This industry wide push will not go away and already affects many brands. Fortunately for those of you living in an area with current low-level VOC regulations, you are already accustomed to the benefits of a low VOC wood finish.<\/p>\n<p>While the DeckWise\u00ae flagship hardwood finish, Ipe Oil\u00ae, is already a low 250 g\/l VOC, in 2019 we introduced our Ipe Oil\u00ae 100 g\/l VOC hardwood finish to meet these stricter regulations. This is the same great formula, same semi-transparency, and same luxurious finish, just with a lower VOC.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone installing thermally modified wood decking or siding,&nbsp;Ipe Oil\u00ae again delivers a beautiful finish with exceptional results!<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, our WiseCoat\u00ae Premium Hardwood Deck, Siding &amp; Fence Sealer is a low 53 g\/l VOC formula. It is an environmentally friendly formula perfect for those seeking a water-based wood finish. It&#8217;s semi-transparent tint leans towards the amber side and really makes hardwood wood grains pop!<\/p>\n<p>Our WiseCoat\u00ae has true waterproofing features, is durable, and is a long-lasting hardwood (or thermally modified wood) finish. It penetrates deep to coat the microscopic wood fibers and is guaranteed to impede water intrusion for up to 10 years on vertical surfaces and 6 years on horizontal surfaces. That\u2019s pretty amazing!<\/p>\n<p>Both Ipe Oil\u00ae and WiseCoat\u00ae finishes help to prevent the harmful effects of mildew and mold, dry rot, cupping and peeling of most any hardwood specie. Each is a non-film forming formula allowing wood to age naturally and their semi-transparent tint adds UV blockers to thwart your wood from graying, while enhancing the natural wood grain.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the DeckWise\u00ae line of hardwood finishes visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deckwise.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.deckwise.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Looking for samples?
