“We really transformed our custom cabinets with the Rubio Monocoat Precolor Easy and Rubio Oil. It was really important to me as a designer to use a eco-friendly product for this cabinet finish and design, but I also wanted a cerused effect. We were able to achieve this by staining the cabinets with Antique Beige PreColor Easy and then Sealing them with Super White Rubio Oil. The cabinets look amazing and so unique. Rubio is a great finish for furniture and cabinets. No concern with wear. One year later and you cannot see any wear marks! These custom cabinets are rift sawn white oak and Rubio made them really shine. It was worth spending so much on this lumber to see the effect the Rubio had on the grain. I would definitely use Rubio again on a furniture or cabinet design!”

“The architects had never worked with Rubio Monocoat Oil before, but the contractor (In Wood We Trust) had. When the architects saw Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C’s extensive colour palette, they were instantly convinced of the product. They also appreciated other features, such as one single coat is sufficient and no overlaps, easy to apply, and colouring the wood without diminishing the natural look and feel.”

Concept store "Le Gendre Idéal"
“We were immediately impressed with the various advantages Rubio Monocoat oil offers. During the design phase, the first plusses were revealed, such as the opportunity to create your own colour and the fact that the natural look of the wood is preserved. During the application of the oil, we saved a lot of time, thanks to the one-coat system. Another advantage was that the oil has a good and pleasant scent. It won't give you a headache. In terms of maintenance, we love Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C! The oil is not only easy to apply but is also easy to maintain.”

“We were testing many oils before we began to use Rubio. For us the most important fact is that the oil is ecological. As we mainly create tables, we sleep better when we know that our clients have permanent contact with natural ingredients.What is more RMC Accelerator guarantees us that table can be used even in hard conditions.”

“The Rubio Monocoat team provided an excellent offering that met our specific needs. We needed a product that would stand the test of time, that was environmentally friendly, and easy for our maintenance team to apply. After some 3 years, we are extremely impressed with the durability and how the colours have continued to bring out the natural look of all our wooden finishes. I would strongly recommend this product to all other resorts, who need long lasting protection, and a cost effective solution against weather, and high traffic from visitors. ”

“"Rubio Monocoat is the reference when it comes to high quality and environmentally friendly wood protection. That is one reason, why Shackpalace chose Rubio Monocoat. We used Rubio Monocoat because it is zero VOC, which is really important to us. But the 0% VOC wasn't the only reason why Shackpalace chose Rubio Monocoat. We also really like the beautiful finish and the fact that the grain and quality of the timber is maintained, where some other waxes tend to hide that grain. We also love the depth that the Charcoal colour, which we used, gives to our space. It is also easy to apply being a one coat system which was very useful for us!'”

“Our favorite aspect of Rubio Monocoat, though, is the way wood floors look and feel after being finished. The wood's natural texture and grain come through, without an artificial or plastic coating. The wood Always looks beautiful and natural, as it should. ”

Curvy Console
“I don't believe that this table would have been the same without RMC. It would have been tough to try and get such a deep black color on the Ash using other products and/or methods. And the look and feel of the wood wouldn't have been the same had I gone with a film finish or basic oil type of product. Working with RMC was a very pleasurable experience. I believe it does take some basic finishing know-how in order to get a great result, but the process was simple and straight forward. And the smell! Not at all foul or offensive smelling… many of my peers said it reminded them of some kind of tea. My favorite thing about RMC is the look and feel of the wood you get when using this product. It does a beautiful job of bringing out the colour and grain. I definitely plan on continuing to use RMC. I look forward to getting the chance to experiment with some of the other colour choices that are available as well. ”

“We chose Rubio Monocoat products because the Smoke effect combined with the White 5% homogenized the color variation between the red and white oak yet kept the floors looking warm and natural.
