BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS
Most deck stains look great
until next season.
Film-forming stains crack and flake. Thin penetrating oils fade in a summer and beg for constant recoats.
DuroGrit takes a different approach: patented FibreGrit® Technology bonds tough UV and wear protection to the wood in a single coat, so your weekends stop belonging to your deck.

Powered by FibreGrit® Technology
Engineered to take a beating
Sun, rain, snow, and foot traffic are what kill exterior finishes. DuroGrit is built around patented FibreGrit® Technology for strong UV and mechanical resistance, exactly where exterior wood takes the most abuse.
One coat. No wipe-off.
Finish a deck in an afternoon
Traditional exterior stains want two or three coats with drying time between each. DuroGrit needs one coat and no wipe-off step, and it dries to the touch in 1 to 3 hours. Start in the morning, put the furniture back the same day.
New or old wood
From fresh cedar to a 20-year-old deck
DuroGrit applies by brush or spray to new wood or properly prepped weathered wood. It performs on pine, cedar, and pressure-treated lumber as well as exotic hardwoods like ipe and cumaru, so one product covers every exterior surface on your property.
Color and protection in one
Earth-tone colors that let wood be wood
DuroGrit’s matte, natural colors enhance the grain instead of hiding it under a paint-like film. Browse the range, then confirm your pick with a 30 mL sample on your own boards before committing to the whole deck.
