Aussie Clear® & Aussie Clear Light | Premium Exterior Timber Finishes
The professional-grade, non-peeling penetrating oil designed specifically for the extreme Australian climate.
Aussie Clear is a premium, Australian Made, non-film-forming exterior timber finish that utilizes transparent iron oxide pigments to provide maximum UV protection. Unlike standard varnishes or film-forming stains, this oil penetrates deep into the wood grain to prevent silvering, warping, and rot without ever cracking or peeling. Available in two formulations to perfectly match your specific timber species.
Choosing the correct variant ensures you enhance the natural beauty of your wood without over-darkening.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Aussie Clear protect against UV damage?
Aussie Clear uses transparent iron oxide pigments to block UV rays while maintaining the timber’s natural grain. This prevents the “silvering” and surface checking caused by the harsh Australian sun. - Does Aussie Clear peel or flake over time?
No. As a non-film-forming penetrating oil, Aussie Clear stays inside the wood fibres. It cannot crack or peel because there is no plastic film on the surface to fail. - Can I use Aussie Clear Light on dark timber?
You can, but it is not recommended for maximum longevity. Darker timbers like Merbau benefit from the higher pigment density in the Original Aussie Clear to maintain their rich colour. - Is it safe for use around swimming pools?
Yes. Both Aussie Clear and Aussie Clear Light are highly water-repellent and chemically stable, making them ideal for pool decks and coastal boardwalks.
