Wood Iron is the most comprehensive exterior wood finish on the market today. Some products have good water repellency while lacking UV inhibitors. Other products use coarse iron oxide pigments that obscure the wood grain. The ingredients of Wood Iron will protect wood under any given condition wood is normally subjected to when used for siding, fencing, roofing, or decks.

  • Wood Iron New Wood/Recoat Grade, Restoration Grade and Water-Borne have a blend of natural oils, resins, and copolymers that penetrate into the wood cells and fibers. After the oil has solidified the structural integrity of the wood is restored. Wood Iron Generations Wood Finish is our non-oil based finish that is a blend of acrylics with elastomeric properties and is water-based.
  • Wood Iron accentuates the beauty and grain of the wood. The transparent oxide tints combined with additional UV absorbers and stabilizers provide protection from the sun's ultra-violet rays and the effect magnifies the natural beauty of the wood.
  • Wood Iron has a water repellent to prevent water from penetrating into the wood.
  • Wood Iron contains a powerful yet safe mildewcide to prevent the growth of mold, mildew or algae on the coating film.
