What It Is
Woodluxe is Benjamin Moore's premium exterior stain family, available from translucent (grain fully visible) through semi-transparent and semi-solid to solid color. It penetrates and protects rather than just coating, which is exactly what exterior wood wants.
How Our Crews Use It
We use Woodluxe wherever wood should still look like wood: cedar siding and shutters, railings and vertical deck structures, and solid-color re-stains over previously stained exteriors that aren't ready to cross over to paint.
Key Benefits
- Advanced all-weather protection with waterproofing
- UV- and mildew-resistant coating
- Resists cracking and peeling
- Minimized film buildup for easier recoating
- Penetrates deep into the wood
