In Richmond, VA we have products for wood decks that are readily available. I have a few favorites that I love for their beauty. Cabot products have been highly regarded by Consumer Reports. I have found another site that gives sensible products that I know about and there are few that I know about that will last more than two or three years. But, I do like a newer product called CWF UV 5.
Generally, I follow up on all my products. I like to see which ones work very well. I like to see which ones hold up under my scrutiny. Because, I go back and see how the product looks one, two and three years later. Generally, CWF UV is a great product that is reasonable and has a beautiful look when put down on a wood deck surface. Without a doubt, I like the look that this product has. It looks rich, it looks substantive and it does look good two years after putting it down. A newer product has arrived by CWF. The company is owned by PPG Industries, the same company that owns Sikkens and also Olympic sealants and stains. PPG Industries has bought these companies and now market and sell them under their company name. I am about to use the product on a deck I just cleaned. Below are the pictures of the deck I am about to stain after having washed the various surfaces. As of tomorrow you will see the progress of this stain. CWF UV 5, Cedar is what I purchased today and I will apply it tomorrow and follow up with pictures of the final product. Let's see how this works.
The following is a link to a website that shares product reviews. This is why I chose to try this product.
