Nano-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 to 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.

Location: Lawrenceville, Ga Stain: Defy Natural Pine Prep: None Wood/Age: Pressure Treated Pine # of Coats: 2 Excellent ? product - 1 Gallon covered entire 12×14 deck 2× ? Natural Pine is Golden and Rich, doesn't look like paint on wood. Looks like Harwood floors with a Semi -Matte appearance. We hand painted our platform Brush/Roller and it was quick and easy. If you hand paint don't skip around. Paint one plank at a time end to end. Also Dry time was quick - no smells- water like consistentcy goes far. Clean- up with Soap/Water. Wish I could post the pictures! Thank you

We will reply to your comment shortly.· 10/24/2020Is it acceptable to mix Extreme for Hardwoods with Extreme used for pine? I have a project with just enough product to finish if I mix the two. Would this change the appearance? Does the Hardwood variant come out darker/lighter? Thanks

We will reply to your comment shortly.I have a new green treated deck that is 4 months old and want to treat it in the spring. i like the natural look. What stain or product would you recommend I use? Thank you!
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Any colors that you like in the Extreme line will work. Make sure to prep using the Defy Wood Cleaner and the Defy Brightener.

We will reply to your comment shortly.I have a cedar deck which we're sanding down to bare wood. How much square footage does of a gallon of extreme cover ? Then because it looks like you recommend 2 coats I guess I should double that ?? Also, Iv'e been online researching and some products say stain and sealer. Would this be considered the same ?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.About 100-150 Sq feet for two coats. Defy is a stain and sealer. All deck stains are sealers.

We will reply to your comment shortly.Recommendations say that new wood should not get wet on wet (2 coats). What qualifies as new? My pressure treated deck was installed March of this year, so it has aged 6 months.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Anything under 12 months. See here for tips: https://www.defystainhelp.com/prep-new-wood-for-defy-stains/

We will reply to your comment shortly.I have a 3 year old deck with pressure treated wood. I don't know remember what the builder used for stain or sealant. Most of it is gone but not all. The hand rails I had done a year ago and paint contractor used Sherwin Williams Super Deck but is now starting to peel. What do I need to do to prepare this to apply the DEFY Semi-Transparent Stain. This receives sun all day and so far neither of the two used before has held up. Please advise how to prepare and how long does this product last in all day sun as my deck wraps all the way around the house so a lot of deck. Endurance and longevity is what I am looking for. Thanks

We will reply to your comment shortly.How many coats of Defy Extreme would you recommend for 5 year old Poplar board and batton that has not be stained or treated yet. Also, how often do you recommend reapplying stain to wood siding?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.2 coats applied wet on wet. Redo vertical siding every 3-6 years or as needed.

We will reply to your comment shortly.I am preparing to stain a shed that was originally treated with Sansin water repellant wood sealer (no stain). Can I start with the cleaner and then the brightener before staining or do I need to strip the sealer off?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Strip and brighten for prep is correct.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.I have 250sq. ft of smooth horizontal cedar siding that hasn't been stained for about 10 years. It doesn't get a ton of sun, so it does get mold on the surface. I'm planning on cleaning with Defy Wood Deck Cleaner, then the Defy Wood Brightener. For smooth cedar in a high mold environment, should I use Defy Extreme or Defy Hardwood?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Use the Defy Extreme.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Can I prep and stain the same day? If not, how long do I have to wait after prep before staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Cannot be the same day. Wait 48 hours to dry after prep.

We will reply to your comment shortly.My Daughter has a ceder deck that was built 3 years ago. They stained it with Behr semi transparent latex stain and it peeled. The next year they stripped it and reapplied the same product and it peeled again.
Should they use Defy Extreme or Extreme for hardwoods? Would every bit of the old stain have to be removed? This deck is in the sun all day would an oil based product be better?
Thank You-
We will reply to your comment shortly.You must remove all of the Behr. Use the Defy Hardwood Stain.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.I used the epoxy fortified natural pine years ago it’s worked great. I want to change to driftwood gray what product would attach without peeling now
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.You will have to use the Defy Stripper and then the Defy Brightener for prep first.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.So what do we do if as you say we over applied
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.If it does not dry correctly after a week or two you would need to sand/strip it all off and start over. If it does dry you may run the risk if it peeling down the road in a year or two due to the over application. You would have to strip/sand and remove it then.

We will reply to your comment shortly.Bare older pressure wood deck sat from last years stain removal and cleaning and brightening. We sanded cleaned and brightened again. Wood soaked up stain we applied 3 coat. Now 3 days later it still seems tacky in the mornings. By afternoon when sun hits it seems to be okay. Did we mess up putting 3 coats of wet application on? Love the driftwood color.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Yes, you over applied and this will probably lead to product failure. Defy is a penetrating stain so it is supposed to fully soak in.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.The directions for applying the Extreme semitransparent stain say not to apply in direct sunlight. Virtually none of our deck is in the shade. Do we need to wait for an overcast day or by direct sunlight do you mean directly overhead like between 10:00 and 2:00?
Thanks-
We will reply to your comment shortly.You do not want to apply on a hot full sun day. Best to do in am or late afternoon when the sun is not directly overhead.

We will reply to your comment shortly.I have a 20 year old redwood deck that has been stained with Behr transparent redwood stain. I have just sanded all the horizontal surfaces. Do I need to treat this with anything before staining? Which stain would you recommend to bring out the natural wood tones? Something that doesn't have to be stripped or sanded off but can just be reapplied as needed would be great. Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Defy Extreme in the semi-transparent can be cleaned and reapplied as needed. It does not have to be stripped or sanded. After sanding a deck, use the Defy Wood Cleaner for the final prep. Just one coat of the Defy Stain.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Can this product be applied over "DEFY wood oil for decks" in the future?. We have the cedar tone of the wood oil currently on our deck, but it looks like you don't sell the deck oil anymore.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Strip and brighten for prep and then yes.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.I m getting a new deck with regular pressured wood, not cedar. I want to use clear stain. Do i need to still bleach clean deck or can i just let it cure, as suggested. How long do i let it sit before staining. Does your product have to be sealed
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Weather for 3 months and then clean and brighten. You cannot apply a sealer over the Defy.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Do you offer solid color? I only see semi-transparent ...

We will reply to your comment shortly.Can you tell me the difference between Extreme Semi-Transparent Crystal Clear and your Extreme Transparent Exterior Wood stain in crystal clear?
I have a new deck and I want to preserve the color of the kiln dried pine without graying.
Also, when the time comes, can I re-coat as necessary without stripping first?-
We will reply to your comment shortly.They are the same. You can clean and recoat as needed.

We will reply to your comment shortly.We have a cedar pergola, trim, and columns that still have that nice honey color. If we apply clear stain will we be able to maintain the same color of cedar?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.No, you will need a tinted color for adequate UV protection.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Is there anything that we could add to the clear stain to add more UV protection ? Also, oil stain sinks deeper into the wood, is it only youR Oil stain that that isn t as good for mildew or is it all deck stains?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.Choose one of the Extreme colors instead of the Clear if you want UV protection. Defy is not oil based. Defy does not have issues with mold or mildew.

We will reply to your comment shortly.Does Defy Wood Stain Clear leave wood with a "wet look"?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly.The Clear will not enhance the color or change the appearance of the wood. Natural Pine tint would be closest to a wet look color.
