Osmo protects a library studio

Osmo’s eco-friendly interior wood finishes have been used to protect a unique kit-of-parts system that creates an elegant and practical book storage solution and comfortable reading space.

Creative partnership agency, 3rdSpace was requested by a homeowner in Oxfordshire to transform a modular garden room into a library studio. To make the most out of the available space, 3rdSpace designed a modern structure which would store the literature professor’s volume of books.

Opting for a prefabricated system, the project required no planning permission and wasn’t restricted by time due to it being constructed off site. 3rdSpace specifies Osmo wood finishes on all of their projects and this one was no different, with Polyx-Oil white tint (3040) being used internally on the birch plywood walls and ceilings.

Polyx-Oil Tints add a touch of elegance and glamour to any room, as well as providing optimum protection. Based on the original Polyx-Oil product, it retains the natural beauty and character of the wood in a perfect way. Easy to use and apply, Polyx-Oil Tints ensures the wood remains microporous and can be touched up to cover any abrasions without a problem. Polyx-Oil creates a durable and water and dirt resistant surface.

“The workshop is exactly what I wanted in every respect,” comments the homeowner. “I couldn’t wish for a more intelligently designed and beautifully built space to work in. It is going to go on giving me please for years to come”

3rdSpace is already working on their next project and has specified Osmo’s Polyx-Oil Clear finish for all internal joinery, while it’s UV-Protection-Oil will be used externally.
