  • "That's not the color!" - Not really, but why not? Tips for ordering custom-mixed wood oil

    What to look for when requesting a custom color mix? What does it take to make the end result exactly the shade we envisioned and ordered? Rubio Monocoat wood oils offer a wide range of colors, and these colors can be mixed with each other. Which means we can take advantage of the unique color mixing option, in which our colleagues do their best to create a color that perfectly matches the idea. In this case, our creativity is really limited only by our imagination. Why "isn't that the color"? On the other hand, we all feel the feeling when we end up not getting exactly the result we envisioned - whether it’s just a shade or markedly different from our plans, it’s definitely disappointing if not the color of our dreams comes back from the finished wood furniture, wood floor or window, though the sample looked so good. What could be the reason why the mixed color shows differently on the sample and the finished wood surface? How can we avoid this disappointment? The following is a brief summary of the considerations you should consider when requesting a custom color mix from us. Submission of raw wood sample For each individual color mix, you may want to submit a raw wood sample. The essence of the raw wood sample is that it is derived from the same wood from which the wood surface to be treated is made or will be made. It is important to send the sample from exactly the same wood from which the furniture or wooden surface is made, not just similar. So, if you’re going to make an oak table, it’s a good idea to send a piece of plank, a small piece of oak, from which to make the table before making it. Our colleagues will mix the requested color for this piece, so the color swatch can be viewed on the wooden surface on which it will be used - this is the closest to what our color will look like on the final object, the wooden surface. If, in the end, the unique color-mixed wood oil is not applied to the wood surface, not to the wood material that was sent to apply the sample, then the final color may be significantly different from what we saw on the sample, i.e., the color we dreamed of. Even if at first glance, the wood originally intended to be used and the wood actually used in the end look quite similar. So, if we want to see exactly the color on the finished wooden furniture, on the wooden surface, which we liked in the mixed sample, then we must apply the unique color of wood oil to the same wood and raw material as the sample. Veneer as a raw wood pattern It is particularly important that if a unique color mixture of wood oil is to be used on a veneered wood surface, the raw wood sample will be from the same bundle of veneer from which the surface to be treated is or will be made. In the case of veneer, there can be huge differences within wood species, so there can be visible differences between oak and oak, the shades can vary from yellowish, lighter shades to redder darker shades, which affect the overall effect of the final result. If the raw wood sample is not obtained from the same veneer bundle as the one in which it will be used, even if the selected individual color is mixed, the final result may appear to have a different effect. That's when they say, "That's not the color." - but not on the wooden surface it was made for. Sanding of the raw wood pattern An equally important factor is the abrasion of the raw wood sample cast. In this article we will already write about how sanding affects the final look, surface treatment and coloring of a wooden furniture, wooden floor, wooden door or any wooden object. That is why it is especially worth paying attention to the fact that the polish of the delivered raw wood sample should be the same as that from which our furniture and wooden surface will be made or has already been made. The same color may look quite different on a sanded wood surface with a grain size of 120 and a grain size of 150. In the case of colored wood oils, the color pigments need an adhesive surface, so if the wood surface is very highly polished, it may be more difficult to color it. In terms of samples, this means that if the raw wood sample sent is 120 sanded and then the finished wood surface and wood furniture is finally 150 sanded, our unique color mix will look quite different on the two wood surfaces, 120 lighter, while A 150-grit wood surface will have a darker shade. If you pay attention to these factors when placing your order for custom color mixing, you can be sure that you will not be disappointed in the result either. Our colleagues handle each individual color mix with maximum care and precision and do not rest until the desired result is achieved. We have collected our color samples on this page, and if you already have a specific idea, you can place your custom color order here.

