Lacq Produra Wood Stain & Protector - Premium Water-Based Woodstain for Treated & Untreated Exterior Wood

• Stain and protect timber in one product — no separate primer, stain, or topcoat required

• Apply to both treated and untreated exterior wood including fencing, sheds, garden furniture, cladding, and pergolas

• Use a fast-drying wood stain (recoatable in 6 hours) that allows 2–3 coats to be applied in a single day or over a weekend

• Choose from 12 designer colours with a translucent finish that enhances the natural wood grain

• Use a premium eco-friendly water-based formula with very low VOC and vegetable oil that is gentler on the environment

• Apply a long-lasting flexible protective film that won't crack, peel, or blister in harsh British weather

• Use professional-grade wood protection from Lacq (150 years of Dutch wood care expertise)

• Apply additional coats after full cure — once fully cured, Produra forms a protective barrier that prevents additional coats from adhering. All coats must be applied before full cure in the same session or weekend

• Apply in temperatures below 5°C (minimum application temperature 5°C)

• Apply to wet or damp timber — wood must be clean and dry before application

• Achieve a solid opaque finish — Produra is a translucent stain that enhances the natural grain (not a solid colour paint)

Lacq Produra Wood Stain & Protector is a premium water-based woodstain and protector in one, developed by Lacq's Dutch wood care experts with 150 years of coating innovation. Unlike budget wood stains that sit on the surface and quickly peel or fade, Produra's unique water and vegetable oil formulation penetrates deep into the wood, nourishing it from within and creating a flexible, UV-resistant protective film that won't crack, peel, or blister — even in harsh British weather conditions.

Suitable for both treated and untreated timber, Produra combines staining and protection in a single product — eliminating the need for a separate primer, stain, and topcoat. Apply to fencing, sheds, garden furniture, cladding, pergolas, and verandas for a premium translucent finish that enhances the natural wood grain and colour.

⚠️ Important — Apply All Coats Before Full Cure: Produra forms a highly effective protective barrier as it fully cures. Once fully cured, this barrier prevents additional coats from adhering correctly. You must plan your project to apply all 2–3 coats within the same session or weekend, before full cure is reached. Do not apply a single coat and return weeks later to add more — all coats must be applied in sequence before the product fully cures. This is what makes Produra such an outstanding long-term protector — but it requires planning your application correctly from the start.

Fast-drying formula means dust dry and recoatable in just 6 hours at 20°C — making it possible to apply 2–3 coats in a single day or over a weekend. Apply 2–3 coats on new or untreated wood for maximum protection. Apply with the grain by brush, roller, or spray. Coverage of approximately 16 m² per litre.

Available in 12 designer colours — Natural, Brown, Teak, White, Old Grey, Grey, Anthracite, Black, Olive, Green Clay, White Clay, and Blue Clay — in 1 litre, 2.5 litre, and 20 litre pack sizes. Translucent finish enhances the natural wood grain rather than masking it. Non-yellowing thanks to a highly resistant UV filter. Minimum application temperature 5°C.

Water-based with vegetable oil — very low VOC, non-flammable, and eco-friendly. Gentler on the environment and the user than solvent-based alternatives. Shelf life 2 years unopened, stored frost-free between 5°C and 35°C.

Developed in the Netherlands and trusted by homeowners, professional woodworkers, and contractors across the UK for premium exterior wood protection.

Coverage: Approx. 16 m² per litre (substrate-dependent)

Per Tin Coverage:
• 1 litre (£23.99): Covers approx. 16 m² per coat
• 2.5 litres (£49.99): Covers approx. 40 m² per coat

Coverage varies depending on wood porosity and condition. New, untreated, or porous timber will absorb more product and require more per coat. Apply thin, even coats for consistent coverage.

Important: Apply 2–3 coats on new or untreated wood. Apply all coats before full cure — once fully cured, Produra forms a protective barrier that prevents additional coats from adhering. Plan your project to apply all coats within the same session or weekend.

Example Calculations (3 coats on new wood):

Small Fence (20 m² surface area):
• Coverage needed: 60 m² (3 coats)
• Product required: Approx. 4 litres
• Recommended: Two 2.5 L tins

Medium Fence (50 m² surface area):
• Coverage needed: 150 m² (3 coats)
• Product required: Approx. 9–10 litres
• Recommended: Four 2.5 L tins

Large Project (100 m² surface area):
• Coverage needed: 300 m² (3 coats)
• Product required: Approx. 19–20 litres
• Recommended: Eight 2.5 L tins

For accurate project planning, measure your total timber surface area and multiply by the number of coats required. Order 10% extra for surface variation and porosity. Recoatable in 6 hours — plan to apply all coats in the same session or weekend before full cure.

⚠️ Critical — Apply All Coats Before Full Cure:

Produra forms a highly effective protective barrier as it fully cures. Once fully cured, this barrier prevents additional coats from adhering correctly. You must plan your project to apply all 2–3 coats within the same session or weekend, before full cure is reached. Do not apply a single coat and return weeks later to add more — all coats must be applied in sequence before the product fully cures.

Surface Preparation:

• Ensure timber is clean, dry, and free from dirt, algae, mould, loose paint, and contamination
• Remove any loose or flaking existing coatings by sanding or scraping
• Lightly sand smooth or weathered surfaces to open the grain and improve absorption
• Wipe away dust and debris before application
• Test on a small hidden area first to confirm desired colour and absorption
• Timber must be completely dry before application — do not apply to wet or damp wood

Mixing:

• Stir Produra thoroughly before use
• Stir periodically during application to maintain consistency

Application:

• Apply in dry conditions with temperatures above 5°C for optimal drying and absorption
• Apply by brush, roller, or spray — always apply with the grain
• Apply thin, even coats — do not overload the surface
• Work product into the timber surface for maximum penetration and absorption
• Coverage: Approx. 16 m² per litre per coat

First Coat:
• Apply first coat evenly with the grain
• Allow to dry for minimum 6 hours before applying second coat

Second Coat:
• Apply second coat evenly with the grain
• Allow to dry for minimum 6 hours before applying third coat (if required)

Third Coat (recommended on new or untreated wood):
• Apply third coat evenly with the grain
• Allow to dry fully

⚠️ All coats must be applied before full cure. Do not leave the project between sessions — plan to complete all coats in the same day or weekend.

Drying Times (at 20°C):

• Dust dry: 6 hours
• Recoatable: 6 hours
• Full cure: Approx. 24 hours

Drying times may be extended in cooler temperatures or high humidity.

• Finish / Texture: Translucent, flexible stain
• Base: Water & vegetable oil (low-solvent)
• Available Colours: Natural, Brown, Teak, White, Old Grey, Grey, Anthracite, Black, Olive, Green Clay, White Clay, Blue Clay
