WOODguard is an oil-based, penetrating semi-transparent wood stain and EPA-registered wood preservative all in one product. WOODguard is a highly-durable, one-coat stain designed for log homes, wood siding, wood shingle and shake roofs, and fencing.  WOODguard protects against cupping, curling and warping. WOODguard controls fungus, wood decay, mold, mildew, termites and anabiid powderpost beetles with its EPA registered wood preservative Copper-8-Quinolinolate. Not intended for use on decks.

WOODguard features include:

• Highly durable, one coat, oil-based, transparent wood preservative designed for log homes and siding,
• Provides long-term protection and water repellency by penetrating deeply into the wood,
• Contains several transparent ultra violet blocking pigments, which protect the finish from damaging ultra violet rays and improve water repellency, and
• Forms a semi-transparent polymer binder that holds the pigments to the wood and allows the logs to breathe.

IMPORTANT:  Use Wet Samples to choose stain color.

Before purchasing stain, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND testing wet samples of the stain on your home in the color or colors that you are considering—for the following reasons:

1. Stain color on your computer will look different on your home.
2. The appearance of a stain color is affected by the wood being stained—due to factors such as wood species, texture, and porosity.
3. Wet samples of stain are available at no or low cost.
4. Choosing your stain color by first testing wet samples to know how it will really look on your home will ensure that you get the color that is just right for your home.
