FAQs
Can Tikkurila Valtti Plus Terrace Oil be used on interior wood?
No, this product is specifically designed for exterior use only. For interior wood, Tikkurila offers different product lines.
How many colors is this product available in?
Tikkurila Valtti Plus Terrace Oil is available in three pre-tinted colors.
What types of wood can I use this oil on?
It is suitable for hardwoods, thermally modified wood, untreated wood, and wood previously treated with oil.
Do I need to prime the wood before applying the oil?
For new wood, especially dense hardwoods, priming with a suitable water-repellent primer is recommended for optimal results. For previously treated or less dense woods, priming may not be necessary if the surface is properly prepared.
How often should I reapply the oil?
Reapplication frequency depends on the exposure and wear of the surface, but typically ranges from 1 to 3 years.
Can I apply this oil over painted or varnished wood?
No, this oil is not suitable for painted or varnished surfaces. The existing coating must be completely removed before application.
What is the coverage rate of the oil?
Coverage varies depending on the wood type and absorbency, but a general guideline is approximately 5-10 square meters per liter per coat. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for precise figures.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or finish after application.
Ensure the oil was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats, avoiding over-application. Ensure consistent application technique across the entire surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Wood still appears dull or unprotected after application.
The wood may require a second coat, especially if it is highly absorbent or the first coat was applied too thinly. Ensure the product was fully dried before assessing the final finish.
Product is difficult to spread.
Ensure the wood surface is not overly porous or dry. If applying in cool temperatures, the oil might be thicker; consider slightly warmer conditions or a gentle stir. Apply to smaller sections at a time.
Surface remains sticky after application.
This usually indicates over-application or insufficient drying time. Wipe away any excess oil that has not penetrated the wood with a clean cloth. Ensure adequate ventilation to promote drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation:
Ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, mold, and loose coatings. For previously treated surfaces, remove any flaking or peeling material. Sand down rough patches if necessary. For new wood, especially dense hardwoods, it is recommended to prime with a suitable water-repellent primer for optimal penetration and adhesion.
Compatibility:

Application:
Stir the oil thoroughly before use. Apply thinly and evenly using a brush or pad applicator, following the direction of the wood grain. Work in manageable sections. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when rain is expected. Allow sufficient drying time between coats as per product instructions. For best results, apply two coats, especially on absorbent wood.
Care:
Clean the oiled surface periodically with water and a mild detergent. For stubborn dirt or stains, a specialized wood cleaner can be used. Reapply the oil as needed, typically every 1-3 years, depending on the level of exposure and wear. Ensure to clean the tools with water and soap immediately after use.
