IMPROVED UV PROTECTION

Our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of your wooden furniture has led us to improve our beeswax polish formula by incorporating a UV absorber. This addition has been scientifically proven to significantly lessen the harmful effects of UV radiation from direct sunlight on wooden surfaces.

By integrating a UV absorber into our trusted beeswax polish formula, we provide additional protection that absorbs even more of the harmful UV rays before they can damage the wood or its finish. This advanced protection is especially crucial for pieces exposed to direct sunlight, helping to greatly reduce discolouration and extend the life of your furniture.

While it does not block all UV rays entirely, it acts as a crucial additional barrier, extending the life of your furniture and keeping its colour and finish vibrant.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Environmental preservation is very important to us and we make every effort to ensure our products have a minimal impact on the environment:

  • We are not driven by a corporate cost-reduction ethos. We select our components based on quality and sustainability rather than the cheapest alternatives
  • 100% Plastic-free recyclable packaging
    • 70% Recycled cardboard and paper from FSC-approved mixed sources
    • Packing tape that is paper & cotton based with a water-based gum adhesive which can be recycled along with the cardboard boxes
    • No polypropylene-based tape. We use biodegradable raffia twine.
  • No petrochemical solvents, we use only pure pine gum spirits of turpentine
  • Reusable Le Parfait jars with a Return & Refill discount scheme
  • Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume

Fantastic quality wax polish.

Brilliant and helpful owner. Just rewaxed my C17th coffer today after cutting back the old wax and what an amazing polish. It is an absolute joy to use and it leaves a finish like glass. Can very highly recommend this company and its products. Watch the instructional videos on YouTube too!

Excellent products and advice

I had superb advice from Simon Gilboy re renovating my late mother’s bureau. He gave me the confidence to get stuck in and not to worry. The result is just amazing - it looks like a nice antique piece of furniture now. Loved the wax and the little repair cubes were excellent at filling wood worn holes. I recommend Gilboy’s products and will be returning there myself when I run out.
What’s next! ….. old oak doors… stair spindles …..

Great quality product and useful online videos

Have just used this lovely wax to restore an old water-marked chest and it has come up beautifully. The online videos for the use of the oxalic acid and the wax were really helpful. Thanks!

I am restoring an oak fender that my Grandfather made for his own home in circa 1890. When I took possession of it, it was showing it's age and had not been cared for a while.
I have been using Gilboys Golden wax polish on it and it now looks superb. I have started working my way through every piece of my Grandfather's carving in my possession!!

NONE BETTER!

I have been refinishing furniture as a hobby for about 20 years and Gilboy’s products have made an enormous difference in the finished product!! I only use Gilboys waxes and hard wax oil on all my products and people are absolutely amazed at the finished product!

Amazing!

I have a small mahogany desk upstairs that, without my realizing it, was getting baked by the afternoon sun. It had a white, hazy film on it that I had tried to repair to no avail. The dark wax made a tremendous difference so that I no longer am thinking that I should paint the desk. Thank you so, so much!