  • Modernization and reconstruction of the Hungarian State Opera – with Rubio Monocoat

    Renovation of wood floors and wood coverings with a next-generation product. Renovation and modernization works of the Opera were completed in March, so now we can see the results of large-scale renovation. One of the main goals of the impressive and enormous reconstruction was to restore the building to its original splendor using modern technological solutions. We are really proud that Rubio Monocoat was able to take part in this amazing architectural, artistic restoration process and contributed to a sustained, modern protection and look with our interior wood oil in a unique colour. The challenges of the renovation The Opera was originally designed by Miklós Ybl. He and the most brilliant artists, designers and experts of their ages did an impressive job of every little detail of the House. Although various renovation works have been carried out in the last 135 years, this has only made the reconstruction of the original ideas even more challenging. One of the most important elements of the interior (in addition to the beautiful decorations on the walls and lighting elements, of course) are the striking wooden coverings and wooden floors - which can also be seen from above due to the design of the auditoriums. For this reason it has become even more important that these wooden surfaces regain their appearance close to the original, while receiving much more durable, resistant wood protection than before. Surface treatment of Swedish floors, tongue-and-groove wooden floors and inlaid elements The Swedish floor of the auditorium is made of oak, similar to a wooden parquet, made of wider wooden elements. The color of the traditional floor was perfectly matched for the colours of the room, harmonized with the upholstery, wall painting and decorative elements. The building has traditional wooden slotted floors and inlaid elements, which in addition to their classic atmosphere have a very durable design, so they also placed great emphasis on their renovation. This time the wood surfaces have been treated with oil for easier maintenance in the long run. Modern technology provides the solution: Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C - interior wood protection To preserve the natural look and feel of oak, the contractors opted for Rubio Monocoat interior wood oil, which is also available in a unique blend of colours, giving the wooden floor a great opportunity to retain its old splendor while receiving state-of-the-art wood protection. After treatment with wood oil, the wood surfaces have a very high abrasion resistance, do not slip and do not form a glossy film. The oiling gives the floors a deep, intense colour and also a natural look. In addition to the wooden floor, other wooden cladding in the building was also restored to look like the original, which was a very meticulous and lengthy job. The inlaid tiles made of oak in the lounges and lodge corridors were created by hand carving 136 years ago and they have almost completely lost their original colour due to the synthetic treatments they have suffered in recent years. In this case our uniquely mixed Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C oil was used to reconstruct the colours. Easy-to-maintain, durable wood protection In order for the effect of the renovation and reconstruction to remain truly long-lasting, so that the wood surfaces retain their current intense and natural appearance for a long time, they are going to clean with Rubio Monocoat Universal Soap. Furthermore the Universal Maintenance oil will be used for the surface upgrades needed later. It is a great pleasure for us to be part of a project with such a large-scale and breathtaking result as the renovation of the Hungarian State Opera shortly after the appearance of Rubio Monocoat in Hungary. Project name: Modernization and reconstruction of the Hungarian State Opera Location: Budapest, Hungary Product: Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C Colour: Unique colour Wood Type: Oak - Your Rubio Monocoat project in the spotlight for a month? Wouldn’t that be fantastic? Send all the pictures of your Rubio project to: shop@rubioshop.hu. Your project will be featured on our website and social media for a month.

  • How to sand well? It means, how to create the conditions for the perfect wood surface?

    Preparation of wood surfaces before oiling Whatever woodworking is planned to be carried out, the first work process will be the proper preparation of the wood surface. One of the most important steps in this is sanding. Fortunately, everyone can polish it - but it doesn't matter how. You can choose from very different solutions depending on the purpose, the wood surface and the workflow you are preparing for. We have gathered the most important factors that are definitely worth considering so that you can find and achieve the right method and end result for you. Why do I want to polish? Basically, sanding is used in three cases: 1. to form precise parts (eg to achieve optimal joints), 2. to roughen the surface before gluing, and 3. to remove residues from previous surface treatment to prepare the surface treatment. So that you can do the sanding with the right tools and in the right way, the first step is to determine the purpose of the sanding. We are now choosing Objective 3, so you can read more about sanding in preparation for surface treatment in the future, and learn more about the other two paths in our blog posts. How big and what wood surface will I work with? Depending on the size and design of the wood surface you want to prepare, you can choose between two sanding techniques: manual or machine sanding. By definition, in the case of smaller, more articulated workpieces (eg a finished piece of furniture that we want to renovate), it is worthwhile to grind by hand, while if you can work with furniture boards or cut-to-size wood, you can choose machine grinding. You can sand by hand with sandpaper, an abrasive pad, sandpaper or