After the harsh winter months, woodwork can be in need of a serious spring clean and leading coatings manufacturer Johnstone’s extensive interior and exterior Woodworks range of stains and varnishes provide the ideal mix of protection and decoration.
Protective Woodstains
Exposure to the elements can leave timber a little worse for wear. Using a proven quality woodstain you can help to protect from the effects of weathering whilst providing a highly attractive finish to the wood. Johnstone’s Woodworks Woodstains are available in both matt and satin finishes, and provide a long lasting maintenance solution. The protective microporous coatings allow the wood to breathe. Woodworks Woodstains are also designed to flex with the timber to help resist cracking, blistering and peeling. These protective features make the Woodstains ideal for both interior and exterior applications over rough sawn and smooth planed timber, barge boards, doors, windows, and garden and household furniture.
The Woodworks Woodstains products are available in traditional solvent-based formulations as well as an environmentally friendly water based alternative. Johnstone’s Quick Dry Satin Woodstain has all of the protective microporous properties of the solvent based products, with the added benefits of low odour and a quicker drying and re-coat time, useful for projects that need to meet a tight completion deadline.
Hardwearing Varnishes
To neaten up interior woodwork, Johnstone’s supply an array of varnish products. The range of Woodworks Varnishes has been formulated to provide a hardwearing, protective finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. They are ideal for high traffic areas, and form a barrier to chemical spillage and scratching. Added protection is available with the range of polyurethane varnishes that provide a more durable and robust level of protection. Water based varnish alternatives are available that offer all the protection and finish of the solvent based varnish, along with a quicker drying time and reduced odour, making them more workable on interior projects. Woodworks Varnishes enhance the natural beauty of bare wood and are also suitable for application over previously varnished or stained surfaces.
Opaque Coatings
Johnstone’s Woodworks range of opaque wood coatings and preservers are an ideal way to provide lasting protection to exterior woodwork, as well as maintaining a tough wearing finish following the winter weather.
Woodworks Opaque Wood coatings have been developed to provide a high quality, low maintenance microporous, satin finish, designed to be water repellent to protect the timber, and have been dual formulated to resist UV attack. The opaque wood coatings offer a solid colour that allows the natural textures of the wood to feature through. Woodworks Opaque is available in both traditional solvent and quick drying water borne formulations, for a long lasting and all weather protective finish. They are ideal for exterior woodwork including sheds, gates, cladding, and fascias, as well as rough sawn or smooth planed timber, and garden furniture for those lazy summer afternoons.
As well as providing flawless finishes, the Woodworks range also provides the solution to control wood destroying insects and fungi with the All Purpose Preserver. The product provides maximum protection for your wood, with years of protection against fungal spoilage, rot, blue stain and wood-boring insects.
