COVER STORY Jax Classics stocks a wide variety of products at its headquarters in Sandton, Johannesburg. "Jax Oleum can be used indoors and outdoors, and it is a very cost-effective product as one litre covers up to 50m², depending on the type of wood and its preparation." “To further protect and seal the oiled surface, we have a 2K Matt Varnish, however, most brands of varnishes and sealants work well over our oil, once fully dry,” Datt points out. Jax Oleum is really simple to use, he says, adding that “Once the wood has been sanded and cleaned, you simply oil the surface by hand, leave it to penetrate the upper layers of the wood for a few minutes and then wipe off the excess. “You can change the colour of any natural wood product, enhancing the grain and transforming the look completely. Jax Oleum works on flooring, doors, window frames, furniture, roof trusses, gum poles, latte and more, while at the same time treating it and increasing its longevity.” SATISFYINGLY DIVERSE Cost effective, one litre of Jax Oleum covers up to 50m². www.timberiq.co.za Choice is at your fingertips with Jax Oleum as more than 70 colours are available, which range from shades of whites, greys, browns and blacks, as well as bright colours – clients have the choice of endless options.
