Colour Inspiration - Timber stains and colour: Whether you’re after a warm rich colour on your deck, or a semi-transparent finish on your outdoor furniture, Cabot’s has a solution. Our range of wood and deck stains, oils, paints and varnishes come in a wide range of colours, and are formulated to protect and nourish your timber while delivering lasting results. Which colour will work for me? Timber and decking stains contain higher levels of pigment than decking oils, so are great for changing the colour and look of timber. Stains work particularly well on light-coloured timber, although can be used effectively on darker wood with two or three coats. Timber paint gives a fully opaque finish. Cabot’s Deck and Exterior Stain transforms the colour of exterior timber in two coats. It can be used on most timber species. Highly durable, water repellent and mould resistant, it provides your timber with strong UV protection and can be tinted to many different colours, so you find the perfect match. If you’re after just a hint of colour on your wood without hiding the natural timber grain, use Cabot’s Exterior Varnish Stain.
