Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus 1L – 077 Pine

Premium Exterior Wood Protection with a Beautiful Satin Finish

Product Description:

Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus 1L in 077 Pine is a high-performance, medium-build, solvent-borne woodstain designed for use on exterior wood joinery. Developed to provide long-lasting protection against the harmful effects of weather and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, this product enhances the natural appearance of wood while offering a durable, translucent satin finish.

Ideal for exterior hardwood and softwood joinery such as doors, windows, and frames, Cetol Filter 7 Plus forms a flexible, microporous film that moves with the wood to prevent cracking and flaking. Its advanced formulation features UV-absorbing pigments that help resist fading and extend the lifespan of the timber.

This woodstain is part of the Sikkens two-part system, recommended for use as a topcoat over Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus basecoat for optimal performance and appearance.
