Features
Protek Royal Exterior provides a rich, long-lasting colour while still allowing the qualities of the timber and the natural beauty of the wood grain to show through. It is ideal for hardwood or softwood and will last for anywhere between two and five years, depending on levels of wear and tear or exposure to the elements. Royal Exterior penetrates the top layers of your timber and creates a coating on the surface. It is also a joinery grade treatment which gets into all the joins and cracks of your timber to offer maximum protection. By treating your timber with Protek, you get an excellent level of water resistance as well as superb protection from mould, rot, fungus and weathering. The weatherproof layer that Protek paint forms even works on horizontal surfaces, unlike cheaper alternatives.
Treated wood also benefits from UV protection as the resins and acrylics filter UV and slow down the effects of colour fading. While providing this excellent protection, Protek creates a microporous coating, which allows the timber to breathe; this is essential for the longevity of your treated wood. When dry, it forms a hard, durable surface. Besides the excellent protection this offers your timber, it also ensures that no colouring will rub off onto your clothes, for example, unlike alternative treatments on the market. Our wood stains are also designed to be flexible and move with timber as it expands and contracts with the seasons.
Protek Royal Exterior is a water-based treatment. This gives it a number of advantages over other types of treatment. Because water is the “carrier” in Protek, this means that when the paint dries it is water that evaporates, not an oil or white spirit. This gives Protek a low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) rating and a low odour. Protek also use a biodegradable fungicide to minimise the impact of its products on the environment. On top of this, Protek Royal Exterior complies with EN71 parts 2 and 3 relating to child toy safety and flammability. For all these reasons, Protek Royal Exterior has been deemed suitable for use around pets, plants and children, provided a period of 24 hours for the treatment to completely dry is allowed before allowing contact with animals or soil. It will, however, be touch dry within two hours in normal weather conditions.

Important Note on Colour
Although the colour we show with each product is as close as possible to how it will look when painted on timber, there will be variations in colour interpretation on different screens (computer screens, tablet devices, mobile phones etc.) and printing processes may slightly alter the colours. Because of this, the colour you see on your screen, or even if you print out our product information page, may vary from how the colour of the treatment appears in reality. Final colour, when painted, may also be affected by the timber that your paint is applied to (pale softwood as opposed to dark hardwood, for example) and could be affected if you are over-coating previous treatments. If you have any doubts, sample pots are available or you can visit elbec’s showsite where we can show you samples of the whole colour range applied to wooden swatches.
