Outdoor Wood Paints
What is Exterior Wood Paint
Exterior wood paints are formulated to resist harsh weather conditions, including UV damage, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, while interior paints focus on aesthetics, scratch resistance, and ease of cleaning. Exterior paints often contain more durable resins and additives to prevent cracking, fading, and mold growth, while interior paints prioritize ease of application, low VOCs, and stain resistance.
We would recommend priming exterior wood before painting if it hasn’t already been treated or painted.
Primer helps seal the wood, preventing moisture from penetrating and reducing the risk of rot or warping.
The best exterior wood paint is Protek Royal Exterior, as it provides a smooth, durable finish and excellent protection against the elements. An close second best is Protek Woodstain & Protect, as it offers a sprayable application and is therefore uch quicker to apply.

What is Exterior Wood Stain
Exterior wood stain is a type of coating specifically designed for outdoor wooden surfaces like decks, fences, and furniture. It’s a penetrating finish that colors and protects the wood, enhancing its natural beauty and resisting weather damage like UV rays, moisture, and mold. Unlike paint, which sits on the surface, stain absorbs into the wood, allowing the wood grain to show through.
The best exterior wood stain is Timber Eco Shield due to it’s longevity.
