Facade and exterior wood varnish that breathes — not seals.

Wood is a living material — actual colour depends on species, grain density, and substrate age. Each shade you see here is a reference. Our specialists confirm the final match with you before specification.

Two shade-specific caveats apply per manufacturer TDS: 002 Colourless contains no UV-protective pigment — use it where colour preservation is the goal, not weathering protection; 202 White is specified for sheltered exterior surfaces only (eaves, soffits, deep-veranda timber), not sun-exposed elevations. All pigmented shades carry UV-screening mineral pigment density that stabilises Indian hardwoods across monsoon cycles. Beyond the 12 ready-mix, any NCS or RAL code is tintable at our Delhi lab.

1. 01

   Prepare the substrate — dry, sound, clean, grease-free, dust-free, absorbent. Sand to 120 grit in the direction of the grain. Wipe with a lint-free cloth. Surface and ambient temperature above 15 °C, no rain forecast 48 h ahead. Avoid direct midday sun on the application surface.

   
2. 02

   Prime absorbent timber with LEINOS Wood Primer 150 — required for untreated/absorbent softwood (pine, cedar, spruce). Brush one coat in the direction of the grain. Let dry 12–16 hours before topcoat. Skip primer for dense pre-treated hardwood with intact previous finish.

   
3. 03

   Apply the first coat of 260 — stir thoroughly before brushing (pigments and oils settle). Brush evenly in the direction of the grain. Spread thin: no puddles, no excess pooling. One pass per board. Coverage approx. 135–180 sq ft per litre per coat.

   
4. 04

   Recoat after 16–24 hours of drying (longer at high humidity — 24–36 h in active monsoon). Apply second coat in the same grain direction. Sufficient ventilation throughout cure. No sanding required between coats.

   
5. 05

   Apply the third thin coat for weather-facing surfaces — manufacturer-recommended for south- and west-facing windows, doors, and cladding under direct Indian sun. Three thin coats outperform two thick coats: better penetration, better UV-pigment density, longer service life.

   
6. 06

   Cure and protect — surface workable after 24 hours, full cure 7–14 days. Protect from rain and dew during the cure window. Dispose of oil-soaked rags in a sealed metal container or under water — spontaneous combustion risk.
