Cetol Filter 7 Plus is the go-to choice for those seeking both aesthetics and durability in exterior wood protection. In this guide, you’ll discover its origin, key benefits, pricing, where to buy it, and how to apply it properly.

📜 History and Origin of Cetol Filter 7 Plus

Developed by Sikkens, a flagship brand of the AkzoNobel group, the original Cetol Filter 7 is a premium finishing wood stain designed to withstand the most demanding weather conditions. Its formula includes integrated UV filters that extend the natural beauty of wood while protecting it from external damage. In 2010, the “Plus” designation was added to most Sikkens stains to indicate a reformulation compliant with the new 2010 VOC regulations. Recently, the “Plus” has been removed from the label of some products, such as Cetol Filter 7, without changing the formula.

🌟 Why Choose Cetol Filter 7?

This product is highly recommended by both professionals and DIYers due to its outstanding features:

Enhanced UV protection: prevents wood from greying due to sun exposure.
Premium satin finish: highlights the natural grain of the wood.
Excellent adhesion: ideal as a topcoat after applying a base layer.
Easy maintenance: no need for full sanding during upkeep.
Long-lasting protection: up to 7 years of durability depending on exposure.
