Enhances appearance gives timber a fresh, renewed appearance. Depending on the shade, adds warmth.
Quicker project completion due to faster drying and fewer coats needed.
Environmentally better choice compared with solvent-based coatings due to low VOC.
Ensure substrate (wood) is clean, dry, and free from any loose material or old coatings that might interfere. Cleaning beforehand (e.g., power wash / deep clean) is recommended.
Apply in appropriate weather conditions (avoid rain, very high humidity, or extremely low temperatures) to ensure good drying/curing.
If more than one coat, allow sufficient drying time between coats (as per manufacturers guidelines).
Maintenance: periodic cleaning to remove dirt and mildew; reapply when wear shows or protection fades.
