Interior floorsProtect timber without losing its character.
Exterior joineryBuild a compatible preparation and finish system.
DeckingChoose protection made for horizontal timber.
Timber repairRepair defects before the coating system begins.
Understand the finish
Choose by behaviour, not only by colour.
These plain-English definitions are deliberately general. Final suitability, preparation and application must come from the current product label and technical data sheet.
Coloured oils
Add colour while retaining a visible relationship with the timber beneath.
Hardwax oils
Combine penetrating oils and waxes for repairable interior protection.
Wood stains
Colour and protect timber; transparency and protection vary by product.
Wood dyes
Colour the timber itself and normally require a compatible protective topcoat.
Varnishes
Build a protective film in a chosen sheen; suitability varies by product.
Polyurethane finishes
Film-forming protection where the selected product and substrate are compatible.
Exterior wood protection
Systems developed for weather exposure, timber movement and maintenance.
Opaque exterior coatings
Create a painted appearance while concealing most of the grain.
Decking treatments
Products specifically intended for horizontal exterior timber and foot traffic.
Preservatives
Preparation products used only where the manufacturer specifies them.
Knotting treatments
Isolate resinous knots to help reduce staining through compatible coatings.
Wood fillers
Repair holes and surface defects before sanding and finishing.
Two-part resin repairs
Multi-component repair systems for deeper or specialist timber repairs.
Cleaners and maintenance
Clean, refresh and maintain a compatible existing finish.
Strippers and preparation products
Remove failed coatings and prepare sound timber for the next system.

Exterior wood systems
Protection is a sequence.
New, previously painted, stained, weathered, resinous or damaged timber can require different preparation. Never merge stages from unrelated manufacturer systems.
Assess
Identify timber, moisture, exposure, soundness and the existing finish.
Prepare
Clean, remove failed coatings, repair defects and treat knots only as specified.
Prime
Use the manufacturer’s preservative primer, primer or undercoat where required.
Finish
Apply the compatible translucent or opaque topcoat at the specified film build.
Maintain
Inspect exposed timber and recoat before the protective system fails.
Dulux Trade Weathershield
Weathershield products are system components. Bare wood can require Preservative Primer+, followed by the appropriate flexible or quick-dry undercoat and compatible satin or gloss topcoat. The correct route depends on the chosen system and current manufacturer specification.
Check the current Weathershield range ↗Wood repair
Match the repair to the damage.
Surface filling, deep repairs, spliced timber and resin systems are not interchangeable. Extensive decay may require a joiner or specialist contractor.
Small imperfections
Fine or general-purpose fillers for sound timber, nail holes and shallow defects.
Deep repairs
Product-specific two-part fillers where the manufacturer allows deeper filling.
Rotten timber
Remove unsound material, assess remaining structure and follow a complete repair specification.
Resin systems
Timbabuild-style systems require compatible stabiliser or primer, resin, correct dispensing equipment, mixing nozzles and finishing tools.
Decking & garden timber
Horizontal timber needs a dedicated route.
Decking oils, stains, anti-slip finishes, cleaners and restorers have different maintenance needs. Do not use a vertical-only exterior finish on decking unless its manufacturer explicitly allows it.
Find decking products →Interior timber
Balance appearance, durability and repairability.
Floors, furniture, doors, panelling and worktops place different demands on oils, hardwax oils, varnishes, lacquers, dyes, stains and opaque coatings.

Compare the broad behaviours.
Performance varies by product. Use this table to narrow the category, then check the product record and current technical data sheet.
| Finish type | Appearance | Grain visibility | Typical uses | Protection | Maintenance / repair | Tintable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Penetrating oil | Natural to coloured | Usually visible | Furniture, joinery; varies by product | Varies by product | Often locally maintainable | Varies |
| Hardwax oil | Low sheen to satin | Visible | Floors, furniture, worktops where specified | Wear and spill resistance varies | Often repairable in local areas | Product-specific |
| Varnish / polyurethane | Film-forming | Visible through clear films | Interior timber; exterior only where specified | Varies by resin and system | May require sanding before recoating | Product-specific |
| Translucent stain | Coloured, grain visible | Visible | Exterior or interior by product | Varies by system and exposure | Maintenance before film failure | Often |
| Opaque coating | Painted appearance | Mostly concealed | Doors, windows, cladding, furniture | System-dependent | Prepare and recoat as specified | Often |
| Wood dye | Colours the timber | Visible | Decorative interior timber | Not normally a protective finish alone | Depends on compatible topcoat | Ready colours / mixing varies |

Preparation guidance
The finish can only perform on a suitable surface.
Check moisture and timber condition; clean and degrease; remove failed coatings; sand and remove dust; treat knots, end grain or biological growth only where the chosen specification requires it; and always complete a test area.
Not sure which wood finish you need?
Bring the project to the showroom.
Bring a photograph, timber sample, the product previously used, location and exposure details, and approximate measurements. We can help you build a compatible system.
