Sikkens Cetol HLS plus - Matte Exterior Stain

Description
Give your wood a beautiful, natural look with Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus. This matte, transparent stain is designed for exterior wood surfaces. It serves as an excellent primer for dimensionally stable hardwood elements like windows and doors. Need a finishing coat? Be sure to explore the full Sikkens Cetol range, where you’ll find topcoats like Filter 7 Plus for added durability.
But that’s not all! Cetol HLS Plus can also be used as an all-in-one system (primer & finish) for garden sheds, wooden fences, and cladding.
One of its biggest advantages? You can choose from pre-mixed colours like Pine, Light Oak, and Mahogany, or opt for a custom shade from the Sikkens 5051 colour collection. Simply add a T after the colour code for a transparent effect that preserves the wood grain. This creates a subtle wash effect, reminiscent of a white wash or grey wash finish. Looking for more inspiration? Check out our stain colour inspiration page.
But how do you apply this exterior matt stain? Applying Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus is easy. Use a flat brush, like the ProGold Classic 7530, for a smooth, even coat. After 24 hours of drying time, you can safely apply the next layer. Important: This is a solvent-based stain, so be sure to clean your tools with White Spirit.
Choose Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus, a premium-quality stain from Sikkens, and enjoy long-lasting beauty and protection for your wood.
