To protect deck railings and porch victorian trims we choose a high performance translucent satin finish stain. 

We bought the Sikkens Cetol  Log & Siding for exterior vertical wood surfaces. This formulation offers optimum protection and a premium look in just two coats. The satin finish creates a protective film that provides a durable surface barrier to
minimize weathering.


This Wood Finish has a furniture-like finish, allowing all the natural characteristics and grain of the wood to show through.


Deck stain color: Cedar
Sikkens product code: SIK42077


Two-Coat application needed.
