Best boat varnish: 7 top options for gleaming woodwork

Different varnishes do different jobs. Understanding their properties will help you decide what's the best boat varnish for your woodwork. Drew Maglio explains all...

best-boat-varnish-81hp8vGUltL._AC_SL1500_

Few things are as quintessential to the archetypal sailboat as gleaming, iridescent woodwork that is indicative of a recent coat with one of the best boat varnish products on the market.

Choosing a product and methodology to apply marine varnish to achieve such results is not as simple as it would seem at first glance however, and this guide aims to make the whole process easier for novice and seasoned boat-owners alike.

First things first, what exactly is boat varnish? Put simply, varnish is a chemical solution of three parts which includes a penetrating oil, resin, and solvent.

Boat varnish for exterior use, aka. “spar varnish” — aptly named because it was designed and envisioned as a flexible protective coating to protect a yacht’s wooden spar in the harsh (outdoor) marine environment — both protects and beautifies a vessel’s wood parts.

It does so by sealing the wood with a somewhat hard, yet flexible, clear protective barrier that can last up to three years of UV and element exposure in temperate climates for the most durable two-part product formulations.

These days, most high-end boat varnishes use tung oil and an alkyld or polyurethane resin. Of the two types of resin, polyurethane — either one or two part — is going to be much more durable and resistant to UV, abrasion, fuel/solvent spills, and impacts.

While a two-part product cannot be applied over a one-part product, a two-part product is going to last much longer and be far more durable. Hence for high traffic areas like cabin soles, a two-part polyurethane product cannot be beat for longevity and durability.

Boaters should be aware that the most onerous task of applying boat varnish is the surface prep, which requires removing all flaking previous coatings by sanding, washing with solvent to degrease the surface, in addition to taping nearby areas to keep the varnish off.

Because of that, I highly recommend using quality products over cheaper, lower cost options which will mean your boat needs revarnishing far more often.

International Perfection Plus two-part varnish

Best polyurethane boat varnish

sadolin yacht varnish reviews

International Perfection Plus is a well-known two-pot polyurethane

International Perfection Plus (sold in the US under the Interlux brnad) is arguably the best overall marine spar varnish on the market. This two-part polyurethane formulation is not only the most aesthetically spectacular, but also the most durable and longest lasting when exposed to UV.

This two-part product is applied to bare wood after careful sanding and degreasing and can be rolled/brushed or sprayed. It uses a proprietary Interlux thinner and one’s results will be excellent if one follows the recommended procedures to the “t.”

Of all the boat varnish products on this list, this two-part product is probably the least DIY-friendly.

Reasons to buy

• Most durable marine varnish in terms of hardness and flexibility • Best UV resistance • Most beautiful (glossy) varnish if applied properly • Hardness and longevity makes it a prime contender to redo cabin soles and floor boards (after proper surface prep)

Reasons to avoid

• Difficult application for inexperienced laymen • Expensive

Epifanes clear varnish.

best-boat-varnish-P004_128_001_002_1500

Epifanes Clear Varnish includes tung oil and alkyd

Epifanes offers quality marine paints and varnishes at reasonable prices and their Clear High Gloss Varnish is no exception. With 64% solids content (tung oil) and an alkyd base, this varnish is sure to be brilliant in terms of gloss with reasonable durability and longevity.

With one-part alkyd products, boat owners can expect up to two years of protection before maintenance is required if left out in the elements year-round. This product can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed.

• Affordable, quality one-part product • High solids content results in very glossy finish • Relatively easy to apply and achieve satisfactory results

• Not as much UV protection as other offerings • Not as impact or abrasion-resistant as other offerings

International Schooner Premish Varnish

A traditional marine spar varnish — albeit a good one — is Interlux’s Schooner Varnish.

With an alkyd base, 47% of tung oil solids, and UV inhibitors to boot, this product is a well-balanced one-part product that is suitable for a variety of uses. This product can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed.

• Affordable, quality one-part product • Well-balanced product in terms of UV protection and solids content • Relatively easy to apply and achieve satisfactory results

• More expensive than Epifanes • Not as impact or abrasion-resistant as some other offerings • Not as much UV protection as some other offerings

Total Boat Lust High Gloss Marine Varnish

Best value boat varnish

In recent years, Total Boat has become very popular offering products comparable—and sometimes superior—to the “big three” of Interlux, Petit, and Epifanes, at a fraction of the cost and their “Lust High Gloss Marine Varnish” is no exception. This one-part formulation uses linseed oil and a modified polyurethane base.

