Overview

Protek Royal Exterior Wood Stain is a high quality, decorative wood stain finish. The colours in the extensive Royal range are classic, contemporary and fit perfectly with modern design.

Its unique formulation is a water-based acrylic and alkyd hybrid that incorporates a polyurethane dispersion based on linseed oil. It is ideal for use on exterior wooden windows, doors, conservatories, summerhouses, gates, cladding and garden furniture.

Preparation

Ensure that wood to be stained is clean, dry and free from traces of dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

  • Exterior wood should be thoroughly cleaned with warm water, detergent and a stiff brush
  • Previous treatments including paints and varnishes should be fully removed
  • Treat areas affected by mould, mildew or algae with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
  • Allow the timber to dry fully
  • If applying to bare timber, a knotting agent or stain blocking primer should be applied prior to application to prevent any possible resin bleed staining the coating
  • If the timber hasn't already been preserved, a suitable, wax-free wood preservative is recommended

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

  1. Mix thoroughly before and periodically during use
  2. Apply with a good quality synthetic bristle brush, microfibre roller or low pressure spray gun
  3. It is recommended that 2 coats be applied, with a 3rd coat if a deeper colour is required
  4. Allow 2-4 hours drying time between coats
  5. Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C or if wet weather is expected within 48 hours
  6. Do not apply to wet, damp or frozen timber

Please Note: Protek Royal Exterior Stain is a high build formulation so each extra coat increases the colour and sheen. A lighter stain effect can be produced by applying a single coat of a colour with Royal Exterior Clear on top. This also gives a harder surface finish, providing the fullest level of protection.

Aftercare

Maintain every 2 - 5 years or as required by cleaning the surface of the wood and following the preparation and application instructions above.

The exact colour

Look, the wood finish that I bought is not cheap, but it is the best that I have used for some time. It matches the colour required perfectly. Application is good and dries well. I will definitely order again when required.

Covers well looks good

Bought this after most helpful telephone call advice. Treatment needed for used, already varnished garden furniture. After a light sanding the varnish covered the wood to a nice brown finish. Easy to apply, dries quickly and hopefully will give the set of got chairs a new lease of life this summer.

Excellent product

Good quality and easy to use. This Matt lacquer has finished my garage doors beautifully. It looks great and enhances the base colour as well as offering good protection against the weather

High Quality Paint

When I first used this paint I was impressed with the ease of application and covering ability of the paint. It has proved to be reasonably durable on our fences. I needed a top up to finish the job and was glad that 1 litre pots were available from you.

Seems to be good. Very handy that you clean equipment with water. I wasn’t expecting the thick consistency of the product but I would buy again

Previous satisfied user. Originally supplied with my shed.

I was surprised at how quickly this item arrived. It is the product that I have applied to my shed previously, lovely colour and long lasting. But now is the time to apply another coat to keep my shed protected and weather proof.

Easy to apply and good quality.

We have used Protek before on our beehives, and this clear Protek is for our oak garden benches. Realy good quality.

5 litre tin x2 two coats on a 8 x12ft shed and a similar sized summer house

Good product. Easy to apply with a synthetic 4in brush. The colour kept the natural look of the wood and seems to afford decent protection. I will use it again.

Used for front door. Not as deep a colour as I was expecting but have only applied first coat so ……… Otherwise seems to be a good product.

Brilliant !

I foolishly used my Karcher on my bird table & almost took off all the wood stain! So I purchased this on recommendation from Riverside Woodcraft & so glad I did as it now looks brand new. Easy to use too.

Mr C Biddlecombe
Long lasting finish.

This product was recommended to me when I purchased a Summerhouse. Intially needind two coats, I didn't need to recoat for 2years for next coat and a further 2years for last recoating. Purchased new tin to recoat this year after a further two years. This product has been ideal.

Got it covered

3 years ago I coated my wife's Art studio in our rear garden,( basically an elaborate sun house.) I have recently re coated it again using Protek Royal Exterior Stain in Walnut. I could have easily left it another year it has coped that well with the weather and climate. Fantastic product Highly recommended.

Beautiful finish on new wood.

Using this product to treat the outside of beehives. More of a paint than a preservative, i.e. builds up on the surface rather than soaking in. Gives a very satisfying finish after 2/3 coats. Will be interesting to see how it fairs over time, i.e. will there be any chipping / flaking / cracking?

G
GLYNIS MCQUEEN
Really good quality product to help protect exterior wood, easy to apply.

Used on large shed and wooden garden furniture. Brought out natural colour of wood really well. Obviously a good quality product - applied several coats with ease. Would recommend over usual products you can buy in larger DIY stores.

Ian Scott Scott
Beautiful Quality Product

This product was worth every penny. So easy to work with and clean up because it is water based but once dry it is just as water repellent as oil based alternatives. The finish is beautiful and it has really enhanced my dutch barn shed.

Very easy to apply, great coverage.

I am very pleased with the outcomes, used it extensively on outside walls over new and aged/dry wood. It is specially easy to apply and coverage seems excellent, 2-3 coats for ~ 72 square meters required 5 L.

Mr Guy Hickman
Fantastic

Really long lasting - I've used it before on another Log Cabin . Looking good after 5 years :)

Used previously and pleased with the result.

Recommended by Woodfinishes Direct initially and continue to use it.

Good weather-proofer

Brushes on well. Easily cleaned off brushes with warm, soapy water. Seems to provide good protection from yearly treatment.

Easy to apply

When you open the tin the colour is a watery looking white. However once applied the product is clear and most importantly barely changes the colour of the wood. I used 3 coats on a door and it looks great.

Excellent . Log cabin looks great.

Treated in August 2019. Looks like new still. Love the look of this Royal Protek. It has a transparent quality which lets the wood texture shine through. Hopefully it will last.

Good coverage easy to use.

Bought to use on a beach hut, Woods recommended 3 coats for maximum protection. Very easy to apply and gave a lovely finish. Would definitely use this product again and have recommended it to other beach hut owners. As it’s a north facing hut time will tell how durable the finish is.
