About this product
Ronseal 5 Year Woodstain in Natural Oak offers robust protection for exterior wooden surfaces, formulated to withstand the elements and enhance the natural beauty of your timber. This water-based stain is designed to safeguard wood from weathering, providing a durable finish that’s BBA approved and guarantees waterproofing and protection for up to five years.
This 750ml tin of stain provides a semi-transparent coating in a Natural Oak shade, suitable for use on fences, sheds, and cladding. The micro porous formula allows the wood to breathe, preventing blistering and peeling while maintaining its natural appearance. It’s highly UV resistant, preventing colour fade and ensuring your project stays looking vibrant season after season.
The stain's high coverage rate of 20m²/litre means a little goes a long way, and it dries quickly between coats, improving efficiency when applying. The tin itself measures approximately 9.9 x 9.9 x 11.9 centimetres and weighs just 0.92 pounds.
Please note that while offering excellent protection, this product requires recoating sooner than Ronseal’s 10-year range. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for optimal application and consider the surface you are working with – best suited for wood and oak.
