Overview

Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus is a medium build, solvent-based woodstain for doors, windows and other exterior joinery. Formulated with UV absorbers to give wood superior protection against sun damage. Being moisture vapour permeable, it allows water vapour to escape and not get trapped under the surface.

Sikkens maintains this product will provide 5 years of protection from weathering when used in conjunction with Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus.

Preparation

Timber surfaces to be treated must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, wax and grease. The wood should be allowed to acclimatise to its end-use environment before treating. The moisture content of the timber should not exceed 18% prior to coating.

Joinery should be treated with a base coat of Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus and othewise free of any other surface coatings

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. This product is ready to use straight from the tin and does not require thinning.

Only apply at temperatures ranging between 5°C and 35°C and a relative humidity of no more than 85%. Stir thoroughly before and periodically during application to ensure a consistent finish.

Apply 2 coats of Sikkens Cetol 7 Plus with the ProDec Trade Pro Bristle Blend Brush
For best results, it is necessary to keep the interval between application of these coats as short as possible
Allow to dry fully before application of the next coat

Aftercare

Maintenance

The finish should be inspected yearly to check for any surface defects or damage as a result of weathering. If required, areas of wear or damage can be rectified by carrying out the following.

If required, fill any holes with a suitable wood filler
Colour any defective areas after preparation with the matching colour of Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus
Re-apply one coat of Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus

F.A.Q.

Can Filter 7 be used as a stand-alone product?

No, the Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus must be applied to bare wood first. If this product is applied directly to bare wood, then it will appear patchy as it is a higher build wood stain.

I have received two tins of Sikkens but one looks different to the other. One is orange and one has a purple band on. Are they safe to use?

Absolutely, in 2024 Sikkens have rebrand this product. They have assured us that the formula inside the tins are identical.

Lovely Stuff

This product was really nice to use. It flowed onto the surface and kept a good wet edge. I was using it on my mast and they are tricky things to paint but it covered it evenly and without runs. The finish was just what wanted, a satin finish showing the original wood grain.

Excellent service and well priced

I ordered some Sikkens mahogany stainer I received it within three days and at a much cheaper price than other online retailers.

Didn’t order enough Sikkens wood was a bit worried as builder gave me short notice! Shouldn’t have worried order came next day as previous order all good and gappy builder!

My builder swears by this brand he wouldn’t use anything else literally! Looks fabulous and apparently very long lasting!

Great Service

Excellent wood varnish / stain, covers very well, and looks very nice. Not a high gloss finish, more of an eggshell satin finish. Very waterproof even after only one coat. Applying second coat this weekend.

Great

If not rushed this is an incredibly good woodstain system

Excellent product

Sikkens is probably the best wood protection product out there, two coats leaves a perfect finish, 2.5 lt goes a long way , did two 7x6 solid board entrance gates both sides with two coats and still have a bit left.

Richard Baker. 2.5L, Rosewood - 048 (20/09/24)

Lovely finished put two coats on

It's expensive but you get what you pay for, and repellent to rain.

5/5

Great Product

Third occasion to use the paint. Gives a great finish goes on easy and looks likely to last a while or at the very least longer than the previous finish. Although more expensive than comparable products - happy with the finished result on three garden gates and garage double doors.

FAST EFFICIENT SERVICE EVERY TIME

SIKKENS REALLY LASTS WELL ON EXTERNAL WOOD.

Great wood stain

I always use Sikkens - it costs a bit more but it lasts for a good few years. Easy to apply and it goes a long way. Good value from Wood Finishes

Felicity Samuels. 2.5L, Light Oak - 006 (07/09/24)

5/5

Easy to use Great coverage

Using this as part of 3 layer protection system. Two coats of this on top of Sikkens Cetol Hls plus. It adds just the right amount of colour and a little goes a long way. Used on its own over bleached oak it adds a touch of oak colour without overwhelming the overall effect. By the time I've finished it will be less than 2 litres for 20 windows.

Easy to use, excellent product

Easy to apply, lovely warm colour (light oak).

Extremely good product

Applied annually my gates look like new, even after 10 years. Water repellent and very easy to apply.

MBT. 1L, Light Oak - 006 (27/08/24)

5/5

It's good,

One of the best. I'm an amateur. Getting an old coat of this off is very very difficult. After many hours of sweat and blood, applying a new coat is very easy indeed.

Roger. 1L, Teak - 085 (24/08/24)

First class in every respect The transformation was remakable Would not consider any other product

Lasts well, covers beautifully, protects as intended. Perfect

Excellent wood treatment

In my opinion Sikkens is the best wood treatment. Having been a decorator for 50 years it has been my wood treatment of choice

David White. 2.5L, Light Oak - 006 (16/08/24)

Extremely Happy with this product

My decorator recommended I purchase Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus for my wooden window frames and solid wood front door. Very pleased with the results and will certainly recommend this product to family and friends.
