For larger exterior timber projects that need reliable protection from the start, Sadolin Classic Natural 2.5L is a trade-grade basecoat designed to penetrate deeply and protect timber from within. It enhances the wood’s natural grain with a light, warm tone, delivering a subtle finish that preserves the authentic character of the wood.
Manufactured by Sadolin, Classic is formulated to withstand tough Irish weather. The Natural shade is ideal for fencing, sheds, gates, cladding, and garden timber where a light, genuine timber appearance is desired.
Key Features:
- Deep Penetrating Protection:
Soaks into the timber to defend against moisture ingress and weather damage.
Light, warm tone that enhances wood grain without covering its natural character.
Allows timber to expand and contract naturally while helping prevent cracking, peeling, and flaking.
Designed to be followed with Sadolin Extra for long-lasting colour and enhanced durability.
Perfect for medium-to-large projects, full fence lines, or multiple garden timber structures.

TJ’s Tip:
For best results, apply a full, even coat of Classic on bare or highly absorbent timber before finishing with Sadolin Extra. Give extra attention to end grains and joints — these areas soak up more stain and are the most vulnerable to moisture.
