Bring Out the Natural Beauty of Wood

Why Benjamin Moore Woodluxe™
Woodluxe™ stains use advanced resins and colorants to deliver superior penetration, even coverage, and easy maintenance. With options from transparent to solid, you can choose how much of the wood’s natural grain you want to show. These products resist cracking, peeling, and blistering — making them ideal for Tennessee’s seasonal weather changes.
