Prepare exterior timber with VIVACOLOR Villa Protekt

An exterior wood primer VIVACOLOR Villa Protekt is a 10 L alkyd-oil primer for timber surfaces outdoors. It is intended for use before an oil- or acrylic-based finish and can also be used on surfaces previously treated with oil paint. The listed colour is clear/transparent, with a matt sheen. Apply by brush or dipping.

Use and application

1. For above-ground exterior timber: Listed uses include exterior cladding, doors, window frames and fences. The timber surface should be above ground.
2. For sawn and planed wood: The primer is intended for sawn and planed timber; thermally modified timber is also listed as suitable.
3. Brush on or dip: Apply with a brush in the direction of the wood grain, or use the dipping method. Pay particular attention to the edges and end grain of timber pieces.
4. Prepare the surface first: Remove dust, dirt and loose paint, and ensure the timber is clean and dry. The application guidance specifies wood moisture below 20%.
5. Plan the finishing coat: The guidance recommends applying the finishing coat as soon as practical after priming, and no later than 6–10 months afterwards. Check that the finish is suitable for the primed surface.
