Description

Oil Plus 2C is a true oil of the newest generation thanks to its revolutionary binding. The product molecularly bonds with the wood fibres in the surface to be treated and thus protects and colours your wood in a single layer. This avoids overlaps and marks, and you get low consumption and long-lasting protection. In addition, you preserve the natural look of the wood and its fibre structure. The product is also very easy to apply on almost all types of wood and it dries quickly. Thanks to the B component (accelerator), the surface is dry after 24 hours and cured after 5 days. From 5 days after application, the surface can be cleaned with water and soap. 

 

6ml and 20ml bottles of oil do NOT come with accelerator - Part B and need to be purchased separately.

130ml + comes with Accelerator Part B.


The Oil Plus 2C range is very colourful. You can choose between more than 40 colours. This range consists partly of colours that enrich the natural look and feel of your wood and partly of trendy colours that brighten up your interior with bright shades. 


The numerous certificates Oil Plus 2C has been awarded with demonstrate that the oil is a genuine quality product. The environmentally friendly oil based on linseed received an LCA from VITO, B-EPD from the FPS Public Health and the Indoor Air Comfort Gold certificate from Eurofins. These certificates respectively show that the product is produced, distributed and recycled in an environmentally friendly way (for the LCA and B-EPD) and that the product contributes to a healthy indoor environment (for the Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold certificate). Rubio Monocoat was the first in the wood treatment sector to obtain the Eurofins certificate. In addition, the oil also meets the EN 71-3 toy standard and is Food Contact Compliant. This means that the product can be safely applied to wooden toys, cutting boards, kitchen worktops, etc. 

  • Colours and protects all interior wood in 1 layer
  • Safe & ecological: 0% VOC
  • Time & cost efficient
  • Natural look and feel for all wood types
  • Easy application and maintenance

Good to know: We recommend using the B component (accelerator). This way the surface is dry after 24 hours and cured after 5 days. After curing, the surface can be cleaned with water and soap.

Don't forget: The colours of linseed oil are shown differently on each wood type. We strongly recommend you test the colour on a small part first before finishing your entire project.

Tips & Tricks

  • The product may not be diluted under any circumstances! 
  • Stir the product well before applying.
  • When using several units on one site, it is recommended to mix them to obtain an even result.
  • After application, the surface may appear slightly shiny. This will disappear after 2-3 cleanings with Universal Soap or Surface Care.
  • The smoother the surface, the less oil and pigments will penetrate into the wood, resulting in a less coloured surface.
  • Our oils are developed with environmentally friendly ingredients. However, some people may be allergic to certain elements. Therefore, we recommend wearing gloves when applying the A+B component in order to protect the skin. 

 

Instructions

STEP 1. Sand the surface scratch-free. Finish with screening net 100 to 150, depending on the sanding method used.


STEP 2. Vacuum thoroughly and remove any dust residue with Cleaner. Wait until the surface is completely dry (consult the technical data sheet of Cleaner before use).


STEP 3. Stir the A-component until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Mix the two components carefully (1 to 2 minutes) with a ratio of about 3 units A to 1 unit B.


STEP 4. Spread a small amount of Oil Plus 2C with a beige/red Rubio Monocoat Scrubby pad or hand sander with a small beige 5.9 inch Rubio Monocoat pad (you can also use the Rubio Monocoat Mouse Pad for smaller objects and corners).


* Spatula method: use a stainless steel spatula to spread out the Oil Plus 2C in areas that can be finished in maximum 30 minutes (including step 5).

* For ceilings and walls, you can use our Rubio Monocoat Brush and Rubio Monocoat beige Scrubby Pad to spread out the oil.


STEP 5. Let absorb for a few minutes. Wipe away all excess oil with a cloth or hand sander with a small white 5.9 inch Rubio Monocoat pad. Finish off with a cloth within max. 30 minutes. The surface should feel non-sticky! Submerge all used cloths in water.

Our Timber

SUSTAINABILITY


We always use oak sourced from sustainably managed forests who are FSC or PEFC certified. We also plant 1 tree for every £50 spent with us. For our oak beams, this equates to planting on average 120 trees for every 1 used. 


GRADING


We only use QP1 and QPA grade structural oak beams which means the angle at which the grain runs is limited, avoiding cracks to run off too severely and weakening the structure. This is equivalent to D24 or higher Construction grade.

