CLASSIC ~ Exterior Log Home & Timber Frame Stain

(Our most popular and successful product for protecting and enhancing your log home.)

EnvirostainNothing protects wood outside like Sansin Classic. Classic was originally engineered to protect log homes, with a three-coat penetrating formula that repels condensed water while allowing water vapor to escape. Not surprisingly, Classic works just as well on other exterior vertical surfaces, like shakes, shingles, siding and fences. Your wood will be protected with an ultra-violet (UV) and water-repellent shield of lasting and remarkable beauty. Classic is available in the full range of Sansin colors, and like all Sansin products is distinguished by ease of application and maintenance.

DEC ~ Deck Stain

EnvirostainA beautiful deck makes that weekend barbecue perfect. There is simply no better place to be. But with the BBQ, the family and the patio furniture, decks have to handle more traffic than any other wood around your house. That's why Sansin Dec is designed as a rugged two-coat formula. that penetrates deeply, protecting your deck from within. Where film-build coatings can easily peel and scratch, exposing wood to the elements, Dec provides lasting protection from rain and UV exposure.

Since decks see so much wear and tear, they need to be maintained regularly. With Dec, you can keep your deck looking beautiful with just a simple cleaning and maintenance coat. And because Sansin offers a range of 79 beautiful colors to choose from - as well as a custom color program - you can be sure of finding one that matches your deck chairs.

SDF ~ Sidings, Decks, Fences
Sansin SDF is specifically engineered to protect log homes, with a one-coat penetrating formula that repels condensed water while allowing water vapor to escape. SDF's specially formulated oils and resins penetrate into the wood, providing outstanding weather and ultra-violet (UV) protection. Thanks to SDF's unique water-borne technology, it can be applied to wood even with high moisture content - SDF lets wood "breathe", preventing moisture from getting trapped inside the logs and causing decay.
SDF also makes your home look beautiful. And like all Sansin Enviro Stains, it's not harmful to the environment. When you choose Sansin SDF, your home will be protected with a water-repellant and UV shield of lasting and remarkable beauty.

Sansin Timber-Tec

Protect your logs during and prior to construction.

G

EnvirostainSansin Timber-Tec is an industrial-strength wood primer designed to protect your logs against surface discoloration and weathering - even before they leave your yard. Sansin Timber-Tec is formulated with modified natural oils and resins, carried deep into the wood by one of nature's commonplace miracles - water. As the water evaporates, Sansin Timber-Tec bonds directly with the wood substrate for long-lasting protection. Sansin Timber-Tec bonds with your logs and timber to form a protective shield that repels condensed water, while allowing water vapor to escape - dramatically improving dimensional stability and allowing wood to adjust naturally to moisture levels in the environment.

Because Sansin Timber-Tec's unique formula lets wood 'breathe', it can be applied to green as well as seasoned timber. Using Sansin Timber-Tec means your logs will simply look better when they leave your yard. Apply Sansin Timber-Tec to your freshly-peeled logs and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing they will be protected from building through to shipping and construction.

Like all Sansin products, Timber-Tec is environmentally-friendly, non-flammable and user friendly. Now available in two transparent formulas: M-30, a colored concentrate that enhances the natural light color of freshly-peeled white wood logs; and C-20, a clear concentrate that allows wood to golden mildly.