• Very affordable one-part proper “marine” varnish • Does not require sanding • Comes in matte for those seeking a satin finish • One-hour re-coat time

• Tends to cure quicker than most varnishes and therefore can cure before properly “flowing out” • Requires 6-8 coats

sikkens cetol marine

Cetol Marine Wood Finish

Best boat varnish for external teak

Cetol has been making alternative wood finishes for a long time. While this product does not have the aesthetic beauty of freshly applied gleaming varnish, it lasts far longer and stands up to UV better than every one-part varnish on this list.

When I had peeling varnish on my 1987 Ericson 38-200 sailboat moored in the tropical Florida Keys, I elected to use Cetol’s “Natural Teak” offering in lieu of varnish and found it incredibly easy to apply and long-lasting, requiring no surface prep to speak up but a quick hand sand and power wash. For outside teak, Cetol cannot be beat.

• Incredibly easy to achieve satisfactory results • Affordable • Long-lasting even when exposed to UV

• Not as beautiful as real varnish • Softer and less durable to impact/abrasion compared to most varnishes, especially polyurethane formulations

miniwax helmsman spar urethane

Miniwax Helmsman Spar Urethane

The last product featured on our list is Miniwax’s one-part polyurethane spar varnish. While not the most beautiful finish available, this product is durable (hard and abrasion-resistant), easy to use, and very affordable, making it a good choice for touching up one-part varnishes inside a boat’s cabin.

For repairing, touching up, or even redoing cabin soles, this would also be a decent budget option and therefore is included on this list. Unlike the many UV-resistant offerings on this list, Miniwax Helmsman is not very UV-resistant and therefore is not recommended outdoors.

• Very affordable, even for a gallon • One-part polyurethane enhances durability and longevity over alkyd-based products • Good for sailors on a budget needing to repair and touch up existing interior varnish

• Not as beautiful as alkyd-based marine spar varnished • Not very UV-resistant • Yellows in sunlight

Hempel Dura Gloss

Best solvent-based boat varnish

Hempel Dura Gloss

Hempel Dura Gloss Varnish is a urethane modified alkyd, ideal for interior use

Hempel’s Dura Gloss Varnish is a urethane modified alkyd, ideal for interior use

On the downside, alkyd varnishes lack resistance to abrasion and usually only one coat can be applied per day, which can make varnishing a drawn out process.

The more expensive types are formulated to speed up cure times, improve gloss retention and generally last longer.

Which type of boat varnish to choose?

Varnishing often appears to be a simple task, but there’s a bewildering choice of boat varnishes on the market, writes Rupert Holmes.

An understanding of the qualities of different types of varnish is needed to choose the optimum one for each purpose. This is particularly true for exterior woodwork which has to withstand the ravages of sun, rain and frost.

There are only a few basic types of varnish, although in many cases hybrid products are available, particularly alkyd/ tung oil and alkyd/modified urethanes that can offer a wider range of desirable properties.

Polyurethane boat varnish

Polyurethane varnishes are a harder option with good wear resistance, but they lack the flexibility of alkyds. In addition, they tend to sit more on the surface of the timber, so often do not adhere as well to the substrate, which can make them prone to flaking and chipping.

The lack of flexibility makes a pure polyurethane unsuitable for traditionally planked boats, but it can be ideal for plywood , as well as for cold moulded and strip planked hulls.

Polyurethanes are available as both one-pot and two-pot products, the latter giving a harder coating and faster cure, which allows multiple coats to be applied in one day.

If you need to save the varnish overnight, take a look at this top tip on preserving two-part varnish in the fridge. However, they are a much more expensive option.

N.B. One-pot polyurethane can be applied over two-pot varnish but not the other way round.

Ultra-flexible single-pot polyurethanes, such as Coelan have an elasticity of more than 300%. It can also seal cracks, is highly resistant to impact damage and doesn’t need overcoating for several years and can last twice as long as traditional varnishes.

The biggest downside is that it’s four or five times more expensive than typical basic alkyd varnishes, so up-front costs are higher, although its long term performance means the total cost difference will be smaller.

sadolin yacht varnish reviews

Many boat varnish products can be painted, sprayed or rolled

Tung oil varnish

Tung oil is also frequently used in traditional varnishes: it soaks in well and, although a pure tung oil product will usually cure very slowly, the final finish is very tough.

