2020 Update on Why Defy Water Based Stains Are Better

We love hearing from our customers who have used the Defy Stains or have questions on the application. We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.

In recent years water based stains have advanced far beyond their predecessors. It used to be that oil based stains were the go to stain formula for all types of exterior wood projects. Oil based stains have had their place in the market, in fact they have been around longer than any other type of stain. However, the latest water based stain technology has something to say about that. Many support the claim that water based stains are better and here’s why.

Although oil stains do a fairly decent job of providing weather protection they are far from being environmentally friendly. There is no way to make them as eco-safe as water based stains are. There are some states that have banned the sale and use of oil based stains completely because they are not VOC compliant. This is just one reason why water based stains are better but it does not stop there.
