Sansin SDF – One-Coat Protection for Wood Siding, Decks & Fences
Sansin SDF (Siding, Deck, Fence) is a penetrating, environmentally friendly wood finish designed to protect exterior wood surfaces with just one coat. Known for its exceptional durability, rich color saturation, and natural matte appearance, Sansin SDF is a go-to solution for protecting wood while maintaining its natural beauty. Whether you’re finishing a new deck, restoring old siding, or refreshing a fence, Sansin SDF delivers professional-grade performance with lasting results.What is Sansin SDF?
Sansin SDF is a water-borne penetrating stain that protects wood from moisture, UV damage, and fungal decay. Unlike surface film-forming finishes, SDF penetrates deep into the wood grain, reinforcing from within while allowing the surface to breathe. This reduces common issues like blistering, peeling, or flaking. SDF is ideal for use on:- Wood siding
- Decks
- Fences
- Log homes and timber structures
- Pergolas, railings, and more
Sansin SDF Applications
SDF is suitable for both new and weathered wood. Proper surface preparation is critical—remove dirt, grey wood fibers, or mill glaze for best absorption. A wood cleaner or brightener is often recommended before application. Application tips:- Apply with brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer
- Back-brush thoroughly to ensure even penetration
- Only one coat is typically required
- Apply a second coat within 30–60 minutes if deeper color is desired
How Long Does Sansin SDF Last?
Sansin SDF offers long-lasting protection with easy maintenance. Here’s what to expect:- Vertical surfaces (siding/fence): 5–6 years
- Horizontal surfaces (decks): 2–4 years