Solvent-based varnish

Traditional solvent-based one-pot alkyd varnishes are ideal for use with traditionally built wooden boats. The coating is soft but flexible, which makes it resistant to cracking when used on timber that expands when wet and contracts in dry summer weather. Additionally, the initial coats tend to soak into the timber effectively.

Epoxy resin

Epoxy resin can also be used to coat timber, but generally has poor resistance to ultra-violet light, so a varnish needs to be applied over the top. Beware inexpensive ‘yacht’ varnish sold in DIY stores – the low prices are usually easy to explain in terms of extended drying times or poor long-term performance when used outside.

Dealing with surface damage? Don’t delay!

Whatever type of varnish is used, don’t delay on sealing any areas of damage. The key priority is to keep water out, so don’t wait until you have time and suitable weather for a full repair – touch in the damaged area immediately.

This may not have a silky smooth finish initially, but don’t worry. Even if it’s a few weeks before you’re able to do a proper fix you know there won’t be any further degradation.

Top boat varnish tip

A useful tip is to clean out one of the small match pots DIY stores sell to enable customers to test household colour schemes and fill it with varnish. They have a brush built into the lid, which never needs to be cleaned, thus making a quick touch up of damage a task that only takes a couple of minutes.

Varnishing your yacht is an essential part of its care and maintenance. The benefits are twofold: yacht varnish protects your boat from the elements, while also giving it a beautiful shiny finish. But with so many different yacht and marine varnishes to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one is best for your boat.

In this article, we’ll run through some of the most popular types of yacht varnish on the market to help you choose the right option.

What is Yacht Varnish?

Yacht varnish is an extremely durable solvent-based coating that is designed to protect the wood that yachts are made of and stop it decaying over time. Most varnishes are made up of a penetrating oil, resin and solvent. Although most yacht varnish is applied with a brush, it is possible to buy yacht varnish spray.

Different Types of Yacht Varnish Finish

There are many different types of finish to choose from, so you’ll need to know a little about them to decide which is the best yacht varnish for you.

Yacht Varnish Brands

There are various brands that produce yacht varnish. Here are a couple of the most popular:

Screwfix Yacht Varnish

Screwfix is a retailer in the UK that sells a variety of products, including hardware and building supplies. They may carry different brands and types of yacht varnish. Yacht varnish provides resistance to water, UV rays, and other environmental elements. Yacht varnishes often contain additives to enhance their durability and performance in marine conditions.

Ronseal Yacht Varnish

A durable, long-lasting marine varnish for wood that flexes with the movement of the wood and resists peeling and cracking. This varnish is slightly more pricey than the Screwfix varnish, but gets great reviews. You can buy the Ronseal brand of yacht varnish in B&Q and other retailers.

How to Varnish Your Yacht

Varnishing a yacht is fairly straightforward, if a little time-consuming. First you’ll need to carefully sand down the entire surface that you want to varnish to get it looking smooth. Then use a soft brush to wipe off any excess dust and debris, since you don’t want it getting trapped in the varnish.

Finally, use a paintbrush to coat the yacht with varnish. Leave it to dry for the recommended amount of time on the tin, then apply additional coats as required. Always check the instructions of your varnish type, and if unsure consult with an expert before starting.

Yacht varnish is solvent-based and contains toxic chemicals, which means it should not be used for varnishing animal enclosures (for example, rabbit hutches or reptile enclosures).

  • What is yacht varnish used for? Yacht varnish is used for sealing and protecting wood on boats and yachts. It is also commonly used for outdoor items such as wooden doors, window frames or pergolas.
  • What type of varnish is yacht varnish? Yacht varnish is a solvent-based outdoor varnish that is extremely durable. It is usually made up of tung oil and polyurethane resin. 
  • What is the best varnish to use on a boat? The type of varnish that is best for your boat will depend on the type of wood your boat is made from and the finish you are looking for. Tung oil varnish is a safe bet for most boats, or you may prefer to use a one-part polyurethane varnish for added durability.
  • What is the difference between yacht varnish and outdoor varnish? In general, yacht varnish dries quicker and is designed for marine conditions, so it’s likely to be more durable than outdoor varnish. However, yacht varnish is unlikely to have an anti-slip formulation, making it unsuitable for decking around the home.

