During the past decade these exotic woods have become increasingly popular due to their beauty and natural resistant to the elements.

Hardwood Deck Stains offer protection and beautifies exterior wood decks and other wood projects. For dense exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Mahogany, Brazilian Redwood, Massaranduba, Meranti, Pau Lupe, and Teak, Exotic Hardwood Deck Stains allow you to protect and beautify your exotic wood while maintaining a natural appearance. These Exotic Wood Stains will enhance the natural color-tones of the wood but not the texture, and will not obscure the natural wood grain. The UV Absorbers prolong the wood from turning gray. Typically a high quality Hardwood Stain will last about 9-18 months on your vertical wood and slightly less on your horizontal wood. When applying a Hardwood Stain, it is recommended to use a method called "wiping". Apply the stain using a brush, stain pad, rag, or roller then after a short period of time (usually 10-20 minutes) you would need to "wipe" off the excess. Since exotic woods are extremely dense, this process will make sure that you are removing the excess stain that cannot soak into the wood. This will help with premature stain failure, providing the longest possible life! Preparation of you Exotic Hardwood is also very important. If needed remove your previous coating with a Deck Stripper or if you are applying a maintenance coat, you can use a Deck Cleaner. By properly prepping and staining your Exotic Hardwood you will achieve maximum results while restoring the natural beauty! |
