Sikkens Cetol Proluxe Srd Transparent Stain not only excels in simulated durability
testing, but also earns praise from professionals who stain houses, decks and
other exterior surfaces for a living. No transparent stain will ever last as
long as a solid stain or paint, but transparent stains such as Sikkens Cetol SRD
do have one big advantage: Unlike solid stains and paints, which form a
water-tight film on top of wood, experts say transparent stains penetrate the
wood itself, so they won’t flake or peel the way paint or solid stain can after
being exposed to the elements. This makes transparent stains the experts’ choice
for horizontal surfaces like decks — which suffer harsher abuse from the sun and
moisture than do vertical surfaces such as siding — and for rough surfaces such
as cedar shakes. Like the top-recommended exterior paint, Sherwin-Williams
Duration(*Est. $55 per gallon), Sikkens Proluxe Cetol SRD Transparent Stain is also one
of the most expensive exterior finishes you can buy, but the pros say it’s worth
it. If you want a more opaque stain for a vertical surface such as siding,
reviews recommend Sikkens Rubbol Siding Finish (*Est. $40 per gallon).

We found the best review of Sikkens Proluxe Cetol SRD Semi-Transparent Stain at
ConsumerReports.org which tests and ranks 14 exterior stains. Tim Carter, who
writes the syndicated column AskTheBuilder.com, cites Sikkens Cetol as a
top-five finisher in a college laboratory’s exterior stain test. Professional
contractors who post at DIYChatroom.com and PaintTalk.com also recommend Sikkens
stains, including the Cetol SRD Semi-Transparent formula. The U.S. Forest
Service recommends penetrating, oil-based wood stains (such as Sikkens Cetol SRD,
although no brands are mentioned) for rough wood surfaces.

Sikkens Proluxe stain is the number 1 specified exterior
wood product in the world.
