Here at \n\nWood Finishes Direct<\/a>, we deal with many of the best known wood finishing brands, as well as many of the equally good yet lesser known brands.<\/p>\n

Most of us are familiar with the names and logos of many popular high street products.

Today, we’re taking a look at AkzoNobel, a giant in the paint and coatings industry.<\/p>\n

Customer review – Cuprinol Garden Shades<\/em><\/h4>\n

Fabulous Popping Colour to Brighten the Garden<\/b>
\n“This product was chosen because of it’s bright and popping colour plus the benefits that the shades product gives when painting a garden fence. The product covers the wood well but does need a second coat to really cover the fencing adequately. The wood soaks the product up, seeming to draw it into the wood which we think will help protect and extend the life of the fence. The first panel we put up late last year is as bright as the latest ones so the colour appears to be lasting well. Makes a great backdrop for the planting.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus<\/h3>\n

Customer review – Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus<\/em><\/h4>\n

Excellent quality top coat paint<\/b>
\n“I used this as a top coat to the sikkens Cetol HLS Plus. It\u2019s got the texture of treacle, goes on thick and give a really lovely gloss finish. I nearly didn\u2019t buy it because of the price but I\u2019m so glad I did as my cabin looks amazing and so well protected, the rain bubbles and runs completely off it. I used the colour teak which has a real quality looking finish as I didn\u2019t want it to look orange. It\u2019s now a beautiful dark teak.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Customer review – Dulux Ultimate Woodstain<\/em><\/h4>\n

This is a brilliant Woodstain produced by Dulux. Brilliant gloss finish, on my wooden windows.<\/b><\/p>\n

“This is a great product produced by Dulux, it was competitively priced and looks great. One side of our house gets the sun all day, the other half gets none. Will have to see how the stain stands up to the two extremes.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
