How about this porch sittin' weather we're having, friends? Enjoy your porch longer, by protecting it with Benjamin Moore Woodluxe.

When it comes to protecting and beautifying outdoor wood surfaces, homeowners in Atlanta face a unique set of challenges due to the region's diverse and often extreme weather conditions. From the hot, humid summers to occasional frosty winters, wood surfaces like decks, fences, and outdoor furniture need high-quality protection to maintain their appearance and durability. That’s where Benjamin Moore Woodluxe comes into play.

Like Atlanta, Fayetteville and its surrounding areas are characterized by fluctuating temperatures and high humidity levels. So I’ve put together a list of how Benjamin Moore Woodluxe stands out as the best wood stain for these conditions:

Why Benjamin Moore Woodluxe is Ideal for Atlanta Weather Conditions

1. Superior Moisture Protection

Atlanta experiences heavy rainfall, especially during summer thunderstorms. This can lead to water absorption in unprotected wood, which can eventually cause warping, cracking, and rot. Benjamin Moore Woodluxe is formulated to offer excellent moisture resistance, sealing the wood's surface and preventing water from seeping in.

2. UV Resistance for Harsh Sunlight

Georgia's hot summers come with intense UV rays that can fade, discolor, and weaken wood over time. Woodluxe contains UV inhibitors that protect wood from sun damage, ensuring that it retains its color and structural integrity for longer periods.

3. Mildew and Mold Resistance

With high humidity and frequent rain, mold and mildew growth are common concerns for homeowners in Atlanta. Benjamin Moore Woodluxe includes fungicides that help prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and algae, keeping your outdoor surfaces looking pristine year-round.

4. Flexibility in Extreme Temperatures

Atlanta sees both sweltering heat in summer and, occasionally, colder temperatures in winter. Woodluxe has superior flexibility, allowing it to expand and contract with the wood as temperatures change. This prevents cracking and peeling, which is often a problem with inferior wood stains.

5. Durable and Long-lasting Finish

Whether you're staining a deck or outdoor furniture, you want a product that will last. Woodluxe offers an extremely durable finish that can withstand daily wear and tear, foot traffic, and the elements. This means less maintenance over time, saving you both time and money.

Regarding design, each project is unique. We know color matters to you and at Revere Paints, we want you to be happy with your finished project. While we can help you in-store choose the perfect color, here are some color tips and information about Benjamin Moore Woodluxe that may help you start planning you project before you get to the store.

Woodluxe offers 4 opacities. Opacity is the degree to which a stain reveals the natural grain of the wood. 

1. Translucent: Allows the full beautify of the wood to show through, and is available in 7 ready-mix colors.

2. Semi-Transparent: Allows most of the grain pattern and texture of the wood to show through. Available in 75 colors.

3. Semi-Solid: Allows the texture and some of the grain pattern of the wood to show through. Available in 75 colors.

4. Solid: Allows the texture of the wood to show through. This opacity is only available in Woodluxe water-based formulas. Available in 3,500 + Benjamin Moore colors. Ask me about custom tints as well.