Sadolin Yacht Varnish is a highly durable, clear wood varnish, ideal for use on exterior windows, doors and conservatories. Can be used on new wood and as an on-going maintenance product. Highly waterproof with UV inhibitors to slow down the Sun's natural greying of wood.

Please Note: This product is not suitable for constant immersion in water or for use on decking. For decking, we recommend Sadolin Decking Oil or Sadolin Wet Wood Decking Stain

  • For an alternative clear exterior wood varnish with Matt and Satin options, try Sadolin Outdoor Varnish

Preparation

Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared, clean, sound and dry. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating.

Bare or New Timber

  • Resinous deposits should be removed with a scraper
  • Degrease any exposed bare timber by wiping with a lint-free cloth dampened with methylated spirits
  • Timber exposed to weather for 4 weeks or longer, or any loose, grey or de-natured timber, must be thoroughly sanded back to a clean, sound surface
  • Some tropical hardwoods such as Iroko, Idigbo and Teak should be scrubbed with cellulose thinners prior to application
  • Organic growths must be removed and infected surfaces should be treated with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
  • Remaining sound surfaces should be cleaned using warm water and a mild detergent, then rinsed thoroughly with clean water
  • Fillers specifically designed for use with timber such as Sadolin Wood Filler and Sadolin Stainable Wood Filler should be used for making good any minor surface defects, imperfections and open joints
  • Only use non-ferrous screws, nails and fixings
  • Any non-preservative-treated softwood timber should be treated with two liberal coats of Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver , paying particular attention to end grains and allowing 24 hours drying time between coats, prior to over-coating with Sadolin Yacht Varnish

Previously Coated Timber

  • Any previous paint coating and all defective coatings should be completely removed and sanded back to clean, bright timber, then treat as 'New Timber'
  • Take special precautions during the surface preparation of pre-1960s painted surfaces as they may contain harmful lead
  • The backs of new glazing beads, end grains and rebates should be brought to a finish in full with Sadolin Yacht Varnish prior to fixing
  • Joinery to be coated with Sadolin woodstain systems should be glazed using a suitable sealant
  • The use of linseed oil putty or modified, non-setting compounds are not recommended in conjunction with our Sadolin systems
  • To confirm compatibility, please consult the manufacturer of the relevant glazing material
  • Silicone glazing materials should only be applied upon completion of the finishing coats

Application

Always do a small test area before beginning any project to assess the consistency and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not apply if there is a risk of rain, or when air / substrate temperatures are below 8° or above 25°, or if the relative humidity is above 80% during application or drying periods. Protect from frost and rain until dry. Failure to meet these requirements may adversely affect the drying, visual quality and durability of the finish.

Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application, otherwise sheen variations may be experienced. Sadolin Yacht Varnish is supplied ready for use. Do not thin.

  • Apply in a full flowing coat, ensuring all surfaces and end grains are fully coated
  • For best results use a good quality, long-haired, soft bristle brush
  • Pay special attention to end grain, tops and bottoms of doors, and undersides of sills
  • Finish with 2 or 3 full coats of Yacht Varnish, dependent on your requirements, allowing a 16-24 hours drying time between coats

Please Note: Sadolin Yacht Varnish can be used in conjunction with one or more base stain coats of Sadolin Classic Wood Protection , where a stain colour is desired, followed with 2 full coats of Sadolin Yacht Varnish. The base coat should be applied liberally in order to satisfy the natural absorption / porosity of the timber surface.

Cleaning Equipment

Clean brushes and equipment with a proprietary brush cleaner immediately after use. If spilled, the varnish should be removed immediately while still wet, using clean white spirit.

Maintenance

The need for maintenance is indicated by a reduction in sheen as the coating erodes, and a loss of water repellent qualities.

  • All defective coatings should be completely removed
  • Any grey denatured exposed timber surfaces must be thoroughly sanded back to clean, bright timber
  • Organic growths must be removed and infected surfaces should be treated with a suitable fungicidal solution
  • Bare and previously wood stained timber should be patch primed with 1 or more coats of Sadolin Classic in the appropriate shade to match the existing colour where appropriate
  • On weathered / eroded surfaces apply an extra coat of Sadolin Yacht Varnish overall and allow to dry
  • Finish with 2 or 3 coats as required

What's not to like? After much price comparison, Wood Finishes Direct were the cheapest price I could find anywhere. Delivery was in just a few days and very securely and safely packed. Especially on a paint like Sadolin on which the big warehouses very rarely have any deals, I have no hesitation in recommending!

