Clear UV Extra keeps the clear, natural finish you know and trust, now with advanced UV protection that helps timber hold its warm, freshly finished look for longer. Unlike standard clear coatings, Royal Exterior Clear UV Extra uses advanced UV absorbers and light stabilisers to help protect both the coating and the timber beneath. By reducing UV-driven degradation of lignin within the wood, it helps minimise greying, weathering and the gradual breakdown that can lead to coating failure over time. The newest finish in our award-winning Royal Exterior range, it brings together an easy-to-use, water-based clear coating and advanced light-stabilising technology, so the natural character of your wood stays looking its best, season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced UV Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by our Somerset-based timber coating specialists for the demands of the British outdoors, Royal Exterior Clear UV Extra uses advanced UV absorbers and light stabilisers to help protect the finish, the timber, and its natural colour through sun and weather.
