Sikkens Cetol Novatech – Transparent 2-in-1 Wood Stain

Description

Are you looking to protect your exterior wood while maintaining its natural beauty? Then the Sikkens Cetol Novatech from the Cetol collection is the perfect choice for you. This transparent wood stain is a 2-in-1 solution, serving both as a primer and a finishing coat for garden sheds, cladding, and outdoor furniture. It shields your surfaces from rain and sun, ensuring your wood remains healthy and vibrant.

While it's ideal for use on windows and doors as a base coat, for the finishing layer, we recommend using Sikkens Filter 7. This product is not only user-friendly but also easy to maintain. After 3 to 4 years, simply clean your surface and reapply the stain without sanding, provided you maintain it regularly.

With a selection of 8 popular ready-to-use wood tones, including Light Oak 006, Pine 077, and Teak 085, you can find the perfect shade to complement your outdoor space. For more unique colors, explore the Sikkens color fans under the 'Colors' tab.

Key features

  • High solid content – Ensures a durable and long-lasting finish
  • Optimal color enhancement – Brings out the natural beauty of the wood
  • Wood protective – Shields against weather elements
  • Moisture regulating – Allows the wood to breathe, preventing damage
  • Easy to apply – Streamlined application process saves time
  • Highly transparent – Keeps the wood grain visible for a natural look
  • Coverage – Covers approximately 18 to 20 m² per liter, or about 9 m² in a two-coat system

How to use?

To achieve the best results with Sikkens Cetol Novatech, start by preparing your wood surface. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free of any previous coatings. Apply the stain with a brush or roller, ensuring even coverage. For optimal protection, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between each. Typically, the product dries to the touch in a few hours, but always check the specific drying times on the label. For maintenance, simply clean the surface and reapply as needed, without the need for sanding.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Sikkens Cetol Novatech on interior wood?

While Cetol Novatech is designed for exterior use, it can be used indoors if you desire a similar finish. However, ensure adequate ventilation during application.

How often should I reapply the stain?

For optimal protection, reapply every 3 to 4 years. Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your wood surfaces.

How to stain with Sikkens Cetol Novatech?

For cladding and garden sheds, you can follow this brief step-by-step plan. If you want to stain dimensionally stable wood with Sikkens Cetol Novatech, this stain serves only as a primer and is best finished with 2 coats of Sikkens Filter 7 Plus.

1. Prepare

Start by removing dust, moss, or loose wood fibers using a stiff brush. Sand lightly in the direction of the wood grain for an even surface. Clean with a cloth and White Spirit, then allow the surface to dry completely. Use masking tape and protective foil to shield the surrounding area.

2. Apply

Stir the stain thoroughly before use. Use a flat, long-haired brush (like the ProGold Classic 7530) to apply an even coat. Let the first coat dry for about 24 hours. No separate primer is needed, because this Cetol Novatech acts as both base and topcoat.

3. Recoat

Apply a second coat after the first has dried. This two-layer system ensures strong protection against rain and sun. No sanding required between coats unless the surface has been exposed for a long period.
