Why this Woodluxe stain stands out

• Translucent color, natural grain visibility. The Bleached Gray helps you maintain the beauty of your wood while delivering a modern, weather-ready finish.
• Penetrating waterborne formula. Penetrates deeply to help reduce surface cracking and weathering, while offering easier cleanup with soap and water.
• Sealer included. Acts as a protective barrier against moisture, lowering the chances of water uptake and related damage.
• UV resistant and water-repellent. Designed to guard against sun fading and moisture intrusion, helping extend the life of exterior wood surfaces.
• Easy brush application. Specifically formulated for brush-on use on decks, siding, and fences, providing precise control and a smooth, even finish.
• Coverage and durability. Covers approximately 300–400 square feet per gallon, with a limited warranty backing its durability.
• Timely cure. Reaches full cure in about 7 days, giving you building confidence for outdoor use in a reasonable timeframe.
• Non-tintable color. Tintable option is not available, ensuring a consistent Bleached Gray across applications.
• Ideal for outdoor wood projects. Specifically recommended for decks, siding, and fences where you want a respectful gray tone with lasting protection.

Ideal uses and scenarios

• Refreshing weathered or gray-toned decks to restore color while maintaining wood texture.
• Protecting new or previously stained siding without masking the wood grain.