Haven't opened this tin yet, but have used this product before on my narrowboat external woodwork, and it is very good stuff. I use 3 coats, and it looks good for at least 2 years out in all weathers.

sadolin yacht varnish reviews

Sadolin Yacht Varnish is solvent based which means it isn't classed as lo VOC. Low VOC products tend to be water based instead. We would recommend a Quick Drying Satin Woodstain instead for the vegetable bed. 

We recommend using Sadolin Beautiflex under Sadolin Yacht Varnish to add opaque colour.

Sadolin Yacht Varnish – Traditional Clear Varnish with a High Gloss Finish for Exterior Wood Joinery

Sadolin Yacht Varnish is a traditional clear varnish for giving a durable, high gloss finish to exterior wood and timber. Specially formulated to enhance the natural beauty of wooden doors, window frames and conservatories, this solvent-based, waterproof varnish protects exterior wood from harmful UV rays, providing a long-lasting finish that resists peeling and flaking.

Protective Wood Treatment for Exterior Doors, Windows, and Conservatories Changing temperatures - along with the effects of rain, moisture, and UV rays - mean that exterior wood and timber surfaces around the home are constantly subjected to different weather conditions, which can in time cause flaking, peeling and damage.

Suitable for application to both new wood and previously coated wooden doors, window frames and conservatories, Sadolin Yacht Varnish has an advanced weatherproof formulation that forms a high-build barrier to protect against damaging UV rays. This clear wood varnish is also ideal for use as an ongoing maintenance product, extending the life of exterior wood surfaces.

Note: Sadolin Yacht Varnish is not suitable for constant immersion in water and not recommended for use on fascias.

PREPARATION:

We recommend a trial application before you start. The final colour will depend on the original colour and condition of the wood and the number of coats applied.

NEW OR BARE WOOD: Timber exposed to the weather for 4 weeks or more should be sanded back to a clean sound surface. Wipe down bare timber with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits. Do not use white spirit. If using a non-durable timber treat with Sadolin Wood Preserver first. PREVIOUSLY PAINTED OR VARNISHED SURFACES: Strip bare and treat as new wood. PREVIOUSLY WOODSTAINED SURFACES: Any loose, flaking coating should be removed by use of a scraper or abrasive paper. Any grey denatured timber should be mechanically sanded back to a clean sound surface. Any mould and algal growth must be removed using a suitablefungicide/algicide. Wash surfaces with a mild detergent and rinse with clean water. Allow to fully dry. Wipe all surfaces with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits. As with all coatings, preparation is key and poor preparation will result in poor coating performance.

APPLICATION:

Always intermix packs to ensure colour consistency. Ensure surfaces to be varnished are clean and dry. Stir well before and during application. Do not apply in damp conditions, when rain is imminent, or at temperatures below 8°C or above 25°C. For best results use a good quality synthetic bristle brush. Avoid over brushing as this will result in brush marks. Sand lightly between coats if there is any raised grain. New work requires a three coat application. Maintenance may require two or three coats depending on the amount of weathering that has occurred.

Sadolin Yacht Varnish is a highly durable, clear wood varnish designed for exterior use on windows, doors, and conservatories. With its waterproof properties and UV inhibitors, it effectively protects against sun damage, prolonging the natural beauty of wood surfaces. However, it's important to note that this product is not suitable for constant immersion in water or for use on decking. 

For decking applications, we recommend Sadolin Decking Oil or Sadolin Wet Wood Decking Stain.

Preparation

Before application, ensure that timber surfaces are properly prepared, clean, sound, and dry, with a moisture content not exceeding 18%. 

For bare or new timber

  • Remove any resinous deposits using a scraper.
  • Degrease exposed bare timber by wiping with a lint-free cloth dampened with methylated spirits.
  • Weather-exposed timber or any loose, grey, or denatured wood must be sanded back to a clean, sound surface if exposed for 4 weeks or longer.
  • Certain tropical hardwoods such as Iroko, Idigbo, and Teak should be scrubbed with cellulose thinners before application.
  • Eliminate organic growths and treat infected surfaces with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner.
  • Clean remaining sound surfaces using warm water and mild detergent, followed by thorough rinsing with clean water.
  • Utilise fillers designed for timber, such as Sadolin Wood Filler and Sadolin Stainable Wood Filler, to address minor surface defects, imperfections, and open joints.
  • Use non-ferrous screws, nails, and fixings exclusively.
  • Apply two liberal coats of Sadolin Wood Preserver to any non-preservative-treated softwood timber, with particular attention to end grains, allowing 24 hours drying time between coats before over-coating with Sadolin Yacht Varnish.

