Flood® Wood Care Introduces OneCoat Waterproofing Finish

Protect and beautify your investments by staining wood with a high-quality product. First thoroughly prepare the wood. When staining a new deck, fence or other unfinished wood item, start with Flood(R) Cleaner/Brightener. Before staining wood, let it dry completely -- unless you plan to use Flood(R) OneCoat Waterproofing Finish, which is specially formulated to be applied to damp wood. For step-by-step guidance, visit www.Flood.com and refer to the application instructions.

CLEVELAND--()--Flood® Wood Care, a leading producer of specialty wood stains, introduces OneCoat Waterproofing Finish, a product that protects wood surfaces with one application rather than two. The new stain is made of an oil and water emulsion, providing superior penetration and protection.

Available exclusively at The Home Depot, OneCoat Waterproofing Finish helps save homeowners time, as it can be applied hours after wood preparation, not days like most traditional stains.

“With Flood OneCoat, staining fences, decks and wood siding can happen before the wood has completely dried,” said Steven Frye, channel marketing director for AkzoNobel, makers of Flood Wood Care products. “Now homeowners can complete their wood staining project in just one to two days depending on the size of project.”

Flood OneCoat Waterproofing Finish contains mildewcides, making the product mildew resistant.

It is available in premixed wood stain colors and a natural color that may be tinted to additional wood-toned options. Clarity of color is gained from the stain’s Trans-Oxide Pigments. View the full list of colors here.

The stain is ideal for new or weathered exterior wood that is porous enough to accept a penetrating finish. The oil-based product cleans up easily with soap and water. Before beginning a wood staining project, view the product calculator at www.flood.com.
