Vernites Preservers & Base Protection Coats – Timber Preparation

Preservers & Base Protection Coats for Long-Term Timber Durability

Correct base preparation is one of the most important steps in professional wood coating systems.

Vernites preservers and base protection coats are designed to:

• improve adhesion of primers and top coats

• protect timber from moisture and biological risk

• enhance durability in exterior weather conditions

• provide uniform colour absorption for translucent systems

These products are used as the first coat in both painted and translucent joinery coating systems.

Exterior Painted Systems (Opaque White & Colours)

For exterior painted window and door systems, the recommended base protection coat is:

• WEB870 Preserver (White Base)

Applied before exterior primers and top coats such as WEB861 and WET885.

Ideal for exterior joinery requiring high opacity finishes.

Exterior Translucent Systems (Natural Wood Tones)

For translucent exterior finishes, choose the correct preserver depending on timber species:

• WEI852 Preserver – Softwood Applications
  Recommended for pine and softwood exterior joinery.

• WEI858 Preserver – Hardwood & Oak Applications
  Ideal for oak windows and hardwood joinery projects.

These preservers provide better colour uniformity and long-term protection under translucent top coats.