For previously coated timber

  • Completely remove any previous paint coating and all defective coatings, then sand back to clean, bright timber, treating it as new timber.
  • Take special precautions during the preparation of pre-1960s painted surfaces, as they may contain harmful lead.

For glazing

  • Finish the backs of new glazing beads, end grains, and rebates entirely with Sadolin Yacht Varnish before fixing.
  • Apply suitable sealant to joinery intended for coating with Sadolin wood stain systems.
  • Avoid using linseed oil putty or modified, non-setting compounds in conjunction with Sadolin systems.
  • Confirm compatibility with the manufacturer of the relevant glazing material.
  • Apply silicone glazing materials only after completing the finishing coats.

Application

Before starting any project, it's essential to conduct a small test area to assess the consistency and compatibility of the finish. Always adhere to the manufacturer's instructions on the tin.

Avoid applying the varnish if there's a risk of rain, or when temperatures are below 8° or above 25°, or if the relative humidity exceeds 80% during application or drying periods. Protect the surface from frost and rain until fully dry to prevent adverse effects on drying, visual quality, and durability.

Thoroughly stir the product before and during application to prevent sheen variations. Sadolin Yacht Varnish comes ready for use and should not be thinned.

Apply the varnish in a full, flowing coat, ensuring complete coverage of all surfaces and end grains. For optimal results, utilise a high-quality, long-haired, soft bristle brush. Pay particular attention to end grain, tops and bottoms of doors, and undersides of sills.

Finish with 2 or 3 full coats of Yacht Varnish, depending on your project's requirements, allowing 16-24 hours drying time between coats.

Note: Sadolin Yacht Varnish can be used alongside one or more base stain coats of Sadolin Classic Wood Protection for desired stain colours, followed by 2 full coats of Sadolin Yacht Varnish. Apply the base coat liberally to accommodate the natural absorption/porosity of the timber surface.

Cleaning equipment

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with a proprietary brush cleaner. In case of spills, promptly remove the varnish while still wet using clean white spirit.

It's important to conduct regular maintenance, which is signalled by a reduction in sheen as the coating wears away and a decrease in water repellent qualities.

  • Ensure all defective coatings are completely removed.
  • Thoroughly sand back any grey, denatured exposed timber surfaces to reveal clean, bright timber.
  • Remove any organic growths and treat infected surfaces with a suitable fungicidal solution.
  • Clean remaining sound surfaces with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • For bare and previously wood-stained timber, patch prime with one or more coats of Sadolin Classic in the appropriate shade to match the existing colour, where necessary.
  • On weathered or eroded surfaces, apply an additional coat of Sadolin Yacht Varnish overall and allow it to dry.
  • Finish with 2 or 3 coats as required to ensure optimal protection and longevity.

Best Exterior Woodstain to use on your home - a guide

Dulux Ultimate Exterior Woodstain Review

 sadolin extra durable woodstain review, sikkens woodstain review,  the best water-based woodstain, best exterior wood oil, best tool to apply woodstain, a recent job, what exterior stain lasts the longest, does exterior stain need to be sealed, is it better to paint or stain outside wood, what happens if you stain over stain, how many coats of stain on exterior wood, can sikkens be used outside, can you put too much stain on wood.

Choosing the best exterior woodstain for your home isn’t as easy as it sounds. The answer changes depending on a few variables, including the condition of your wood and the weather conditions when you’re applying the woodstain.

As a Professional Decorator , I have used a wide variety of different exterior woodstains. I’m going to take you through the best options in this blog, and link to a website you can buy them from.

I hope you find it useful.

Dulux ultimate woodstain has by far the best opacity out of any on the list. This product dries faster than the other oil-based alternatives too. Unfortunately, these plus points come with a downside. Dulux Ultimate Woodstain doesn’t level off very well and you can often see brush marks. That isn’t to say it’s not a great product, because it is. There is a time and place when Dulux Ultimate Woodstain comes into its own.

