Some hardwoods like bangkirai, meranti, acacia or red balau, are not light brown, but dark-brown or red-brown. For these hardwoods, the use of our red-brown coloured hardwood protector maintains the natural, red-brown colour of tropical hardwoods for longer. After applying this Hardwood Protector, we strongly recommend treating the surface with our Teak & Hardwood Shield to prevent stains.
