DEFY-ColorTipsDEFAULTNano-Technology Improves Stain Performance 200-600%

SaverSystems has joint ventured with several companies to develop a new long lasting stain technology.  Our research efforts over the last year and a half have lead Project_buttonto a new development in the performance of exterior, semi-transparent wood finishes to protect your deck.

A newly developed nano-technology used in combination with our existing technology has been found to significantly increase the durability and weather resistance of our synthetic resin based deck stains. This new light stabilizing nano-technology actually works by blocking and absorbing the harmful UV rays from the sun that damage your wood.

Not only does this new technology help prevent wood from graying it also helps prevent water intrusion while resisting  fungal growth. The independent test results are in, and below are photo’s of the actual test boards which show how the new DEFY Extreme new technology stacks up against the best selling national brands.

Defy Extreme Wood Stain utilizes Nano Particles (Similar to Sunscreen) and High Grade Synthetic Resins. When combined they will reflect the sun and provide UV protection that has never been seen in a Tinted Wood Finish. This is a First in the Industry

Defy Extreme Wood Stain can be used on interior or exterior smooth hardwood surfaces including: wood siding, decks, outdoor wood furniture, and other hardwood surfaces.

Defy Extreme - Wood Stain:

  • Utilizing Nano-Particles and Synthetic Resins. Nano Light-Stabilizers block the sun's harmful UV rays preventing graying
  • Nano particles help prevent mold and algae
  • Semi-Transparent wood finish adds color and protection to your wood
  • Stains and seals your wood from water penetration
  • Water-Based with easy soap and water cleanup
  • VOC Compliant and Eco-Friendly formula
  • Leading protection that will outperform all tinted transparent wood stains

I'd like to order samples of Defy Extreme. I have a PT deck horizontal surface (20 yrs old) and all vertical posts and seating is cedar wood. What should I use to prep both surfaces, and what color(s) in Defy would you recommend for both the cedar and PT parts?

Are you affiliated with TWP at all?
Thanks.

Samples are here:

Any color that you like will work. Prep with the Defy Wood Cleaner and then the Defy Wood Brightener.

TWP and Defy are made by two completely different manufacturers and are not related.

I do not need waterproofing only severe UV protection. The door faces west and gets extremely hot. I have a storm door infront of it - they both are arched so changing out the glass to UV would be costly). Is Defy Extreme going to penatrate the wood and last, or in all honesty would a oil-base semi-transparent deck stain be better.

Sorry but the Defy is not designed for this type of application.

Vertical redwood posts. We have a TimberTech composite deck with natural redwood vertical posts for the cable railing system. The deck will be 2 years old this fall (2017), so I'm planning to clean and apply Crystal Clear Extreme. From the product data sheets, I'm planning to use the Wood Brightener to avoid any discoloration that is described with the Wood Cleaner. Is this the recommended method? Are there special precautions or cleanup necessary for spillage on the TimberTech or the stainless steel cables? Thanks.

Correct on using both the cleaner and the brightener for the prep of the posts. No concerns on the Timbetech, just rinse well with water when done.

4 years ago I stained my log house using Cabot Heartwood toner. It worked OK and still looks presentable. I plan on using a deck cleaner to kill some black mildew that has formed, and pressure wash it clean. The wood was treated with a borate solution, so is impervious to wood eating insects. If I want to use the Devy Extreme Redwood stain, is it necessary to completely strip off the old toner? That's a ton of work I'd prefer to avoid if necessary. Also, what is the best way to apply the stain? Thanks.

Yes you will need to remove the Cabot it use a different stain like the Defy. Apply the stain with a stain sprayer and a stain pad applicator.

Question 2 - How to remove drip stains from the concrete pad that the aforementioned deck is sitting on?

You should not apply a second now. Wait until Fall, lightly clean and apply the second coat. Removing the stain out of concrete is not easy to do. Try a graffiti remover from your local store and a pressure washer.

Teardrop camper
I used Extreme clear on the outside of my newly built camper and I have been finishing the inside with the same plywood and would like to use it inside as well. Is it safe to use in the interior where we sleep?

RE: Defy Extreme 1 Gallon
I live in SW Georgia and am putting in a new deck with pressure treated yellow wood. How long should I wait before staining,and what stain should I use? We have high humidity and the sun cooks. Thanks

Defy Extreme
Are two coats of Deft Extreme usually recommended for an older deck that is in good condition?

re: biowash stain
You would need to remove the Biowash first with a stain stripper followed by a wood brightener.

biowash stain
I have used bio wash natural deck oil, on treated wood. Can defy extreme stain be applied on top of it? What prep would be needed?

re: Older Deck
I would use the Extreme for this and it would work well. Make sure clean and brighten the wood first.

Older Deck
I recently purchased a house with wood deck. I have no idea what wood the deck is made of and I am guessing it is about 10 years old. Would the extreme be a good choice to use or would you recommend a different product? Thanks.

re: New Cedar Fence
The board come smooth on one side. Can you explain more detail why need to wait few months for smooth wood before stain?
If it is rough, do I clean and brighten before stain?

re: New Cedar Fence
If the cedar fence is "rough" wood then you can stain right away. If smooth then you need to let it weather for 3+ months then clean and brighten for the prep.

New Cedar Fence
Building new fence with horizontal frence board on both side of the post so there is hidden side of wood. Wanted to stain with Extreme on all surface of board for protection which mean staining before installation. Question is do I need to wait before staining new cedar (non-treated)? Do I need to clean and brighten before stain? Staining board individually will take time but doable. However cleaning and brightening individual board seems impossible. Any suggestion? What would be the effect if I stain the new wood without doing the prep?

re: New pressure treated wood
Jim, for pressure treated wood you would want the Defy Extreme. Please read this about new decks:

re: How many gallons do we need?
2 gallons should cover 200 sq. feet for the 2 coats when applied wet on wet. If you have railings and steps then you need to add that sq. footage into the total.