If you aim to restore and recoat previously stained timber work that has taken a battering or has a few chips, then Dulux Ultimate is perfect. As part of your prep you should die any bare wood within the chips on the timber. Then because Dulux Ultimate covers so well, it tends to blend everything in again and make it look solid. Even though this is an oil-based stain, it’s very quick drying, which really helps when you’re working on windows and need to close them later that day.

All you need to do is take care when laying off to avoid those dreaded brush marks. It isn’t very good for large panels such as doors.

the best wood stain

Sadolin Extra Durable is an easy woodstain to write about. Great finish, but very slow drying!! For bare timber you should build up the depth if colour with another product such as Sadolin Classic woodstain. On its own, Sadolin Extra dosn’t have great opacity. This makes it a poor choice for coating old, battered wood.

It is worth mentioning Sadolin has a great reputation for longevity and although I haven’t tested these products side by side, Sadolin Extra is the one I think would outperform the others against the test of time.

This is the woodstain I use on the exterior of my own house because the finish is lovely and I know it will last.

Do not make the mistake of using this product inside. Without good airflow it simply takes way too long to dry. We’re talking days!! The drying times are enough of a problem when using it on the exterior of a property unless you’re using it in winter.

sadolin extra woodstain for use on exterior timber

Good old reliable brand of woodstain, Sikkens is now owned by Akzo Nobel who also own Dulux. Sikkens Filter 7 Plus is the exterior stain you need; however, it has poor opacity so it is best using it to recoat previously stained timber, or to topcoat over Sikkens Centol HLS Plus. So, for bare timber you need to apply two different products.

Although the opacity can be a pain, the overall finish of Sikkens Filter 7 plus is to die for. You will find it slow drying, so it is best to apply the stain on a warm day.

Brush marks level off nicely and you will be left with an even, rich glossy colour over your timber. Honestly, the finish is stunning.

Not surprisingly, this product is available from Dulux Decorating Centres, as well as a wide range of other stockists. I think I’m right in saying they are the market leader in wood stains.

Every brand I have mentioned up to this point comes with a water-based counterpart. These do come with certain benefits; They are quick drying, easy clean up, better for the environment and a lot easier to use. In fact, they fly on (it does look a bit dodgy before the stain is dry).

There are also a few negatives with water-based stains opposed to oil. Adhesion between new and previous coating can, on occasion be poor. Your water-based woodstain may start to flake after a year or so, particularly if the previous coating was oil-based, or your prep wasn’t up to scratch. Even if it does adhere, your finish won’t last as long as an oil-based would.

That being said, it is still a viable option and can look great. Ronseal is probably the best water-based woodstain on the market, but they are all similar.

the best water-based woodstain

I know we’re getting a little bit sidetracked from the topic of the best exterior woodstain for your home, but oil is becoming increasingly popular. The craze started with Osmo Oil in 2010 or 2011 and has grown since.

Now we have different wood oils available and some better than Osmo in my opinion. They all do the same sort of thing; you can’t use them on previously sealed timber, and you will need to apply a maintenance coat every year or two.

On paper, oil is a faff compared to woodstain, but the finish is gorgeous. It sinks into exterior wood, giving it a richness and bringing out its grain. I really do get an amazing sense of satisfaction when I’m using it.

The best exterior wood oil is probably Barrettine Armourflex Ultimate UV Protection Oil. I chose this one just because it’s hydrophobic, so it repels water and better protects exterior wood.

It’s also easy to use, looks fantastic, and remains microporous.

Hopefully I have now provided all the information you need to choose the best exterior woodstain for your home. I thought it might also be useful if I provided information on the best tools for the job.

  • Kana Tank Paintbrush – There is no other brush like the Kana Tank, and it’s designed especially for this purpose. It has a natural bristle core to hold onto thin material like woodstain or varnish, and synthetic bristles around the outside to work the stain as needed – Click here to see online prices.
  • Wire Wool – You’ll find this better than sandpaper when prepping timber in between coats of woodstain – Click here to see online prices.
  • Dust Brush – It’s important to get rid of as much dust as possible when using stain – Click here to see online prices.
  • Tack Cloth – Again, this helps ensure a surface is completely dust free, which means you’ll achieve a better finish – Click here to see online prices.
  • Paint Kettle – We use a new kettle every time we apply woodstain. This ensures we keep the stain free of contaminants – Click here to see online prices.

This isn’t one of my jobs. It was completed by Cal’s Decorating . I wanted to show it because it’s clear that the guys at Cal’s Decorating have a great understanding when it comes to the best woodstain products available.

