional splash or wet hand on it). I'm looking to keep the look fairly close to the natural wood - definitely not glossy. I've seen some recommendations for Osmo Door Oil but also have some left over teak oil I could use. That worked well on an ash desk & internal cladding. Will that be OK, or should I fork out for the Osmo oil?

Thanks,
Adam

Check door spec , sometimes oiling invalidates any guarantees.

The leaflet it came with says it "can be finished with Danish oil, waxes, varnishes or hardwax finishes such as those supplied by Osmo or Treatex"

Osmo then.

If you have some samples or offcuts, try them and see what finish you like best. have a look at the teak oil spec see if it can be used and is water resistant or not and do a sample see if you like it.
