Penofin — The World’s Finest Wood Finish
Penofin fine wood finishes began over 30 years and have always been committed to the environment. Penofin are a family-owned company that proudly manufacture in the USA. They use Brazilian Rosewood oil harvested from seed, carefully gathered, and then pressed and purified. This natural base creates a stain that preserves wood longer. This approach does not harm the environment and, best of all, the trees that drop the seeds are never cut. The oil is the essential ingredient in Penofin, and no other wood-finishing product contains this unique oil.
Penofin formed the first transparent stain to gain a 90%-plus ultraviolet protection. This breakthrough retards oxidation in wood, creating new ways to protect wood.
Penofin is perfect for decks, siding, fences, gazebos, log homes, antiques, floors, countertops, furniture, docks, boats, cabinets, and all other exterior and interior wood applications.
Below are details on their exteriors — Blue Label Penofin, Ultra Premium Penofin — and their interior/exterior Penofin Verde. We stock the Blue Label Penofin in quarts, gallons and fives and are able to order their other exterior and interior products on request.
Barbara Newell of Penofin states: “All of our products adhered to our number one goal: protect and reveal nature’s beauty. Period.”
To help you find the perfect color for your wood, we have free samples, a color ruler that you can place over your wood, and fan decks.
Features & Benefits
Brazilian Rosewood Oil
Strong, flexible, water-resistant oil that helps Penofin out-penetrate all other stains, taking the nourishing formula deep into the wood, even dense hardwoods. Allows the wood to retain its flexibility and creates no surface film.
Transoxide Pigments
Penofin provides up to 99% ultraviolet protection. These pigments also penetrate into the wood protecting it from the inside out from the sun’s damaging rays. It adds a rich, transparent color to enhance the natural beauty of wood, highlighting the grain.
High-Grade Mildewcide
Penofin added the best quality mildew protection available anywhere to deter the insidious growth on wood.
Penetration
Penofin’s formula penetrates deep into the wood. Other coatings lay on the surface and wear away after a few months. Because Penofin is a low-solid formula, it penetrates, protecting wood beneath the surface. Test any other wood finish against Penofin with the “blotter book” test instructions and see for yourself! Another benefit to Penofin’s low-solid formula is that you will never have to worry about lap marks. This makes application fast and easy for everyone!
Product Performance Warranty
Penofin finishes are warranted to perform when applied to wood surfaces according to label instructions. Expect 2 to 5 years on vertical surfaces, 1 to 2 years on horizontal surfaces, depending on use and weather exposure. Penofin recommends preserving the beauty of your horizontal surfaces by recoating every 9 to 24 months.
EXTERIOR
Blue Label Penofin exterior finishes were formulated to safeguard the natural beauty of wood and to prevent discoloration from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Penofin resists and retards bleeding, caused by nails. Two key ingredients contribute to Penofin’s exceptional abilities:
- Brazilian Rosewood Oil provides tough, deep-down moisture protection while still allowing the wood to “breathe”. There is no surface film to trap moisture, chip, or peel.
- Microscopically fine, transoxide pigments inhibit ultraviolet damage and darkening. They add deep, rich color without hiding the natural beauty of the grain.
By precisely combining these and other ingredients, Penofin have created a line of transparent oil wood finishes unmatched in durability and beauty.