CRACKS & MOVEMENT


Our oak beams are well air dried ensuring minimal movement once installed in your home. Read more on The importance of air dried oak. Oak beams vary in regards to cracks and splits. Cracks are a good indication of a dry beam and are part of the stunning unique features a natural oak beam has to offer. Once installed, your oak beam will start to acclimatise to room temperature. During this time cracks may change slightly, this is completely normal and will not affect the structural integrity of the beam.  To minimise movement we recommend leaving your beam to acclimatise for 2 weeks prior to fitting. Once installed, gradually increase the heat of your stove over a few weeks. 


OTHER DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS


Oak is a natural product, therefore knots, colour, grain pattern and other distinguishing features can vary. Some beams may have small areas of pin holing further adding to the rustic effect, we treat these beams with an anti-infestation solution.


SIZE TOLERANCE


Beam sizes are approximate to +/- 5mm.  If you need a length smaller than a standard size please order the next length up and leave a note in checkout to cut it down. Please note, this will make the item non-returnable.  Need something more bespoke? Get in touch for a quote.

COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL


Oak Beams are a combustible material and should be positioned a safe distance away from heat sources in line with building and HETAS regulations. Installing a beam too close to a heat source may cause excessive cracking and be unsafe. Read more on How far above a wood burning stove can you install an oak beam. 

 

 

Please note none of the above can be treated as defects.

FAQ's

Do beams come with fixings?

All of our fully finished fireplace beams, with the exception of the 7.5"x5.5" size come with fixings.

Depending on the size you choose we will supply a fixing method to suit your beam...

Beams 3.5" deep or less come with heavy duty keyhole fixings pre-machined into the back of the beam.

Beams deeper than this come with our 12mm concealed fixings and pre-drilled holes.

For 7.5"x5.5" beams you can see the recommended installation method in the installation tab above.

Can I fix my beam to a plasterboard wall?

If you would like to fit solely into a plasterboard wall we recommend a beam which is 3.5" deep or less. These come with keyhole fixings and you will then be able to purchase some plasterboard specific screws and wall plugs that will work in conjunction with these.

We recommend hollow wall anchors. Alternatively if you can locate and fix into the timber studs we can change the pre-drilled hole locations to suit, enabling you to fix directly into the timber studs.

How far away from my stove can I fit my beam?

Each stove will have the safe distance to combustible materials in the manual to comply with HETAS and building regulations. The average distance is around 450mm. The beam must also be a safe distance away from the flue. This distance is usually the flue diameter x 3. You can find more information here > How far above a wood burnign stove can I install an Oak Beam.

Can I have a beam with no cracks?

Although you could specify for us to select a beam with no or minimal cracks, we can not guarantee this. It depends on the stock we have available. If we do find a beam with no cracks, we can not guarantee that it will not crack slightly once installed in a central heated home.

It is typical for air-dried beams to crack and move slightly overtime during that natural acclimatisation process to your home. Cracks are usually a good indication that the beams are well air dried. If you are looking for a beam that does not crack at all then take a look at our kiln dried oak beam.

Can I have a bespoke size?

If you would like a bespoke length, please order the next length up and leave a note in the checkout to cut the beam down.

If the length you need is longer than what is listed or you need a different section size, please contact us and we will be happy to check if this is something we can offer and provide a quote.

Please note that bespoke sizes will make the beam none-returnable.

Which side of the beam are fixings positioned?

Floating Fireplace Beams WITHOUT corbels have the fixings positioned on one on the larger faces. Beams WITH corbels have the fixings on the smaller face.

If you need to change this just leave a note in checkout, however this will make the beam none-returnable.

Surrounds have the fixings positioned on the larger face for the uprights and the smaller face for the mantel to create an overhang.

Where does your wood come from?

In order for us to be sustainable our timber must be too! Our timber is always sourced from reliable and reputable sawmills who are FSC or PEFC certified. We also give back by planting 1 tree for every £50 spent with us.

I can't choose a size, can you help?

Yes of course, feel free to send us a message or even a photo of your fireplace and we will be happy to advise. In most cases it is just down to personal preference but smaller openings tend to suit smaller beams.
