Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish in Dove Grey

From the hills of Somerset Protek brings you the Royal range, a high quality decorative wood finish. Inspired by the lush countryside and rich heritage houses nestled within, the colours in the extensive Royal range are classic, contemporary and fit perfectly with modern design. Royal has been specially designed to give a long lasting protective coating with a soft lustre that allows the nature of wood and grain to show through.

Royal Exterior Superior Wood Finish is a high-grade water-repelling timber treatment that contains a mould inhibitor to protect the coating.It is perfect for use on all softwood and hardwood products such as windows, doors, conservatories, summerhouses, gates, cladding and garden furniture. This hard-wearing coating can be used on horizontal and vertical surfaces. Royal Exterior wood finish is low in odour and with low VOC (volatile organic compounds). It complies to EN71 parts 2 & 3 relating to child toy safety and flammability. The unique formulation is a water-based acrylic and alkyd hybrid that incorporates a polyurethane dispersion based on linseed oil - a renewable resource.

A 1 litre tin will cover approximately 8m2 depending on moisture content and porosity of the timber. It is recommended that 2 coats be applied with a 3rd coat if a deeper colour density is required. Royal Exterior Wood Finish is a high build formulation so each extra coat increases the colour and sheen. No primer or basecoat required. If applying to bare timber a knotting agent or stain blocking primer should be applied prior to Royal to prevent any possible resin bleed staining the coating
