Lazur Stain

Lazur stain is a special type of wood stain designed to protect and enhance wooden surfaces. Generally water-based, it penetrates deeply into the wood, providing long-lasting protection against moisture, UV rays, and other harmful elements. Lazur stain not only adds colour but also preserves the natural appearance of the wood, giving it a vibrant and attractive finish.

Tip from the Paint Expert

For treating Douglas wood, use lazur stain. This type of stain not only protects deeply but also adds a rich colour to the wood, allowing the natural grain to remain beautifully visible.

Lazur for Douglas Wood

Lazur stain is ideal for treating Douglas wood, thanks to the unique characteristics of both the stain and the wood itself. Naturally, Douglas wood is highly resistant to moisture and insects, making it perfect for outdoor structures. The deep-penetrating formula of lazur stain complements this natural protection. It creates a breathable layer that prevents moisture issues while blocking UV rays. Additionally, lazur preserves the visual appeal of Douglas wood, ensuring that its distinctive grain and colour remain beautifully visible.

Transparent Lazur

Transparent lazur is a clear stain specifically designed to retain the natural texture and colour of wood while offering protection. The first layer penetrates deeply into the wood, providing excellent adhesion and forming a strong barrier against moisture. This deep penetration strengthens the wood and extends the lifespan of treated surfaces. Subsequent layers of transparent lazur play a crucial role in offering long-term protection against UV light, greying, and exposure to weather conditions. This ensures that the wood maintains its natural beauty over time, making it perfect for applications where the authentic look of wood is desired, such as outdoor structures exposed to the elements.

How Many Coats of Lazur?

For a transparent finish, we recommend applying three coats to bare wood. The first coat penetrates the wood, ensuring strong adhesion and offering initial moisture protection. Subsequent coats help safeguard the wood’s natural beauty. For coloured stains, two coats are usually sufficient. The first layer serves as a colour base, while the second coat acts as a protective top layer.

Advantages of Lazur Stain

Lazur stain offers several significant benefits, making it an excellent choice for protecting and enhancing wood. Firstly, it provides effective protection against environmental factors such as rain, UV rays, and temperature variations, helping to extend the lifespan of wooden structures. It also enhances the natural appearance of wood, allowing the beautiful grain and texture to remain visible. Additionally, lazur stain dries quickly and is easy to apply, making it ideal for both DIY and professional use.

• Neutral sheen
• Natural aesthetic
• Visible wood grain
• Available in any colour
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Excellent protection

Disadvantages of Lazur Stain

While lazur stain offers many advantages, there are some drawbacks to consider. One key downside is that it requires regular maintenance. Exposure to weather conditions can cause lazur stain to wear over time, necessitating reapplication for continued protection. Additionally, transparent finishes might offer less colour retention compared to opaque stains, meaning the wood’s natural colour may fade over time.

• Requires multiple coats for transparent finishes
• Generally thinner than conventional stains
• At least two coats are necessary
• Colours fade after a few years

Water-Based or Solvent-Based Lazur?

Lazur stains are available in water-based variants like Remmers HK Lazur, which are eco-friendly and have a quick drying time. These are ideal for those who prefer less chemically intense products and can be easily cleaned with water. On the other hand, solvent-based lazur stains often provide stronger protective qualities and better resistance to extreme weather. Solvent-based stains tend to deliver deeper colour and gloss, making them a popular choice for users seeking a long-lasting and durable finish.