even an abrasive sponge. Today we also have many options in the field of small machine grinding, most often we use eccentric and vibratory and belt grinders. Of course, there are also larger disc sanders for floor sanding, which we will not cover now. What kind of abrasive will I need? The right choice of abrasive is the key to all abrasions, as well as to the preparation of the wood surface treatment. This is one of the factors that has the greatest impact on what surface we get in the end, what our woodwork will look like by the end of the surface treatment. For this reason, it is very important to be aware of the most important property of abrasives, abrasive grains. Abrasives always show the fineness of the grit, this numerical value can be found after the “P” mark, e.g. P60 or P120. The numerical value actually indicates the number of equal grid openings per inch on the substrate. The finer the grains (i.e. the smaller the grid opening), the higher the number - the finer the sanding: P12 - 80: coarse grinding; to eliminate surface defects and unevenness P100-120: intermediate grinding; removes scratches and marks on rough sanding P150-1200: fine grinding; final smoothing, greatly affects the final quality In order to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to use abrasives of different finenesses, and they are always applied in the correct order. If a grit is left out, our sanding will eventually be uneven, leaving sanding marks on the wood surface to which the color pigments adhere and, depending on the color of the wood oil chosen, slightly or severely deteriorating the appearance of the finished wood oiled surface. What is the grinding process? What is the correct grain order? For wood surfaces to be treated with wood oil, it is even more important to follow the correct grain order than for varnished or painted wood surfaces, as the adhesion of wood oil is also affected by too fine sanding, not only coarse (see later). The order of the grains and the number of sanding cycles depend on the size and number of overhangs between the individual wood elements, but also on the degree of soiling and the unevenness of the wood surface. Adherence to the grades actually means that with the next grade you should always be able to remove traces of the previous grade of sanding, while keeping from coarser sanding to finer sanding. So if you start grinding with a grain size of P60, the next grade should be P100, not P150 at all. Do not jump too much between the steps so that we can nicely remove the traces of the previous sanding. The following figure illustrates the grain sequences: Source: Tudástár – PEZA Kft. When preparing a wood surface to be treated with wood oil, it is advisable to sand the surface thoroughly, without scratches, up to a grain size of 120. Tips and good advice for sanding If you choose our Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C indoor wood oil to treat your wood surfaces, we can also provide some special suggestions to make the end result really right for you: In the case of colored wood oils, the color pigments need an adhesive surface, so if the wood surface is very highly polished, it may be more difficult to color it. The ideal particle size is therefore 120, at which time we allow the wood oil to adhere to the wood for about 10 minutes. For surfaces with a higher polish, it takes more time for the wood oil or color pigments to form suitable bonds, so allow to act for about 20 minutes before wiping off any excess wood oil. The waiting time, of course, depends on the conditions of the wood surface treatment (humidity, temperature). If you want to achieve the most intense staining with a coat of wood oil, we recommend that you also use our Rubio Monocoat Woodprep surface preparation product before applying the wood oil. It is very easy to use: it is applied to the surface richly with a brush, but without puddles, and then, if the wood is dry again, it is ready for oiling. If you want a completely black wood surface, you can do it with our RMC PrecolorEasy - Intense Black wood stain and our RMC Oil Plus 2C - Black wood oil. Finally, here are some general good tips to keep in mind for any grinding job: It is especially important to sand in the direction of the fibers whenever possible and to avoid cross-sanding. If sanded crosswise, the wood fibers can be damaged, ie they will open, the wood surface will be rougher in these places, at the same time it will absorb more color pigments, so the wood surface will be darker here - the end result will be uneven, stained. Wear a dust mask and always sand in a well-ventilated room, so try to get as little dust as possible into your body during sanding. Inhaled abrasive dust, especially oak, is especially harmful to our health and harms our lungs. Fix either the material to be sanded or the sanding tool, depending on their size and mobility. For proper and safe sanding, it is essential that one of the segments is well secured and that we can exert the right force without unexpectedly moving our piece. When working with an eccentric sander, make sure that the eccentric sander is intact. This is because if the sanding sheet is damaged, it sands circular scratches on the wood surface. These circular sanding marks will also be visible in the end result, so we will have to do the sanding again to get a beautiful, scratch- and stain-free, even result. Always keep the work surface clean. As with any work process, it is important to have a good idea of ​​what you are doing when sanding - this requires you to remove accumulated chips and dust from the surface from time to time. It helps a lot to check our sanding with a lamp, illuminating the surface with shadows so we can see where more treatment is needed. If you have any questions about sanding, surface treatment, or our wood oils and wood preservatives, please leave a comment or write a message to the email address shop@rubioshop.hu and we will be happy to help.

  • Oil or glaze? Which surface treatment should we choose to protect exterior and interior wood?

