At Protek all of our products can be used for outdoor wood paint projects and they are basically separated into two categories.
1. Wood Preserver to preserve and protect timber against rot and fungi
2. Wood Stains that colour and create a waterproof coating to protect against the elements
We do not include preservative chemicals in all of our products as a lot of timber comes pre-treated.
By separating out the preservative process it means we are not using chemicals unnecessarily thus giving the environment another helping hand.
Which Wood Stain to Use and Why?
Wood Preserver should be used for preserving timber and the only product we recommend for decking is Decking Stain.
