Why Arborcoat?
When you are searching for the right stain for your home, it is important to choose something that will stand the test of time. Benjamin Moore has designed this stain just for that purpose – a long-lasting appearance for your home that you can enjoy for years to come. Arborcoat provides above-average UV protection, meaning your color will not fade as fast over time. The stain also repels water very well, avoiding potential damage from too much rain. It resists blistering, peeling, stains, and scuffs while providing a mildew-resistant coating for a longer lifetime.
Where can I use Arborcoat Stain?
Depending on what you choose, Arborcoat can be used in a variety of applications. The Translucent and Semi-Transparent options are perfect for wooden decking, siding, and furniture, while the Waterborne Solid Stain is suitable for use on all types of wood and properly-cured stucco masonry, manufactured, and fiber-cement siding. This product is also perfect for creating a stained covered porch ceiling, wooden door, and more. The possibilities are endless!
Picking the Best Option for My Home
Arborcoat stains are a very versatile product, whether you want to enhance the look of natural wood or want to add a pop of color to the outside of your home. It is available in five different opacities:
- Clear protective coating with no color added, designed to make your outdoor surface last
- Translucent protects while allowing the grain patterns and texture to show through with the slightest tone. This option is excellent for hardwoods and is available in six ready-mix wood-inspired colors
- Semi-Transparent allows most of the grain patterns to show through while providing additional protection. Available in 75 colors, this is ideal for softwoods such as pine, spruce, or fir.
- Semi-Solid stains provide a barrier with more color while covering most imperfections, also available in 75 colors.
- Solid stains provide the most shielding and color while covering most imperfections and can be used for all wood types. The solid stain is by far the most versatile, available in thousands of colors.
