Wood Paint Guide
What type of paint do I need?
Out in the elements, unprotected wood can go grey and discolour over time and your wood paint, or wood stain, oil or varnish can also fade or even change colour. For a longer lasting, bright colour choose either Woodstain and Protect, or Royal Exterior.
Acrylic paint is the most commonly used indoor wood paint as it has very little odour and is quick-drying. The water-based formula of these paints means that most contain less toxic ingredients than other types of paint.
Fence Paint
Choose Shed and Fence for great coverage, or Woodstain and Protect for the best colour range.
Shed Paint
Select Woodstain and Protect for a great colour choice, Shed and Fence for value, or Royal Exterior for the best finish
Furniture Paint
Outdoor furniture is usually painted with Royal Exterior, as it provides the most durability and the best colour choices.
Interior Paint
Royal Interior is a specially designed paint. It's low odour and quick drying time make it ideal for internal wood cladding.
What is a wood stain?
A wood stain allows you to see the grain of the wood through the treatment that you have just applied. The advantage of seeing the wood grain is especially required on timber such as Cedar, Oak, Elm, and other hardwoods. This allows their natural beauty to shine through whilst still being protected against the elements.
What is a wood paint?
A wood paint is especially for those looking to change the colour of the timber. This is quite popular when doing a garden makeover, however you may still see the grain of the timber on some products. Additional coats will create a more opaque finish, however the more expensive paints will require less coats and provide a superior look.
