What Is Sikkens Paint?
Sikkens Paint is a brand of paint produced and sold by an art material manufacturer headquartered in the Netherlands.
It was developed by Sikkens in 1792 and is used worldwide. Their wood paints are the most commonly used, but their product line includes paint for vehicles such as airplanes, space shuttles, and cars, as well as other applications.
Sikkens paint is used not only as a decorative surface coating, but also to prevent oxidation and provide water resistance, protecting surfaces and prolonging the lifespan of products.
Uses for Sikkens Paint
Sikkens paint is often used to minimize the deterioration of log homes, which are made entirely of wood.
Building exteriors are exposed to wind and rain, so if no maintenance is performed, regular paint needs to be reapplied approximately every two months. But Sikkens paint requires maintenance as infrequently as every three years, sometimes even less.
Known for its superb ability to protect surfaces, Sikkens paint is trusted and used by professional contractors.
Principles of Sikkens Paint
Wood protective paints sold at home improvement stores are often diluted with a specific liquid before application. But these coatings tend to evaporate quickly, requiring multiple applications and subpar surface protection.
Sikkens paint can be used without being diluted, allowing it to penetrate the wood and protect the surface.
