How to Waterproof and Seal Hardwood Decking

WATER BASED • ECO-FRIENDLY • LOW VOC

DeckWise® WiseCoat® Premium Hardwood Deck, Siding & Fence Sealer is a semi-transparent, light brown waterproofing sealant expertly formulated to protect and enhance wood decking, siding, and fencing. Perfect for South American hardwoods like Ipe, Teak, Mahogany, Cumaru, and Tigerwood, as well as American hardwoods and thermally modified wood species, this sealer preserves the wood's natural beauty while providing long-lasting protection. Designed to prevent water intrusion below the wood surface, WiseCoat® offers up to four years of reliable waterproofing for both horizontal and vertical surfaces when applied as directed.

Seal Your Exotic Hardwood

For Hardwoods & Thermally Modified Woods

This water-based pre-tinted formula utilizes proprietary technology to create a long-lasting breathable barrier against caustic conditions and harsh weather. By coating the hardwood fibers at the cellular level, WiseCoat® provides protection from the inside out preventing cracking and splitting of the wood.

The unique formula absorbs deeply, inhibiting water intrusion by penetrating the hardwood surface. WiseCoat® helps prevent the damaging effects of wood decay. As a non-film forming premium wood waterproofing sealer, it allows hardwoods to age naturally. WiseCoat® includes a light brown semi-transparent tint that functions as a UV blocker to prevent the wood from graying while enhancing the natural grain and texture.

SEMI-TRANSPARENT TINT

Enhance Both Dark & Light Color Hardwoods with WiseCoat®

WiseCoat® Premium Hardwood Deck, Siding & Fence Sealer has a rich light brown semi-transparent tint which helps to enhance, preserve and protect the natural beauty of your wood including protection from harmful UV rays. The additional UV blockers present in our tint help prevent wood graying as the pigment particles penetrate deeply into the wood surface for a durable color.

As a water-based tint, WiseCoat® provides an even stain-like color and will not absorb unevenly into the hardwood surface. Our proprietary semi-transparent tint formula will enhance the natural wood grain without masking its natural beauty or drastically changing the color of the woods surface.

Hardwoods come in varying degrees of colors, grain patterns and overall beauty aspects. South American hardwoods are noted for their rich deep natural wood color from dark to light as well as unique wood grain patterns. Some hardwoods are darker such as Ipe and Cumaru with yellow hues and others have a red hue such as the velvety red Massaranduba specie.

Garapa, Tigerwood, Teak, and Jatoba have a lighter wood color along with their own unique wood grain patterns. This is also true with American thermally modified wood such as American Ash, Pine, Oak, Spruce and others. Depending on the thermally modified wood manufacturer, these woods can be either dark or light due to the particular thermo modification process.

We suggest always testing wood preservative products prior to application. Call DeckWise® at 866-427-2547 to receive a sample to ensure your expected results are acceptable

Important Guidelines:

The final color and finish of all WiseCoat® products are influenced by various factors such as wood color, species, age, and condition.

While DeckWise® strives for consistency in WiseCoat® tinted products, occasional color variations may arise between made-up products and pre-mixed samples.
