I'm getting close to the stage where I need to paint the cladding on my bungalow.
Cuprinol and Ronseal don't seem to live up to their reputation, according to [url= http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3320672 ]this[/url] and other threads.
I've used the [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-wood-treatment-green-5ltr/67423 ]No-Nonsense stuff from Screwfix[/url] on my shed and it was very pale, and is quickly getting paler.
[url= http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Painting+Decorating/Exterior+Wood+Care/d150/sd3176 ]Toolstation do a couple of different ones[/url].
The [url= http://www.cromar.uk.com/images/stories/datasheets/Wood%20Treatment.pdf ]data sheet for Cromar[/url] shows different properties and warnings for different colours. It's the green one I want.
What about [url= http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Painting+Decorating/Exterior+Wood+Care/Ensele+End+Grain+Treatment+1Ltr+Green/d150/sd3176/p32693 ]End Grain Treatment[/url] ? Do I really need special stuff, or should I just dunk the ends in the same stuff that I'm painting on ?
youll be wanting butinox then.
At £15 a litre. That's getting on for four times the price of Cromar from Toolstation. Is it really that good ?
Well my windows frames are covered in the stuff. ill let you know in a few years.
i asked similar questions else where and of folks i know in the trades and always got a resounding "butinox it costs a bit more but its worth it"
But my windows and 2 doors took 2 litres - id imagine your shed will take a bit more 😀
Yeah, I've got about 60m2 to cover.
I'm using tanalised match boarding on a bungalow, so maybe I don't really need the best stuff as the wood should be fairly rot proof and easy to recoat in a couple of years anyway.
aye thats a decision youll ave to make
mines seems to be pressure treated hard wood from what i can see but being windows i wanted to do them as infrequently as possible !
