Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Penofin Transparent Matte IPE Oil-Based Penetrating Hardwood Stain 1 gal is formulated to bring out the rich grain of IPE and other dense outdoor hardwoods while delivering durable protection from sun, moisture, and weathering.

Natural look with durable protection — The transparent IPE color adds a warm brown tone that enhances grain without obscuring texture, finished in a matte sheen that minimizes glare on sunlit surfaces.

Why it's different

  • Oil-based penetrating formula that soaks into wood fibers for lasting color and protection.
  • UV resistant to slow fading and weathering on outdoor hardwoods.
  • Sealer not required; this stain is designed for direct outdoor use.
  • Generous coverage: approximately 300-400 sq ft per gallon.
  • VOC level 250 keeps you compliant with many regulations.
  • Color: IPE; Brown color family; Transparent finish.
  • Container: 1 gallon; ideal for large decks or multiple projects.
  • Outdoor use; Sheen: Matte.
  • Application methods: Brush, Stain Pad, or Plastic Pump Sprayer.
  • Time before recoating: 4.

How to apply and what to expect

Because this is an oil-based penetrating stain, it works best when applied evenly across dry, clean wood surfaces and allowed to penetrate before re-coating. The matte, transparent finish reveals wood grain while providing durable UV protection for outdoor use.

Who should consider this stain

Ideal for homeowners and professionals maintaining outdoor hardwoods that deserve a natural look with long-lasting protection. If your project involves IPE or similar dense hardwoods and you want a low-gloss, color-true finish, this Penofin stain is designed for you.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
