The 6 most popular deck finishes

  • Waterborne Clear Sealer: protects wood from sun and moisture while allowing the wood to gray naturally. Water repellants protect wood against cracking, splitting and warping.
  • Oil-Based Transparent Stain: a penetrating, oil-based formula that enriches and protects the beauty of wood with a rich transparent stain.
  • Waterborne Semi-Transparent Stain: a penetrating oil-based formula that protects the beauty of the wood with a rich semi-transparent stain that allows wood grain texture to show through. Repels water to prevent moisture and contains a scuff resistant formula with UV protection that resists fading.
  • Oil-Based Semi-Transparent Stain: provides rich transparent appearance that highlights wood grain. Three-oil formula contains deep penetrating tung oil for lasting protection.
  • Waterborne Semi-Solid Color Stain: provides rich pigmented appearance, allows some natural wood grain to show through. Available with IR Reflective Technology in three colors.
  • Waterborne Solid Color Stain: Provides durable, opaque protection for many exterior horizontal wood surfaces. It is recommended that you consult the manufacturer of your composite deck for staining procedures. Featuring Cool Feel™ Color Technology helps reduce the surface temperature by up to 20°F when compared to conventional color technology.
