TWP 200 Series Wood Stain Picture Album
TWP 200 Series is a semi-transparent oil-based penetrating finish designed to extend the life of exterior wood such as decking, cedar shake siding, and shingles. Containing a paraffin oil, the TWP 200 series penetrates wood extremely well. Paraffin oil is a “non-drying” oil that enhances the wood cell’s structural stability. This greatly improves the wood’s life and appearance.
- TWP 200 Series earned an overall score of 8.25 out of 10 at the two-year mark, making it a solid performer.
- The stain offers great UV protection and does not peel, which are two of the most important qualities in an exterior wood finish.
- TWP 200 Series is recommended for vertical wood surfaces like cedar shake siding and shingles without any major concerns.
- The main drawbacks are dry time and final color curing, which matter most on horizontal decking surfaces.
- The TWP 100 Series and TWP 1500 Series are generally preferred due to wider availability at retail locations.
- Paraffin oil in the formula helps the stain penetrate deeply into wood cells, improving both structural stability and long-term appearance.
Overall Score TWP 200 Series Stain at 2 Year Period: 8.25
– We like the 200 Series, but normally use the 100 or 1500 as it is more readily available. It has great UV protection and does not peel. The only slight issues are the dry time and final color curing. This is a non-issue for vertical wood, but you will have to wait until dry for horizontal decking.