    In order to decide which finish is right for us, it is really useful to check out the differences of oil and glaze, how to use and maintain them. So take a break and read our short article about oil and glaze, and finally let us introduce our product which could be a great finish for almost every type of wood and wood project. What is glaze? A wood preservative that stains wood while preserving its veins while ensuring its protection. There are also outdoor, indoor, and universal glazes that also have relevant differences, such as UV protection, in-use emissions, and toxic content. We also distinguish between water-based and solvent-based glazes, the former having a significantly shorter drying time, but a very low brightness. In addition, dark-colored, high-pigment glazes provide protection for longer than light ones with less pigment. There are important differences between thick and thin glazes: Thick glaze: forms a waterproof film on the surface that provides protection as long as the top layer is intact. As the wood begins to expand under the influence of heat or moisture, the film layer cracks and the wood protection ceases, so it is primarily recommended for the treatment of dimensional surfaces such as doors and windows. Thin glaze: forms a thinner layer, it is more absorbed into the wood, emphasizing its grain. It is also recommended for the treatment of non-dimensional surfaces, such as fences, beams, garden furniture. Prepare the surface before glazing Most glazes need a primer before application, and it doesn't hurt to use some wood preservatives against mold, fungi, mites, and insect attacks. In addition, it is important to take into account the condition of our wood, as the primer and glaze are absorbed most effectively into completely dry wood surfaces. Before each glazing, whether it is a previously treated or untreated surface, it is necessary to carry out complete sanding and cleaning, the glaze can only adhere to a dust-free, slightly rough surface. Be sure to correct surface defects during sanding before surface treatment. Glazing It is advisable to apply the first layer of glaze with a brush, then sand it over after drying and apply another layer. It is recommended to perform these operations 2-3 times for a proper end result. In the case of solvent products, do not attempt to treat heated surfaces in any way, such as painting a fence in the middle of summer, as at higher temperatures the solvents will evaporate from the glaze and a uniform and beautiful surface will be impossible. In addition, at the edges of wooden surfaces, e.g. the edges of the table tops, the wood absorbs the glaze better, these parts look darker if we do not pay special attention to them. It is advisable to leave the smears on the edges at the end and rub them with a Pad or sponge rather than working with a brush dipped in a glaze to minimize the difference between the surface and the edges. Maintenance of a glazed surface The basic property of thick glaze is that it forms a film of different thicknesses on the wood surfaces, which protects the wood until the lacquer layer is damaged. As soon as this topcoat cracks, the glaze breaks off and its protection becomes ineffective. This can only be remedied by sanding and re-surface treatment. Also, it should not be forgotten that the wood may change due to temperature and humidity, increase in size or, on the contrary, decrease during drying, these processes can also cause the protective layer to crack and then the protection to disintegrate. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to check the condition of the glazed surface annually and to renovate the surface if necessary. However, during renovations, the glazed surface will become darker and darker as the layers are stacked on top of each other, so that in the long run the glazed surfaces will become more and more stained. Renovation of the surface can only be done without a complete sanding. What is (wood) oil? A wood preservative made of natural materials that does not form a film on the surface of the wood, since after applying the oil, the excess is removed from the surface by wiping back. Surfaces treated with wood oil are extremely easy to maintain, as full sanding is not required before refreshing and renovating the surface, it is sufficient to clean and re-oil the surface. Because there is no film layer that could crack, they are less susceptible to surface damage, scratches, and are more durable and can be used on both dimensional and non-dimensional surfaces. Usually two coats of oil need to be applied to the surface, but there is also a more cost effective oil that does not treat the wood surface based on saturation so it is sufficient to apply one coat. The oil can be colored or colorless, indoor or outdoor. It preserves the natural appearance of the wood, makes the veins of the wood visible, while providing UV protection thanks to the pigments, and makes the wood surfaces wear-resistant and water-repellent. Surface preparation before applying wood oil As with all surface treatments, a dust-free surface is important before using wood oils, it is advisable to sand up to a grain size of 120 (outdoors to a grain size of 80-100). In the case of surfaces previously treated with another material, the remnants of the previous treatment must be completely removed by sanding. If you want to refresh an oil-treated surface, it is not necessary to sand the surface. Application of wood oil It is recommended to apply the oil with a Pad, a spatula or a Pad placed on an eccentric sander. Due to its texture, it is very simple and easy to distribute evenly on the surface. It is important to wipe off excess oil from the surface after application and allow it to dry completely. There are wood oils that do not contain solvents, volatile organic compounds, so no harmful substances are emitted during their application. Depending on the product, they can even