Resene Woodsman Whitewash: for new or weathered exterior timber

There are some looks that just ‘vibe’ with the general population; that become associated not only with a style or region but with a deeply inherent feeling that is somehow right, regardless of location.

One such look is the whitewash effect – imparting a subtly sophisticated finish while celebrating the natural beauty of the timber being stained.

Resene Woodsman Whitewash was developed as a cost-effective, easy-to-apply solution to achieving that semi-transparent, soft rustic look, which is often accompanied by perennially popular adjectives such as ‘beachy’, ‘coastal’ and ‘Scandi’.

Woodsman Whitewash is a waterborne, non-film forming penetrating wood oil stain designed to achieve whitewash and greywash effects on new or weathered exterior timbers such as fences, trellis, planter boxes, weatherboards and retaining walls.

Eco Choice Aotearoa approved, Woodsman Whitewash is a low-VOC, low-sheen finish that offers fast drying (four hours), quick recoating (24 hours) and excellent mould resistance. It also requires minimal surface preparation to create a genuine, natural rustic look.

Also available is the Resene Woodsman Wash, a tintable base that, as well as whitewash and greywash effects, can be tinted to any of the colours available from the We Speak Beach range of hues.

To recreate the look inside, use Resene Colorwood Whitewash on new or existing varnished interior timbers. Additionally exterior timber furniture, especially pine and other light hued timbers can be whitewashed using Resene Timber and Furniture Gel.

The Resene range of whitewash finishes includes Woodsman Whitewash for exterior use and Colorwood Whitewash for interior timbers.
