Deck, Fence, and Siding Stains

Woodluxe by Benjamin Moore is our go-to exterior stain line for decks, fences, and siding — oil and water-based formulas in clear, semi-transparent, and solid finishes, built to handle Alberta's freeze-thaw winters and intense summer UV. We also carry SICO SRD (formerly Sikkens Cetol SRD) and Messmer's UV Plus as alternatives, so you've got options if you've used a different stain before or prefer a specific finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which stain lasts longest on a Calgary deck?
Solid stains generally offer the most UV protection and last 3-5 years, semi-transparent stains last up to 3 years, and clear finishes need yearly reapplication but show the most wood grain. Come in and we'll help you match a finish to how much maintenance you want to do.

Should I choose Woodluxe, SICO SRD, or Messmers?
All three perform well in Calgary's climate — it often comes down to the exact finish and colour range you're after, or what you've used successfully before. Ask us for a side-by-side comparison for your specific project.
