EXTERIOR STAINING PRODUCTS

Exterior staining products are amazing to use to preserve wood longevity. Wood is a beautiful and durable building product that is often used for back decks, patios, and fences. Despite its durability, wood needs protection from the elements. It can be prone to rot, mold, and mildew if exposed to moisture. The sun’s U.V. rays can also be damaging to your wood fence or deck. It can dry out the wood, fade its color, and cause it to crack and splinter. You should stain your wood every 2-3 years to keep it protected from such damage. We carry all the exterior stains that you need to keep your wood protected.

There are multiple types of exterior staining products for you to choose from for your wood decking or fencing. Each one has its unique properties and benefits. Below, we will break down the characteristics of each:

• Water-Based: Water-based stains are easy to apply and best suited for fences. They come in a variety of colors and are more environmentally friendly than other options. Water-based stains also dry more quickly in lower temperatures and are recommended for woods such as cedar, cypress, and redwood.
• Oil-Based: These staining products are meant to penetrate the wood and highlight the appearance of the wood. They are also more water resistant than the alternatives, which makes them well-suited for wood that is regularly exposed to moisture such as decks.
• Hybrid: Hybrid stains are blends of alkyd and acrylic stains. They adhere nicely to wood and are water-repellent. They are also easy to apply like acrylic and highlight wood grain well like alkyd.
