Product Information

Full details

This Exterior Wood Stain in Cream is designed for homeowners looking to protect and beautify all types of outdoor wood, including garden furniture, windows, and doors. Its key benefit is a fast-drying, water-based formula that provides even colour penetration in a single coat, enhancing the natural wood grain. A minor caveat is the recommendation to follow up with Teak Oil for maximum longevity and protection.

FAQs

Can I use this stain on interior wood?

Yes, the Exterior Wood Stain can be used on interior wood if you prefer the available colours. It shares technology with the interior Wood Stain but is formulated slightly thicker for exterior use.

How many coats of stain are recommended?

The stain provides colour in just one coat. However, you can apply additional coats to deepen the colour intensity. Allow each coat to become touch dry before applying the next.

What should I use after applying the stain?

After staining your outdoor wood, we recommend treating it with B&Q Teak Oil to help protect the wood and keep it looking newer for longer.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because this is a water-based wood stain, simply rinse your brush, foam brush, or lint-free cloth under the tap with water immediately after use.

Is this product safe for use around pets and children?

The stain has a water-based formula which is low odour and non-toxic, making it safe to use in all outdoor environments. Ensure children and pets do not come into contact with wet surfaces.

How much area does one litre of this stain cover?

The coverage is approximately 13m² per litre.

What types of wood can I use this stain on?

It is suitable for all softwoods and hardwoods used outdoors, including garden furniture, windows, doors, and cladding.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour application

Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared and free of contaminants. Stir the stain thoroughly before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats, avoiding over-application in any one area. If the issue persists, try a very light sanding and reapplication.

Stain not drying properly

Check environmental conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. Ensure the product has not expired. Make sure a sufficient thickness of stain was not applied, as this can impede drying. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Wood grain not visible after staining

This stain is designed to allow grain to show through. If the grain is obscured, it may indicate too many coats were applied or that the wood is very dense and absorbed the colour deeply. For future applications, use fewer coats or test on an inconspicuous area first.

Water beading on the surface after drying

This is expected initially as the stain cures and then becomes water-resistant. If water continues to bead significantly after a few days, ensure the surface was properly cleaned before application and that no oily residues (like from previously used wood treatments) were present.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and old finishes. Sand lightly if necessary.

Application:

Stir the stain thoroughly before and during use.
Apply using a foam brush, bristle brush, or lint-free cloth.
Apply evenly to the wood surface.
For a deeper colour, apply additional coats after the previous coat is touch dry. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Compatibility: Suitable for all softwoods and hardwoods used outdoors. Can also be used on interior wood.

Drying & Curing: Touch dry in 10 minutes, rainproof in 30 minutes. Allow the finish to cure fully before prolonged exposure to heavy moisture or traffic.

Post-Application Recommendation: After staining, it is recommended to treat the wood with B&Q Teak Oil to further protect the wood and maintain its appearance.

Care:

Clean application tools (brushes, cloths) immediately after use with water.
The stained finish is lightfast and water-resistant. Routine cleaning can be done with a damp cloth.
For long-term protection, reapplication may be necessary depending on exposure levels.
