Jax Oleum is a leader in the wood-care sector.

With over 29 000 litres sold, a range of 12 specialty products, including a single-coat wood stain, varnish, cleaner, deck oil and soft wax, a selection of 70 colours to choose from and distributors in 10 countries, there’s no denying that Jax Oleum is a leader in the wood-care sector.

Oleum, a single-coat, oil-based wood stain, manufactured by the company is, without a doubt, their top performer.

“Whether it’s kept in its natural state or treated with colour, all wood needs to be nourished and protected,” explains the company. “Jax Oleum is incredibly effective and highly durable. Just 1 litre covers 50m², and takes only one coat to nourish, colour and help protect your wood against water, heat and sunlight.”

In addition, “it can be used inside and outside for furniture, engineered and solid wood flooring, doors and window frames, cladding, etc., as well as all veneers.”

But it’s not only the facts and figures that count in their favour.

Jax Oleum is a trusted brand in the industry and often the preferred choice of designers, decorators and flooring suppliers such as Finfloor SA who have the following to say about the products:

“We were looking for a hard-wearing, natural wood enhancing seal to finish this commercial flooring project. We really liked the great variety of colours the Jax Oleum collection offered us, and with such easy applications, we really didn’t look any further.”

Designer Jacqui Nucci of Inner Space Design concurs: “Of all the products out on the market for wooden flooring and furniture, I have had the best results with Jax Oleum. My clients have a huge choice of shades and colours to choose from. I like the friendliness of the staff and the immediate availability of the product. Very handy to have a great local product”.

Oleum was also the product of choice for The Westcliff – a luxury hotel in Johannesburg – who chose to use the stain for various furniture pieces and feature walls. It was also the product of choice for the furniture and feature walls at Primi Piatti in the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town