There is a lot of work that has gone into this. They had to sand everything back with dust-free sanders before they could apply any product at all. All the wood was then vacuumed and then rubbed with a tack cloth to remove dust.

The main areas of wall were coated with two coats of Sikkens Centol HLS Plus to build up the colour, followed by two coats of Sikkens Filter 7 to protect from UV. Four coats rather than two means this property has a better colour, is better protected, and the finish will last longer.

However, the trim (doors, windows etc) were coated four times Dulux Ultimate Woodstain. This is because it’s easier to achieve a more solid colour when using Dulux Ultimate. Sikkens is slightly translucent, so it wouldn’t have had the same level of contrast.

This shows a high level of product expertise on the part of the Decorators. It isn’t enough to just think about using a good quality woodstain. It’s about looking at what you want to achieve and choosing the best woodstain for that task.

woodstain on house

Any good quality wood stain with UV protectors will last a few years outside. Just make sure you use a good TRADE stain, otherwise it won’t last. Wood oil doesn’t seem to last very long outside, so if you go for oil, you would need to apply a maintenance coat every year or so.

The stain seals the wood and prevents it from rotting. Providing you have applied enough coats; it shouldn’t need an additional product to seal the wood.

This is down to personal preference, and what you think will look the best. A painted surface and a stained surface will last roughly the same length of time.

Nothing. Just give it a quick sand off before applying your new stain. If the previous coating is oil-based, then your new stain should be oil-based, otherwise you may have adhesion issues.

Three coats on new timber should offer the depth and protection needed to last outside. If re-staining, then two coats is ample.

Sikkens is one of the best exterior woodstains available. Just make sure you apply a coat of Sikkens Filter 7 as your last coat to protect against UV.

You can’t apply too many coats of woodstain. However, you will experience issues if you apply too much in a single coat. Your stain might peel or run, and the longevity of the product will be diminished.

Sikkens is by far superior if your starting from new and you want to show the grain of the wood as it’s more translucent. The longevity is s also much better. I would only use anything else if the timber is of poor quality and let go to long before redec

Trevor Henson

Yes filter7 on hardwood is the best. been using it since it arrived in U.K. in 5 gallon drums. but Sadolin is the one I use for softwood when timber is weathered.

Terry Roch

Have used Sikkens HLS with Filter 7 as a topcoat. Gives a lovely finish but lifespan only 3 to 4 years.

richard

Johnsones oil and water stains are a nice competitive priced alternative. Used many times and no problems. Better than Dulux for brushmarks definitely. The opaque finish is a copy of sadolin superdec and far better recoat times.

Our carpenter has replaced the sof wood at the front of the exterior of our house and has applied a primer coat of light paint. We are wanting to stain the wood ebony, would we need to strip the wood of the primer before doing so?

I bought an engineered front door from LPD with oak veneer. They expressly say no oils, waxes, water based finishes. I used Sadolin Classic light oak as a base and intended to finish with Sadolin Extra, Natural as I wanted to keep the light oak colour. It turned out awful. Colour was glossy and almost orange. I have had to strip off the Extra and have been advised to use Sikkens Filter 7. Trouble is they only have colours so I’m worried the door will finish up darker than I want. Is there no clear finishes (solvent based)?

Glen Cotney

I’d use osmo UV hard wax oil. Keeps the natural look and comes in different sheens.

The whole range is highly recommended

Stuart king

Hi mate I have an external bar and the bar itself is scaffold boards sanded down , we want a oak type finish thats wipeable , what would you recommend please ?

P. Rawson

Unfortunatetly yet again it seems the object of discussion is crappy external paint which is definitely not a wood stain. When it eventually falls of (as it will after a comparatively short space of time) the wood underneath looks as though it has never had anything on it.

My gripe is that the manufacturers of this crap falsely call it stain rather than paint. Very close examination of the data sheets is required to establish what is genuinely a stain that soaks in like a tea or coffee stain as opposed to a transluscent coating.

Piere

what would you recomend for painting outside decking

shirley prendergast

old pine windows being mended and stripped back- south facing full sun. Dulux Trade Ultimate Opaque /or Sikkens Cetol HLS been suggested- any thought please?

    Sikkens Filter 7 Plus is the exterior stain you need; however, it has poor opacity so it is best using it to recoat previously stained timber, or to topcoat over Sikkens Centol HLS Plus.
