Do you need to coat non-dimensionally accurate, limited dimensionally accurate, or dimensionally accurate wooden components in exterior areas? Or wood and wood-based material in interior areas? Are you looking for a covering, glazing, or colorless wood coating?  After the criteria have been selected, the product assistant guides you directly to the right product.

No other material is as versatile as wood - but it also has a number of peculiarities to be contended with: As a natural material, wood is extremely challenging. Wood has to be protected from the sun, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. As early as the planning phase, it is important to ensure that wooden components are protected from moisture penetration. Rain and condensation must drain off without obstruction. Because constructive faults cannot be rectified afterwards, even by the best coating system.

• Adequate eaves: The eaves should be dimensioned such that direct weathering is avoided to the greatest possible extent. Wood components should not be used in the splash water zone!
• Protection of end-grain faces: Cut surfaces across the grain (end grain face) are particularly susceptible to moisture absorption and have a high rate of swelling. The end grain face should therefore be protected from direct weathering to the greatest possible extent.
• Drip edges: These serve to drain off the water as quickly as possible.
• Rounded edges: For dimensionally accurate wooden components – e.g. windows – all edges must be rounded to achieve a good edge protection with an adequate layer thickness.
• Avoid contact with the ground!

Chemical wood protection should always be implemented selectively – i.e., only where required due to the type of wood used and the situation on site, and also only where its effect is actually needed: deep in the wood. The impregnation to be used must therefore have a good penetration properties.

Brillux Wood Preservative Primer 250 is ideal for deeply penetrating into the pores of the wood, thus protecting non-lbearing timbers without ground contact in exterior areas as well as windows and exterior doors against blue stain fungus. Its effectiveness was acknowledged in an EU-wide approval procedure for wood preservative.

Physical wood protection is used in addition to the constructive measures and chemical protection. In this context, suitable coatings are used, which, on the one hand, keep the impacts of weather away from the wood and, on the other hand, are used for surface design. Flexible protection against algae and fungi In addition to soiling, microorganisms such as algae and fungi are increasingly becoming a problem for exterior surfaces. The unique Protect protection concept from Brillux provides flexible and extensive protection in all color shades and for all substrates – including wood.

The selection of the correct wood coating is based on the criterion of dimensional stability. This defines how much a wood component changes or is permitted to change its dimensions due to swelling and shrinkage. We differentiate between non-dimensionally accurate, limited dimensionally accurate, and dimensionally accurate wooden components, which all require specific coating build-ups.

Wood: A building material with character. In particular, the natural grain and texture make it so popular. This makes it all the more important to maintain this special building material and to protect it from algal or fungal attack, but also from external weather influences.  

SolvoGuard 885 ensures easy and uncomplicated renovation of dimensionally stable, semi-dimensionally stable and dimensionally unstable wooden components in exterior areas. Even when used over large areas, application is easy and smooth, thanks to the low coating resistance. In addition, the one-pot system reliably prevents the striking through of wood constituents. This means that no product changes are necessary during the renovation.

Smooth coats for naturally beautiful wood

Whether it's on wooden paneling, facades, fences, roof soffits, balconies, windows or exterior doors: SolvoGuard 885 optimally protects various wooden components from the effects of weather thanks to its good flow properties and high stability. Since the coating protects against fungal attack, the value of the wood remains for a long time. The texture-preserving coating with a silk matt surface has a naturally beautiful effect and thus emphasizes the unique character of the wood.
What's so special about it is that the wood paint, based on long-oiled alkyd resin, is available in a variety of color shades and translucent color shades via the Color System and enables uniform surface results on unevenly weathered wooden components depending on the substrate and preference.

Whether it's on wooden paneling, facade claddings, fences, roof soffits, balconies, windows or doors: Wood coatings must withstand changing weather conditions, especially in exterior areas. With their robust properties, they ensure maximum functionality and support a long-lasting, attractive appearance.

TopGuard 280 is primarily suitable for outdoor use on dimensionally stable, partially dimensionally stable and dimensionally unstable wooden components – but can also be used in interior areas due to low odor levels. The premium woodstain gives hardwoods and coniferous woods a high-quality protective layer. I

Most people spend a lot of their time indoors. That's why it's all the more important to make them decorative. Health in your home is just as important. For this purpose, the products used must be low-pollutant and low-emission and have low odor pollution.

Like Grenodecor 236. The water-based wood glaze offers great decorative quality and creates a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere. The matt gloss of the coating emphasizes the natural wood look. 

Woodstain for well-being and a natural look 

Whether it's on doors, ceiling panels or cladding, Grenodecor 236 is particularly suited to all interior wooden components. Another plus? The decorative glaze can also be used with the clearest conscience from a health perspective. For example, it is completely safe in the event of saliva and perspiration, in accordance with EN 71-3, certified with the Blue Angel and AgBB tested.

Wood is an organic, renewable material. But continuous exposure to weather requires a special, long-lasting coating to care for it. Are you looking to achieve the best visual result when designing both interior and exterior areas, while still ensuring appropriate, all-round protection for wooden acades and other wood components?

Then don't make any compromises. Our Surface Woodstain 620 and Matt woodstain 618 are specially designed to protect wooden surfaces. For those who prefer a matter, more natural wood effect, then Matt woodstain 618 is the right choice. Alternatively, our Surface Woodstain 620 ensures a great, silk gloss wood effect – and of course, both woodstains are aromatics-free.

The impact of shortwave UV radiation damages the most important components of wood: cellulose and lignin. The impact of the radiation on lignin is particularly drastic. Lignin is stored as a paste-like substance in the cell wall and ensures the stability and hardness of the wood. The high-energy UV radiation gradually breaks down the lignin.

In exterior areas: Permanent Protection Woodstain 580

Wood is a demanding building material, which is subjected to the highest levels of stress in exterior areas and therefore requires special protection. This is not just about the appearance, but above all permanently guaranteeing the function of the components. It is therefore essential to choose the correct coating. The material must

• withstand changing weather conditions
• guarantee long-term protection from UV radiation
• be resistant to embrittlement
• have optimal substrate adhesion

With the Permanent Protection Woodstain 580, Brillux has developed a wood coating that fulfills exactly these requirements – and even more than that. In addition to outstanding protection, it also provides ease of application.