be used to treat kitchen surfaces or children's toys. Maintenance of oiled surfaces The oil is absorbed into the wood, it does not form a film on its surface, so we can expect a longer service life. However, to clean oiled wood surfaces, we need to use soap concentrate sold for this purpose, because the use of conventional cleaning agents can damage or fade the surface. It is a simple solution, a cleaning agent available in a spray form for furniture or a water-soluble concentrate sold for larger surfaces. The surface can be updated with care oil as needed up to a year. Spray or other care oils are also available for this purpose. If the surface shows signs of wear and drying, it is recommended to refresh the surface with care products or care oil, if the color starts to fade or turn gray, re-oil the surface with the oil of the same color used for the surface treatment. The great advantage of oil-treated surfaces is that it is not necessary to sand the surface beforehand for the renovation, it is enough to clean it of dust and dirt. So it is worth taking care to regularly clean the surface from grease stains and deposits with cleaning agents developed for oiled surfaces. Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C – the new generation of wood protection Colours and protects your wood in one single layer Rubio Monocoat has also brought two revolutionary changes in the field of wood oil production: production of wood oils based on molecular bonding technology in addition, these products are 100% solvent-free, so they do not contain any harmful or toxic substances, volatile organic compounds that could be released into the environment during the use of wood oils. Let's take a closer look at these processes, learn about the special properties and advantages of Rubio Monocoat wood oils over other products on the market: 1. Molecular bonding technology: this means that we do not treat the wood surface by saturation, but when the wood oil comes into contact with the wood surface, the oil particles and the wood fibers form a molecular bond with each other. Due to this, only the top layer of the wood surface is able to absorb oil, which means that it is outstanding and, on the other hand, means that it can be worked on and repaired without staining. If we have to take a break during the application, resuming the surface treatment after a few minutes, no overlaps will appear on the treated surface. 2. 0% VOC content - solvent-free: Rubio Monocoat considered it important to take environmentally conscious steps in the production of wood oil even before the introduction of the current, stricter regulations, so from the very beginning it worked to make its products completely solvent-free. Thanks to molecular binding technology, it has succeeded! Harmful substances have become completely unnecessary, while the undisputed quality is guaranteed. 3. Fit for food - food safety certificate: the certificate awarded by Eurofins shows that RMC Oil Plus 2C can also be used safely to treat wood surfaces that come into contact with food. According to this, it can even be used to protect and paint the surface of wooden spoons, wooden shovels, other kitchen utensils and worktops. 4. Toy standard - toy safety certificate: this European directive regulates the presence of certain substances in connection with children's toys. Our Rubio Moonocoat Oil Plus 2C and Hybrid Wood Protector indoor and outdoor wood oils meet this standard, so they can be used on any wooden children's toys, such as outdoor climbing frames, swings, children's furniture or indoor wooden toys, mats, children's cots. 5. Wet - can also be used to protect wooden surfaces in contact with water: as the wood oil adheres to the wood during application and does not form a film on its surface (as opposed to thick glaze) but remains open, its effectiveness is not affected by moisture reaching the wood surface. The two-component solution is excellent for the treatment and protection of wooden kitchen and bathroom surfaces, wooden floors and counters. 6. VOC-free fast drying: we are all aware of the nasal-squeezing solvent odors and many inconveniences associated with prolonged but absolutely necessary ventilation during home renovations and remodeling, and we all want to prevent harmful substances from penetrating the entire home. These annoyances can be forgotten with Rubio Monocoat wood oils, as they dry out without emitting volatiles and are extremely fast, so they can be used with confidence in any season, even indoors. 7. Unique colors, color combinations: one of the biggest advantages of Rubio Monocoat wood oils, and what makes it really unique on the market, is that our colored oils not only protect the wood in a single layer, but also provide a beautiful, intense color to the surfaces. In our wide range of colors, you can easily find the right one or even mix it up as a combination of several colors. Moreover, with the help of our unique waxes, you can add natural aging, smoky color effects or other exciting effects and contrasts to your wood surfaces. With the help of our samples, you can easily and quickly perform tests on specific surfaces. In addition, the Rubio Monocoat product family offers many options for treating outdoor wood surfaces, such as our increasingly popular Rubio Monocoat WoodCream product. It is a hydrophobic wax cream wood paint developed primarily for softwood, outdoor surfaces that do not require abrasion resistance (eg facades, fences) and has a unique color palette. With a wide range of colors, everyone is sure to find the shade that suits their needs. Thanks to WoodCream's special technology, it protects your outdoor wood surfaces with a pearlescent effect, increasing their water-repellent ability. Self-cleaning, its use reduces the spread of microorganisms (algae, molds, fungi) and the risk of frost damage. More information about our products is also available on our webshop.
