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
