Country Shades
Variety of colours and unsurpassed durability – for all weather conditions!
Opaque, at first slightly satin-gloss then satin, natural oil based wood finish. Wood colour and grain are covered. The wood texture remains noticeable. Microporous surface allows the wood to breathe and reduces swelling and shrinkage. Water-repellent, extremely weatherproof and UV stable surface does not crack, peel, flake or blister. No sanding necessary, just simply recoat; no primer
is needed. Easy and seamless application. Finish stays workable while coating. The dry finish is safe for humans, animals and plants (resistant to saliva and perspiration acc. German DIN 53160, suitable for children’s toys acc. EN 71.3)
Osmo Country Shades is best suited for all wood in outdoor areas where an especially durable coating is required: timber cladding, balconies, windows and window shutters, fences, pergolas, wooden shingles, garden furniture and garden sheds, carports etc. Ideal for renewing old microporous finishes and weathered wooden surfaces.

NUMBER OF COATS
Two coats on raw wood; for renovations, normally one coat on the clean surface is sufficient – without sanding!
Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%). Osmo Country Shades is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use. If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation. Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints, varnishes and lacquers must be completely removed. Always wear dust mask while sanding. If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat.
The finished surface and the product coverage are influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
With Osmo Flat Brush or Osmo Microfibre Roller, apply thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood along the wood grain and spread well. Allow to dry for approx. 10-12 hours under good ventilation. After drying, apply a second coat – also thinly. When renovating, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.
With Osmo Brush Cleaner (free of aromatic compounds).
Approx. 12 hours (normal climatic conditions, 20-23°C / 50-65 % rel. humidity). Ventilate well while drying. Lower temperatures and/or higher air humidity may increase drying times.
Country Shades, based on the trusted knowledge and experience of Osmo exterior wood finishes, is available in the colour of your choice. Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives which may leach out naturally when weathered.
Keep out of reach of children.
