Treating new/ bare exterior wood
Have you bought exterior wood that has not yet been impregnated? Then go ahead and do it yourself, as this will ensure that your wood remains protected from pesky wood-affecting insects.

Treating wood outdoors: do you choose stain or oil?
Stain or oil - what exactly is the difference? Many DIY brands use the term ‘oil’ in their product names, simply because not everyone is familiar with the word ‘stain.’ Brands like Xyladecor, V33 and Woodlover conveniently play on this.
With the real pro brands, on the other hand, such as Sigma and Sikkens, you will only find stain products, because professionals have long added this word to their paint dictionary. What's our short definition?
Our brief definition of stain = a waterproof protection especially for use on exterior wood to extend its life and prevent wood rot and ageing.

Treating wood outdoors: the most popular categories
Check out the most popular wood outdoor categories. From stains to wood impregnants and outdoor wood oils.
How much stain, oil, ... do I need?
The yield of 1L of stain or oil is between 12m² and 15m². Note that it is recommended to apply two to three layers for the best protection.
So ultimately, with 1L you can basically cover around 4 to 5m² in a three-coat system.
Note: the exact consumption may vary from product to product. So always check the technical data sheet for more certainty.
At what intervals should you treat your exterior wood again?
With a transparent exterior stain, you can protect your exterior wood from the sun and rain for an average of 3 years. With an opaque stain it is 5 years on average. However, if your exterior wood is exposed to the sun for hours on end, it will discolour faster than wood left in the shade. Take this into account.
If you use an oil, you will have to go back to work sooner. In fact, we recommend using an oil to maintain your garden furniture, teak or bankirai every year.
Stain
Do you already know what finish you want? A transparent one that accentuates the wood structure? Or would you rather work with an opaque stain that really colours your wood, but also leaves the grain visible? From black stain to white stain, Tintrio has an extensive range of stains.
Wood Impregnation
Bare, new wood outside should first be treated with an impregnating agent to keep it protected from wood-damaging insects. Wondering which wood impregnating products we have in our range? Take a look!
Outdoor wood oil
Outdoor wood oil is mainly used on garden furniture and on teak or bangkirai surfaces. Oil penetrates deep into your wood, nourishing it from the inside. Ideal for smooth types of wood. View the outdoor wood oil range now.
