Benjamin Moore’s Woodluxe® waterborne exterior stain represents the next generation of deck and siding protection. With over a century of paint expertise behind them, Benjamin Moore replaced the legacy Arborcoat® line—discontinued after decades of service—with Woodluxe, a premium formulation designed to deliver superior adhesion, exceptional mildew resistance, and vibrant color retention in harsh outdoor conditions.
Woodluxe is available in five transparency levels to suit your style and substrate: from crystal-clear wood-enhancing finishes to solid-color finishes that behave like premium paint. Every formula is fortified with UV absorbers and water-repellent resins to guard against weathering, cracking, and peeling year after year. The Transparent formula comes in 7 ready-to-mix colors. The Semi-Transparent and Semi-Solid formulas come in 75 available colors, while the Solid and Ultra Flat Solid come in 3,500+ available Benjamin Moore colors.
Translucent stain highlights the natural beauty of wood with a whisper of color, allowing nearly all the grain and texture to show through. It provides UV and mildew resistance, extending the life of your finish with minimal prep and maintenance.
Semi-Transparent stain balances color enhancement with wood visibility, preserving the natural grain patterns while adding subtle richness. Ideal for cedar, pine, and decks a few years old that need a color refresh without hiding texture.
Semi-Solid stain provides a durable protective layer while still allowing some wood texture to peek through—perfect for older decks and siding. It strikes a balance between concealment and natural aesthetics for lasting performance.
Solid stain offers maximum color coverage with only the wood’s surface texture visible, delivering outstanding protection against the elements. Its robust formula is designed for advanced weather resistance and long-term color retention on all wood types.
Ultra Flat Solid delivers a fully opaque, matte-finish coat that conceals surface flaws while maintaining the wood’s tactile character. Engineered for superior UV resistance and mildew protection, it’s perfect for high-traffic areas demanding a refined, flat aesthetic.
