Sadolin is a high-quality woodcare range that utilises advanced technology. They offer superior wood protection and innovative formulas that help maintain and protect timber year after year.
This brand is part of the Crown Paints family, which has been producing quality paints for over 200 years. This expert range is specially formulated for use in gardens or other outdoor areas. It’s ideal for interior and exterior woodwork, like wooden doors, bannisters, and windows.
Sadolin woodcare products are known for their durability and ability to tackle rough surfaces well. A coat of Sadolin can be applied to rough-sawn fences without any issues, and Sadolin's wood stains have some of the best durability on the market.
Products like Sadolin Beautiflex even offer UV protection, enhancing and extending the lifetime of your finish and making it extremely low-maintenance.
Here are some of the key benefits of Sadolin wood stain:
-
Extremely durable finish: Resists harsh weathering, UV rays, moisture and frost.
-
Suitable for rough timber: Ideal for fences, sheds and even unsanded decking.
-
Deep-penetrating formula: Helps resist peeling, cracking and flaking.
-
UV protection: Minimises sun damage and fading for long-lasting colour.
-
Low-maintenance finish: Looks great for longer without the need for regular reapplication.
-
Professional-grade results: Delivers a high-quality, durable finish.
-
Versatile: Suitable for softwoods, hardwoods, and even interior wooden flooring.
Whether you're treating exterior wood surfaces or revamping indoor joinery, you'll find the right solution in our expert range of exterior and interior products.
We recommend applying Sadolin with a long-bristled brush for lasting results. With proper preparation and application, using Sadolin Classic as a basecoat and Sadolin Extra as a topcoat, the finish should last between 4–5 years.
Explore the diverse applications of our Sadolin interior and exterior products below.
Sadolin Paint for Sheds & Fences
If you're looking for a high-quality Sadolin fence paint, then we recommend Sadolin Superdec. Enjoy over 40 Sadolin colours or colour-match to any shade of your choice to achieve your perfect look!
Alternatively, start with a basecoat of Sadolin Classic and top with Sadolin Extra or Sadolin Beautiflex for a resilient, multi-surface finish that won’t need refreshing for 4–5 years.
Sadolin Stain Options for Decking
We recommend using Sadolin Wet Wood Decking Stain when treating garden decking. We do not recommend using Sadolin Superdec on decking as it is not designed to be walked on, and therefore will not provide as durable or long-lasting a finish.
Sadolin Varnish for Interior Wood
We recommend Sadolin Polyurethane Extra Durable Varnish for interior wooden bannisters, windowsills, doors and almost all other interior wood.
Thanks to its tough, hard-wearing finish, this varnish offers extra durability and is resistant to stains and spills. It is available in three finishes:
Wooden Floors
Varnish internal wooden flooring with our low-odour Sadolin Polyurethane Floor Varnish for a long-lasting, resilient finish in high-traffic areas. This Sadolin varnish is resistant to spills and stains and suitable for use on all types of wooden flooring, including hardwood, softwood boards and parquet.
Sadolin Solutions for Exterior Wood & Garden Furniture
Use Sadolin Classic and Sadolin Extra Durable to pre-treat and prepare external joinery and garden furniture. These products protect against rain, sunlight and general weather fluctuations, helping you enjoy a longer-lasting finish throughout the seasons.
