Sikkens Cetol-1 Exterior

Details

lf0060-cetol-1

• Cetol 1 separates wood from the elements with a durable surface barrier which repels water, while allowing excess moisture to escape thus inhibiting fungal growth.
• Because the finish "breathes", it allows the logs to regulate moisture content. (see notes above on recommended moisture content).
• Generally used before Cetol-23 Plus, Cetol 1 penetrates into wood, seals it, and provides a perfect base.

Maintenance:

On homes:

• a maintenance coat using Cetol 23+ should be applied approximately every 4-5 years on most walls and 3 years on your "weather" side. 
• We've had people tell us "I haven't done anything in over 8 years and it still looks great" but please, don't wait that long!  
• You want your finish to stay in great shape--not wait until it degrades which gives you MUCH more work to do. 
• Before applying the maintenance coat, follow the maintenance preparation procedures discussed in the application guide which you'll get with your purchase.

For fences and outdoor furniture:

• Recoat with Cetol 1 as visually necessary--usually every 1-2 years.

Siding, trim, doors, garage doors, windows, logs, outdoor furniture, fences
