1. Preparation: Clean the Surface
Start with a clean slate! Use Exterior Wood Cleaner to remove green deposits, moss, and dirt. This prepares the wood for optimal absorption of the protective layer and enhances end results.
Pro tip: Let the wood dry completely after cleaning.
2. Application: Choose the Right Product & Tools
Using DuroGrit
Apply 1 layer of DuroGrit on dry, bare wood using a Staalmeester brush. The patented FibreGrit® technology ensures long-lasting UV protection without masking the natural beauty of the wood.
- Best for: decks, garden furniture, stairs, sheds, …
- Can be used on vertical and horizontal surfaces
Using WoodCream
Apply one generous layer with the specially designed WoodCream Brush. Its creamy texture ensures drip-free vertical application and creates a breathable, water-repellent shield.
- Best for: cladding, fences, garden houses, sheds
- Do not use on horizontal surfaces
3. Maintenance: Keep It Looking Fresh
Use our Exterior Soap or Ecospray version for regular maintenance. These eco-friendly soaps remove dirt and preserve the protective layer without harming the finish.
Clean once or twice a year depending on weather and exposure.
