Medeksa Steel
Burnt spruce
It is a cool, medium-dark gray with a subtle metallic sheen reminiscent of steel reflections. Medeksa Steel is a neutral yet expressive color that highlights the wood grain while giving the surface a slightly industrial feel, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use.

Finishing
Coated twice with water-based wood oil, color: Medeksa Steel
The wood-graining process subtly highlights the natural texture of the wood, but in dark shades, such as Medeksa Steel, it is expressed more subtly. At the same time, such surfaces typically require less frequent maintenance compared to light, double-brushed colors (e.g., Medeksa Sand).
Due to lighting conditions during photography and display settings, the shade shown in the photos may differ from the actual product.
This document presents standard charred wood profiles and their key dimensions - thickness, width, coverage width, and available lengths. If you require non-standard dimensions or profiles, please get in touch.
Care outdoors
- Clean periodically with a damp, soft brush or cloth, or rinse with water without pressure.
- Avoid pressure washing and aggressive chemical cleaners – they can damage the surface.
- To keep the original colour, re-oil with the same oil used in production: decking every 1-3 years, facades every 5-7 years.
Gradual colour change over time is a natural process, not a defect.
Care indoors
- Wipe the surface periodically with a dry or slightly damp brush or cloth
- We recommend avoiding harsh cleaning agents
- Due to minimal environmental impact, colour change is minimal – re-oil only if you wish to refresh the lookthe exact frequency is highly individual
